My letter to you from beyond:

To my Family and Friends,

If you are reading this, it means I am gone forever. I want you to know this is perfect and beautiful. This is peace and joy. All my aches and pains are now gone. I am ready to meet Jesus, so this makes it easy to leave. I have had family and friends that have gone before me so I will be welcomed by them. I will meet my oldest son for the first time, what a joy this will be. Family don’t grieve too long for me. Yes I know you will all miss me. I love you all but there is a lot of things waiting for all of you to complete. Do it now while life remains in you. Fluid, I love you and thanks for everything. Children, grandchildren, stepchildren, great grandchildren, cousins, nieces, and nephews I need you to stay in touch with each other. You all know I love my family. Life is for yesterday, today, any maybe tomorrow. Love each other and stay in touch. Don’t hold on to any hate and envy… When you complete all your work on earth, Jesus will call on you and I will be there waiting to greet you.

I love you all until we meet again,

Rose M Perry
