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.

About 2 weeks have passed now since you went to be with the Lord and I still can't believe it. I know I didn't get to see you often but you never left my mind or my heart. You have and always will be an inspiration to me. You were always so strong and such a fighter and never succumbed to your struggles with health or the hurdles that came up in life. You showed us all what true unconditional love is and what it means to be a family and be there to support one another no matter what has come our way. I love you Grandma Martha.....always and forever.

The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He makes me lie down in green pastures; He restores my soul; He leads me beside still waters. he restores my soul; he leads me in the path of righteousness for His name's sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of shadow od death, I will fear no evil; For You are with me; Your rod and Your staff comfort me.

Martha was a wonderful person and will be missed.

Grandma, I can't believe you are gone. I love and miss you so much. Life now has changed without you and will never be the same. I'm glad we were very close and you were able to know and spend time with my children. Your last words to me were to take care of myself and my children and that you loved me. Ill never forget you, you are gone but never forgotten. I know you will always be there , looking over me. Rest In Paradise Grandma.
