A Letter From Heaven.

When tomorrow starts without me and I’m not there to see; If the sun should rise and find your eyes all filled with tears for me. I wish so much you wouldn’t cry the way you did today; While thinking of the many things we didn’t get to say. I know how much you love me as much as I love you; and each time that you think of me, I know you’ll miss me too.

~ Acknowledgements ~

~The Family

When tomorrow starts without me, don’t think we’re far apart For every time you think of me, I’m right here in your heart.

Mom

Mom, you left us beautiful memories. Your love is still our guide, and though we can’t see you, you’re always by our side. We miss you dearly and hold you close within our hearts, and there you will remain to guide us through our lives without you. We will love you always until we meet again. Thank you, Dear God, for giving us our mom; watch over her and bless her, Lord and keep her in your care.

Love, Deborah, Doris, Teresa, and Iris.

Grandmother

You held us while we were small and watched us as we grew tall Your hugs and kisses were sweet And your love melted into our hearts to keep. You gave us a sense of peace with Sunday’s recipe A thousand pictures speak words we cannot say We use the images to remember you for this special day We will lift you up and celebrate For you lived a long and fulfilling life Watch over us as we live out loud for you in this world Thank you for being our most precious girl. Love, Kendal, Jared, Maia, and Cameron Great Grand Kadence and Mason
