To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say....but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love. Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight. Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon, and night. That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through, God picked me up and hugged me and He said, " I welcome you."It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone. As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on. I need you here badly; you're part of my plan. There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man." God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do. And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you. And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight. God and I are closest to you...in the middle of the night. When you think of my life on earth, and all of those loving years because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears. But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain. Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain. I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned. But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand. But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er. I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before. There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb; but together we can do it by taking one day at a time. It was my philosophy and I'd like for you too...that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you. If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain, then you can say to God at night.."My day was not in vain." And now I am contented...that my life has been worthwhile, knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile. So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low, just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go. When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind; I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind. And when it's time for you to go...from that body to be free, remember you're not going...you're coming here to me.And I will always love you from that land way up above.Will be in touch again soon. 
P.S. God sends His Love






Please don't mourn for me I'm still here,
though you don't see I'm right by your
side each night and day
And within your heart I long to stay
My body is gone but I'm always near
I'm everything you feel, see or hear
My spirit is free, but I'll never depart
As long as you keep me alive in your heart
I'll never wander out of your sight
I'm the brightest star on a summer night
I'll never be beyond your reach
I'm the warm moist sand when you're at the beach
I'm the colorful leaves when fall comes around
And the pure white snow that blankets the ground
I'm the beautiful flowers of which you're so fond
The clear cool water in a quiet pond
I'm the first bright blossom you'll see in spring
The first warm raindrop that April will bring
I'm the first ray of light when the sun starts to shine
And you'll see that the face in the moon is mine
When you start thinking there's no one to love you
You can talk to me through the Lord above you
I'll whisper my answer through the leaves on the trees
And you'll feel my presence in the soft summer breeze
I'm the hot salty tears that flow when you weep
And the beautiful dreams that come while you sleep
I'm the smile you see on a baby's face
Just look for me, I'm everyplace...
 






Please don’t feel guilty
It was just my time to go.
I see you are still feeling sad,
And the tears just seem to flow.
We all come to earth for our lifetime,
And for some it’s not many years
I don’t want you to keep crying
You are shedding so many tears.
I haven’t really left you
Even though it may seem so.
I have just gone to my heavenly home,
And I’m closer to you than you know.
Just believe that when you say my name
I’m standing next to you,
I know you long to see me,
But there’s nothing I can do.
But I’ll still send you messages
And hope you understand,
That when your time comes to “cross over,”
I’ll be there to take your hand.
 



Don't think of me with sadness, nor sorrow in your heart, I heard the Lord call out my name and knew we had to part. All that the Lord created will return to him one day, with his love and with his guidance I knew I'd find the way. I willingly walked upon the trail so many have tread before, for I knew that peace would come to me once I walked through his open door. So gently and so lovingly he received my earthly soul, he took away all pain and fear and made my body whole. So many things were left unsaid, many dreams yet unfulfilled, but you my loved ones left behind, your sorrow must be stilled. You must dry your tears and think of me that I'm at peace at last. I am all around you now my reaches are so vast. So when you think of me each day, don't sorrow for the past, For I am where I had to go, Safe in heaven at last.


To those I love and those who love me Now that I am gone, release me let me go I have so many things to see and do You must not tie yourself to me with tears Instead be happy that we had so many years I gave you my love and you can only guess How much you gave me back in happiness I thank you for the love you each have shown But now it's time I traveled on alone So grieve a while for me, if grieve you must Then let your grieve be comforted by trust It is only for a while that we must part, So bless the memories within your heart I will not be far away, for life goes on So if you need me, call and I will come Though you cannot see or touch me, I will be near All my love around you soft and clear And when you must come this way alone I will greet you with a smile and say, "Welcome Home!"






Dont grieve for me,for now im free! I follow the plan god laid for me I saw his face, I heard his call I took his hand and left it all, I could not stay another day, To love,to laugh, to work or play, Tasks left undone must stay that way, And if my parting has left a void, Then fill it with remembered joy A friendship shared a laugh,a kiss, Ah yes, these things i too, shall miss, my lifes been full,ive savoured much, good times, good friends, a loved ones touch, perhaps my time seemed all to brief, don't shorten yours with undue grief, be not burdened with tears of sorrow, enjoy the sunshine of the morrow. 



Missing You
No words I write can ever say How much I miss you every day. As time goes by, the loneliness grows; How I miss you, nobody knows! I think of you in silence, I often speak your name, But all I have are memories And photos in a frame. No one knows my sorrow, No one sees me weep, But the love I have for you Is in my heart to keep. I will never stop loving you Deep inside my heart, You are with me still. There is a place in my heart That no one else can fill; I love you so, Mama And I always will!! 












