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.

Well as Deitra's son i didn't know Joey Artis Massey that good but i should have got to know him more better and i really think that he is in a better place now. He will stay remember for all the good things he had in his heart. He was a nice man and i think it wasn't his time but yet God always have a time for everyone. I guess it was just his time. Also i never did get to meet most of his family and would like to. I know that me and my mom were the last to talk to him, and i though he was gonna be okay but i guess his time was up. I'm sending you my deepest condolence to the family.

Chris even though daddy's time on earth has ended, know that his spirit lives on. One of the many things that I will always remember about my daddy, is the fact that he wanted us to know all of our family. He was so proud of his grandchildren. And they were even prouder of him. Two of them had even made plans to live with daddy just so they could attend A.L. Brown High School (smile). Remember that we must keeping praying and trust that God will answer our prayers.

I love you big brother and daddy is proud of you!
Love Meka

Chris, Tameka, and the wonderful grandchildren I apologize for not personally getting to no you all, but his words about his family told me everyday how much he loved you all. I will really miss him the short months we spent together. Friends don't come everyday so we put him in Gods hands forever. And if there is anything I can do for the family I will truly be honored.

Tameka, Chris, and the Massey Family:

It is difficult to find words to express our regret at the passing of your father, Joey.

Joey was a gentleman full of kindness and had a warm smile. He was sincere, earnest, loyal, and we believe, he was an affectionate father to his children. Tameka and Chris, may your memories serve as comfort during your bereavement.

We, his many friends, and the community will miss him and, his passing grieves us inexpressibly. I will, personally, miss seeing Joey and Mrs. Ethel together at church.

Remember:

Joey is not gone. He is just away, with a cheery smile and the wave of the hand; he has wandered into an unknown land and left us wondering how very fair that land may be, since he tarries there.

Please accept for yourselves, and all who mourn with you, our assurance of heartfelt sympathy.

The Anthony Family

To the Massey Family,
I write these words with great sorrow in hearing of "Masseys" passing. I have spent the pass few days thinking of him growing up in "Little Texas", Wanda & the children. As far as the Little Texas guys are concerned, "We have loss a Texas Ranger"(smile)

Massey was true!!! I pray for the entire family & ask God to give you strength. I will miss him & so will Little Texas.
