Lived beside them several years when I was a child. Oldest daughter Sonia was my best friend. We moved so far away I lost track of them all love to her and all the family.

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.

My deepest sympathy to my other family. You know I love you all and I share in your loss. I loved my "Sugar Pie." There way too many memories to write them all down. Him and Lorraine were my second parents. I loved them both soooooo very much and I miss them. I know they are together with my parents and brother in heaven and all their loved one that went before them, and someday we will all be together again.

My condolences to the entire Cubbage family. I will never forget all the times that Earl would take me fishing and hunting with Mark growing up. He was the reason that I developed such a love for the outdoors. Now, almost 30 years later, I still recall alot of those trips he would take us on. It just brings a big smile to my face. Earl, I just want to thank you for all those memories, As a kid, My father never really had the time to take me fishing, and I never thought that I would grow up with such a passion for it but thanks to you, I did.
With Love

My heart and love goes out to the entire Cubbage family. I too recently lost my dad. It was one of the hardest things I've ever had to deal with. Just please know that I'm here to help and will be by your side when ever you need me. Love Kim
