You know that I’m with you and will always be.
Hold a hand, say a prayer, close your eyes and see me there.
Although you may feel a bit torn apart, please know that I’ll be forever in your heart. I’m right there with you more than you know.
Laugh as we laughed at the little jokes we enjoyed together. Pray for our family, remember all the memories we shared. Smile and think of me and if you want to, pray for me.
Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight? I am waiting for you. Don’t spend too much time in mourning. Tears are for the sad. I left to be with Jesus, and this should make you glad.
Life here for me has ended; it came my time to leave.
Don’t lose the love I gave you; feed it with your heart.
Grow it with devotion and spread it everywhere.
Don’t fret because my leaving came in such a way. There is no pain or suffering now it’s all gone away.
We’ll have another meeting, I’ve changed my address to Heaven
That’s the place you’ll find me, waiting for you!
The world lost a great man; the heavens attained an angel.
During these darks times may your hearts soften knowing many share your loss.
Sincere condolences,
Barbara & family.
