December 9, 2010
To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."
It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

To The Tucker Family(that I consider my family),
Thanks for sharing your Daddy with me all these years. It has always been a blessing growing up with you all and Sam has treated me as his own. He kept it real for me when I needed and shared with me some adult lessons that only he could a(nd that only he and I knew). I cherish the time we all had with him in OUR lives, as he was MY father figure. Continue to hold on to the strong family bond and lift up Ms. Jean during these times. God will give you strength if you trust in Him. Much Love and Never Ending Peace........

Hey Daddy
I am going to miss you soooo much. You were our protector and now angel in heaven. I will always remember you calling us "Monkey Face" when you came home in the evening.

No one will ever understand our family bond and no one will ever break it.

To the Tucker Family,
I had the privilege of working with Sam for many years at Moore's. My son Don went to school with the twins. He was a blessing to all that knew him.
To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord. Psalm 116: 15 says "Precious in the sight of the Lord, is the death of His saints." May these words comfort you through these days.
Love and Blessings,
Doris White
