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.

To My Son-in-Law

The one thing I know for a fact is that you loved my baby unconditionally and she loved you even more. I saw a boy grow into a young man right before my very eyes, who made a 360 degree change, a change for the better! Although you know at times you could make me angry with some of the things you did, I know the most important thing in your life was to make Astasia happy and you did. You were apart of our family and you will always be! Rest easy Buddy....you will truly be missed!!
Love you
Bridget

Kim you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.

Wow. I just found out when I came home and my parents told me. It's hard to believe that you're gone. I remember all the football practices and fun we had as we were kids. And I just saw you last summer too. That's the craziest part. RIP Buddy. I know you'll be protecting and watching your family from upstairs.

I'll never forget running around the neighborhood with you and Tiny.  My condolences to Kim,Deon,Tiny,Aika, and everyone else feeling pain.

Man, Buddy, it's crazy to think you're really gone. Condolences to Tiny, Aika & the rest of the family. We all miss you dearly!