Last night while I was trying to sleep,
Elaine's voice I did hear.
I opened my eyes and looked around
But she did not appear.
She said, " you've got to listen,
You've got to understand.
God didn't take me from you,
He only took my hand.
When I called out in pain that morning,
The instant that I died,
He reached down and took my hand,
And pulled me to His side.
He pulled me up and saved me
From the misery and pain
My body was hurt so badly inside,
I could never be the same.
My search is really over now,
I've found happiness within,
All the answers to my empty dreams
And all that might have been.
I love you and miss you so,
And I'll always be nearby.
My body's gone forever,
But my spirit will never die!
And so, you must go now,
Live one day at a time.
Just understand
God did not take me from you,
He only took my hand.
 










I have not turned my back on you, So there is no need to cry, I am watching you from Heaven, Just beyond the morning sky; I have seen you almost fall apart, When you could barely stand, I asked the Lord to comfort you, And I watched him take your hand. He told me you were in more pain, Than I could ever be, He wiped his eyes and swallowed hard, Then gave your hand to me; Although you may not feel my touch; Or see me by your side, I've whispered that I love you, While I wiped each tear you cried. 





Never Alone I feel you in the morning When at first I awake Your thought is with me With each decision I make You'd been around forever Since the first breath I took Now I have to go on alone But for love, I need not look Cause by what you bestowed In our short time together Will last in my heart Forever and ever Although you've left And now walk above I'm never alone I'm wrapped in your love Enjoy now your long waited reward Feel peace that your love continues on What was taught to me, will be taught to mine Cause you live on in me even after you've gone
 






 
To My Family and Friends I'm sorry your hearts are broken in two But I had to answer God's call.Remember that I love all of you And the memories I still can recall.I am here in Heaven, a beautiful place I'll send messages that you can't miss That gentle breeze you feel on your face Will be me sending a warm, gentle kiss.So all my loved one's please don't be blue I'm flying with angel wings.And until the day I'm again with you In Heaven my heart sings.





I'm sorry,They did all they could,I'm sorry I upset you.I never meant to make you cry the day I left for Heaven,for my mansion in the sky.The paramedics and strangers did all they could that day because the angels had their orders-"We've come to take you away!"I asked them if they could wait,You must believe I tried,but they whispered "It's time to go!"-The angels softly replied then they all surrounded me and we started on our way and once I saw the beauty,I knew I had to stay,I was on my way to Heaven,It was time for my Heavenly flight.The trip was overwhelming,everything so beautiful & bright.Soon my flight was ending,we'd reached our journeys end then I knew for certain,That's where all eternity I'd spend,but now I am your angel,I'm there wherever you go for I've been put in charge of my family & friends below the celebrating is endless,The rewards of Heaven are great and I'll be here waiting when you reach these golden gates.I'm sorry that I hurt you,I never meant to make you cry but one day soon you'll join me,in his mansion in the sky.Promise me you'll be ready when those Heavenly Angels appear and we'll be re-united here in Heaven-where all pain and sorrow disappear.You'll never know the time or place from which you'll take that flight but I know it is for certain-It could be next year-Next week-Or it could be tonight.So I'll be waiting here in Heaven,and there's nothing you should fear.When God looks down and calls you and those Heavenly angels appear one dayit will happen,He'll reach down for your hand and I'll be here waiting to welcome you to this glorious promised land.To my family & friends-I Love You!For I am with you still though you may not see me,This promise I will fulfill I'll do my best to guide you,to help you find your way so we can be together forever-
You Only need to Pray!








 
  
It Won't Be Long You said before you died, that I was the key to your heart. But the truth is you were mine. I ask the Lord above, to answer my prayers. That you would come back. But, that wouldn't be fair. I now know that you're happy where you are. Safe in the arms of Jesus, without any cares. But I want you to know, that I still love you so. And I'll go on living for Him, Knowing that His light will never dim. Someday together we'll be, But, until then, the Lord will take care of me. So, keep on watching, It won't be long. That from this world, I'll be gone. Into your arms once again, Safe from all the worldly harm. 




I MISS YOU 
Everyone has told me that you've gone to a better place. Still I miss you, your smile, your laugh, your face. I try to remember all the good times we shared, how much you loved and cared. I doubt there will be a day that goes by, that I will not think of you and wonder why. Why it had to be you who was taken away, when I would have taken your place any day. It seems so lonely since you've been gone, but I understand that you've gone home. I will always remember you with loving grace, and think of you with a smiling face. I know you are in Heaven right now smiling down, so I'll try my best to laugh and not frown. I am sad I wasn't able to say I love you and goodbye, even if you were unable to hear my final cry. I'll think of you when I'm feeling lonely and depressed and my tears will be laid to rest. May you always be in my heart, till the end because you were there from the start.
 








IF TEARS COULD BUILD A STAIRCASE AND MEMORIES A LANE I'LL WALK RIGHT UP TO HEAVEN AND BRING YOU HOME AGAIN.



