| Death is nothing at all
I have only slipped away into the next room I am I and you are you Whatever we were to each other That we are still Call me by my old familiar name Speak to me in the easy way you always used Put no difference into your tone Wear no forced air of solemnity or sorrow Laugh as we always laughed At the little jokes we always enjoyed together Play, smile, think of me, pray for me Let my name be ever the household word that it always was Let it be spoken without effort Without the ghost of a shadow in it Life means all that it ever meant It is the same as it ever was There is absolute unbroken continuity What is death but a negligible accident? Why should I be out of mind Because I am out of slight? I am waiting for you for an interval Somewhere very near Just around the corner All is well. Nothing is past; nothing is lost One brief moment and all will be as it was before How we shall still laugh at the trouble of parting when we meet again. |

March 26, 1932 November 16,2003 To My Dearest Family... Patricia Engle (Wife) John F Engle (Son) Michele Cole (Daughter) Linda (Daughter) Penny Butler (Daughter) There's some things I'd Like to say But First of all, to let you all know That I have arrived okay & Well With No Pain. I'm writing this from Heaven Up Above. I Have Joined The Shinning Stars There is no more Pain Nor tears of Sadness. There is just Eternal Love. Please do not be Unhappy Always Look Up And Smile Just because I'm not around Always Remember That I am with you in your Heart and Soul , I follow your every Footsteps and watch over you Morning,Noon And Night. When you think of me on Earth and all of those loving years we had together it is bound to bring tears but always remember one thing, that they are tears of joy, and dont be afraid to cry it helps relieve pain of any kind. There will always be Rocky roads and many Hills to Climb but Together Hand In Hand We can do it by taking one day at a time. "God Bless" Each and Every One of my Children And Grandchildren And Great Grandchildren But Most Of All My Wonderful Wife Mother Of My Children I LOVE YOU ALL Love Daddy/Grandpa |
