TO My Dearest Family And Friends:
There are some things I'd like to say, but first let me assure you that I arrived okay. I'm writting this from heaven where I'm here with God above, and where there's no more tears or sadness, just eternal love. Please do not be sad 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 will join us later on. Then God gave me a list of things he wanted me to do, and foremost on that list of mine is to watch and care for you. And I will be beside you each day, each week, each year; and when you're sad, I'm standing there to wipe away each tear. When you're walking down the street and you've got me on your mind, I'm walking in your footsteps just half a step behind. And when you feel a southern breeze blow gently cross your face, remember it's just me giving you a soft and warm embrace. And when you lie in bed at night and your prayers are said and done, that's when God and I are nearest as we watch you with his son. I wish that I could tell you all the things that God has planned, but if I were to tell you, you could not understand. One thing is for certain now that my life on earth is O'er, I am closer to you now than I ever was before. When you think of my life and all those too short years, because you're only human you may be brought to tears. Please do not be afraid to cry for it helps relieve the pain, there would not be flowers except for God's sweet rain. And to each and everyone of you, please trust that God knows best, I'm still not far away from you, I'm just beyond the crest. There are rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb, but together we can do it 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 so the world will give to you. If you can help somebody who is in sorrow or in pain, then you can say to God at night my day was not in vain. And now I am contented as my life it was worthwhile, knowing as I passed along I made somebody smile. So if you meet somebody who is down and feeling low, just lend a hand to pick him up as on your way you go. And when it's time for you to go from that body to be free, remember you are not going, you are coming to be with me. And I will always love you from this land way up above, and I will be in touch again soon,
P.S. God sends his love.
