Do not grieve for me. I have had your love. My life has been good but God promised me a better place in his heavenly home. God called, it was time for me to go.
I thanked God often for the gift of love from my husband, children, grandchildren, great grandchildren, friends and at times even strangers.
If my parting has left you with sorrow remember a laugh, a kiss, joy at being near, the love we shared and then remember God has been kind and good to give us the time we had.
I gave you my love, you gave me yours. What more can we ask. I will always be near for you when you look at a sunset, a rainbow, the ocean, and the things we enjoyed together. Although you cannot touch or see me, I will be there.
Remember death is God’s plan for us all. I will not be far away for life goes on. So if you need me, call and I will come and if you listen with your heart, you will hear all my love around you, soft and clear.
So when you come this way alone, I will greet you with a smile and take you home to God.
Love,
Shirley Lorene Gilbert Marler
