Beloved husband of Elizabeth Ann HendrixA 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.
1 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.
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.

There are times when we don’t understand all God has in His Master Plan.
But as we stand on His promise of never leaving us nor forsaking us, we find that He makes provisions in times like these through the people like you who touch our lives. From our family to yours, we thank each of you from the depths of our hearts for your condolences, cards, flowers, visits, food, phone calls, and every expression of love that you have shown to us during this very difficult time in our lives.
We thank God for each of you.
