“Do not stand in my memory and weep for I am now in the presence of my Heavenly Father. When you look up in the sky, praise God, for I am home. I have a new body, an eternal body without pain, sickness, sorrow or tears. I was a son, husband, dad, laborer and friend. My attributes of faith, hope, love compassion and joy, the journey of my soul, remember me. My life here on earth, my journey now extended in the Heavenly realms, a new life and a new beginning. Remember me, I am still the son, husband, dad, laborer and friend you will always have in your hearts. Don’t weep for me, I’m finally home. I’m on the eternal and everlasting journey and until we meet again, remember, I love you.”
