A voice from the clouds
from heaven up above.
A ray of sunshine looking down
showering us with love.
I'll always be there
so don't say good-bye.
I'm here in your heart
the tear in your eye.
Oh mother, Christine
the dearest you see.
You did your best and you never rest
And you did it all for me.
My oldest, child Sherri
your special to me.
You're love is a treasure
as deep as the sea.
To my second born, Melinda
my prayers were not in vain.
I'm watching your love blossom
only now without pain.
To Quint, my third child
a soul wild and free.
Please always remember
in you there's a little of me.
To Jody, my youngest
this is what I have to say.
I will love you forever
and I'm never far away.
And Jim, my husband
my love, my best friend.
You are my field of dreams
Between us a love that will never ever end.
And to all my little grandkids
I love you all so much.
God bless you all and keep you safe
with his loving touch.
To my sister and brother
I'm looking down from above
To fill up your hearts with
your sister's sweet love.
To my neices and nephews
and anyone not mentioned above.
I'm here in your hearts
and their filled with my love.
My family there's just one
more thing I must say
I'm right here in heaven
Have faith in God and I'll see you one sweet day.

MOTHER
Blessed is the Mother who follows the Lord, so her children
can learn and can grow... the unselfish mother who holds on
with love, yet knows when it's time to let go...
Blessed is the mother who's patient, forgiving, the one who
cannot bare a grudge, the one who accepts people just as
they are without stopping to question or judge.
Blessed is the mother whose faith keeps her going through
trials and traumas and cares, Who handles the easy with
wisdom and love and the not - quite - so - easy...with
prayers.
Blessed is the mother who meets all your needs from the
very first day of your birth, Blessed is the mother who
shares so much love, for she's God special angel on earth.
When tomorrow starts without me,
And I'm not there to see;
If the sun should rise and find your eyes
All filled with tears for me;
I wish so much you wouldn't cry
The way you did today,
While thinking of the many things,
We didn't get to say.
I know how much you love me,
As much as I love you,
And each time that you think of me,
I know you'll miss me too;
But when tomorrow starts without me,
Please try to understand,
That an angel came and called my name,
And took me by the hand,
And said my place was ready,
In heaven far above,
And that I'd have to leave behind
All those I dearly love.
But as I turned to walk away,
A tear fell from my eye,
for all my life, I'd always
thought,
I didn't want to die.
I had so much to live for,
So much yet to do,
It seemed almost impossible,
That I was leaving you.
I thought of all the yesterdays,
The good ones and the bad,
I thought of all the love we shared,
And all the fun we had.
If I could relive yesterday,
Just even for awhile,
I'd say good-bye and kiss you
And maybe see you smile.
But then I fully realized,
That this could never be,
For emptiness and memories,
Would take the place of me.
And when I thought of worldly things,
I might miss come tomorrow,
I thought of you, and when i did,
My heart was filled with sorrow.
But when I walked through heaven's gates,
I felt so much at home.
When God looked down and smiled at me,
From His great golden throne,
He said "This is eternity,
And all I've promised you."
Today for life on earth is past,
But here it starts anew.
I promise no tomorrow,
But today will always last,
And since each day's the same way
There's no longing for the past.
But you have been so faithful,
So trusting and so true.
Though there were times
you did some things,
You knew you shouldn't do.
But you have been forgiven
And now at last you're free.
So won't you take me by the hand
And share my life with me?
So when tomorrow starts without me,
Don't think we're far apart,
For every time you think of me,
I'm right here, in your heart.
