Dear Ewing Family:

I was saddened to hear about Billy. We know he is in a new body and there is no more suffering. To his children, I would like to say what a joy it was in knowing your father in Jr. High School at John Trotwood Moore. He was a cut up and he always had a smile on his face/ a joke to tell you. May his soul rest in peace. To Tyrone, I know the pain you are feeling. Please know that my thoughts and prayers are with you and your mother. Stay strong and hold on to your faith. Jesus will see you through.

God bless,

Albertine Baker

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.

Tyrone,
It saddened me to hear of Billy's passing. My heart goes out to you and your family. I will continue to keep within my heart fond memories of the love and kindness Billy shared when we were students at Hillsboro High. It is difficult loosing a sibling. I remember the close bond you shared with your brother. It is my prayer God will lift you up and keep you high helping you through this difficult time of life. It is also my prayer you will be able to continue in your life journey. May the peace and comfort only God can give be with you and your family. With much love, your friend of Hillsboro High.
