“If roses grow in Heaven Lord, please pick a bunch for me.
Place them in my my mother’s arms and tell her they’re from me.
Tell her I love her and miss her, and when she turns to smile, place a kiss upon her cheek and hold her for awhile.
Because remembering her is easy, I do it everday,
But there is an ache within my heart that will never go away.”

Ten years now…

Don’t cry for me, this is where I want to stay.
It’s so beautiful here, you’ll soon be on your way.
I don’t have to pray to God anymore, now it’s face to face.
I love being in His presence, living in this place.

When you arrive here, you’ll understand much more.
Nothing hidden from you, peace is what’s in store.
I now travel down streets of gold, the people are friendly here,
Everyone smiles at me, and there is no trace of fear.

So as you walk down your streets of pavement, look up in the sky.
Smile at me in Heaven, and never wave goodbye.
I’m so happy with the angels, they’re so much fun to sit next to,
Someday you will see them, even though they’re there with you.

When your race is over, and you’ve breathed your final breath,
You will awaken in Heaven, no longer facing death.
You’ll see the eyes of Jesus, and all will be brand new,
You’ll know why it took so long, when you see this awesome view.

So remember not to cry for me, because I’m happy here,
There is no pain, or crying or a single drop of fear.
I know that you will miss me, but it won’t be very long,
Before your feet touch Heaven, and we sing a happy song.

God’s word, it talks of a crystal sea. You won’t believe your eyes,
When you behold it’s glory, you will not sit, but rather rise.
But what is even greater, is when you see His face,
Smiling down upon you, filled with all His grace.

Love,
Your children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren

December 4, 1922 to January 29, 1980

Three decades have passed since you left us.
We talk about you often,
Of things you’d say or do,
We have such lovely memories,
But we wish we still had you.
Of all the gifts we ever had,
However great or small,
To have had you as our Dad & Husband
Was the greatest gift of all.

From Your Loving Family,
Wife, Josephine, Children, Grandchildren & Great-grandchildren

If tears could build a stairway
And memories a lane
We would walk right up to heaven
And bring you home again

Love you,
Wannetta, Randy & Char, Tom and Kathy, Sherrie, Greg, Steve and Renee, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren

He only takes the best

One year ago January 10, 2009
God saw he was getting tired and a cure was not to be.
So he put his arms around him and whispered, “Come with me.”
With tear-filled eyes we watched him suffer and fade away.
Although we loved him deeply, we could not make him stay.
A golden heart stopped beating, hard-working hands put  to rest.
God broke our hearts to prove to us he only takes the best.

Your loving wife, children, grandchildren and family
