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.
Darlene was a wonderful wife, mother and friend and will be missed by All. My prayers and sympathy are with you in this time of sorrow.

A CELEBRATIONS OF LIFE
FOR THE LATE
AGNES DARLENE MITCHELL
Darlene's legacy is not riches, possessions, or worldly goods of any kind.
It's the way she lived,
the different lives
She touched in such a short time
to most,
But verry fruitfull years.
That had been ordered and ordained by God.
The promise she kept ...
it's the kind of Virtuous Woman
She was.
A Devoted Daughter,
Sister,
Wife,
& loving Mother
Just a few of the diffrent titles she wore with pride,
Being that Virtuous Woman spoken of in
proverbs 31
Her children arise up, and call her blessed;
Paul praiseth her.
Letting her fruit of her hands and her own works praise her in the gates.
As the Masters says
WELL DONE THY GOOD AND
FAITHFULL SERVANT.
Darlene left a legacy of love that will always live on in her kids & family.
She will always be just a smile away
in your hearts and minds,
I'm thanking the Father for allowing Darlene to have grace my presence with her love and friendship
when I lived in St. Augustine
some forty years ago.
WITH DEEPEST SYMPATHY

Darlene will always be someone that I will remember. I knew her for many years growing up around the hospital. But when I cameto work there, I grew to know her more and more. She was a very strong spirit that was always there to offer guidance to those younger than her. She may have only shared 51 short years on this earth, but her presence will be remembered forever. May she rest in eternal peace. And may God bless all her family and friends that miss her so deeply.