If I could have a lifetime wish,
A dream that would come true,
I'd pray to God with all my heart
For yesterday and you.

A thousand words can't bring you back,
I know because I've tried.
And neither will a million tears,
I know because I've cried.

You left behind my broken heart
and memories too.
I never wanted memories......,
I only wanted you.





FOR OUR FAMILY I LEFT BEHIND
I know it’s hard to understand
But it’s all part of a bigger plan
It’s alright and I’m okay
I’ve never seen such a pretty place
Still I’m sorry that I had to go away
Dry your tears now don’t you cry
You know I’ll always be close by
For all those years you helped me through
Now I’ll be the one looking out for you
I’ll be right here just close your eyes
Picture my face and I’ll make you smile
Speak my name and I’ll be there for you
I promise, cause that’s what angels do
We’ve shared so many special times
The memories dance through our minds
Just keep them close when we’re apart
And wrap them tightly in your heart
Cause that’s where joy
and healing have to start
Dry your tears now don’t you cry
You know I’ll always be close by
For all those years you helped me through
Now I’ll be the one looking out for you
I’ll be right here, just close your eyes
Picture my face and I’ll make you smile
Speak my name and I’ll be there for you
I promise, cause that’s what angels do





There’s a special angel in heaven
That is a part of me.
It is not where we wanted her right now,
But where God wanted her to be.
She was here just a moment,
Like a night-time shooting star.
And though she is in heaven,
She isn’t very far.
She touched the hearts of many,
Like only an angel can do.
We would have held her every minute,
If the end we only knew.
So we send this special message,
To heaven up above.
Please take care of our angel,
And send her all our love.








If You Could See Me Now

If you could see me now
you wouldn't shed a tear.
Though you may not understand
why I'm no longer there.
Remember my spirit
that is the real me
because I'm still very much alive
I've just been set free,
Oh, if you could only see!
I have beheld our Father's face
and I have touched my Saviour's hand.
All of Heaven's angels rejoiced
as I entered the promised land.
Beyond the gates of pearl
I've walked on the golden streets.
I've touched the walls of jasper
and dipped my foot in the crystal sea.
The beauty is beyond words
and nothing could compare,
I've seen your mansion
and someday I'll meet you there.
Let Jesus be your guide
because his word will show you the way!
So please don't cry
because we will meet again someday. 


 

MOTHERS NEVER REALLY DIE, THEY JUST KEEP HOUSE IN THE SKY 
Death beckoned her with outstretched hand And whispered softly of unknown land But she was not afraid to go For though the path she did not know She took death's hand without a fear For he who safely brought her here Had told her he would lead the way into Eternity's bright day.And so she did not go alone into the valley that is unknown She gently took death by the hand And journeyed into the promised land And there with steps so light and gay She polishes the sun by day And lights the stars that shine at night And keeps the moonbeams silvery bright For mothers do not really die They just keep house in the sky And in their heavenly home above they wait to welcome those they love.



In My Mind
Somewhere in my dreams tonight
I'll see you standing there
You look at me with a smile
"Life isn't always fair"

You say you were chosen for his garden
His preciously hand picked bouquet
"God really needed me,
That's why I couldn't stay"

It's said to be that angels
Are sent from above
I've always had my angel
My Mother - whose heart was filled with love

Wherever the ocean meets the sky
There will be memories of you and I
When I look up at that sky so blue
All I see are visions of you

"While there's a heart in me, you'll be a part of me." 



No matter what life holds
and where its path leads to......
Angels are always there to bring us the hope
that we can make all dreams come true.

I am fortunate
to have found that angel in you.









No Goodbyes
I am standing right beside you
And I wonder why you cry,
I see such pain and sorrow
I see the hurt that's in your eyes.
Do not wish me back for one last kiss
Please don't wait for me to wake,
Just know how much I love you
I wish no longer your heart to ache.
You need not ever let go of me
Your friend forever I will be,
I'll be always by your side
The tough times together we'll see.
So to my friends I bid you
An oh so great farewell,
Time stands still but for no one
Go and live your lives and tell.
Tell all those that you meet
The old friends and those new,
Although you lost a friend today
You'll get chance to see him soon.
The world knows that I've gone today
But do not mourn for me,
I am happy here just watching
All the world I can now see.
To my family sitting here
And those so far away,
How proud I am of all you do
In each and every way.
I will watch you as you sleep tonight
Be with you all the days,
I’ll be there through the good and bad
My love shall never fade.
Live your life without regrets
And be happy everyday,
For knowing you has made my life
So special in every way.
My time has come to go now
But this is no goodbye,
If you ever need to talk to me
I am always by your side.
 



     


     

I Never Said Goodbye
You left in such a hurry
I did not even cry
Now i search for answer's
Why i never said goodbye

So many thing's left unsaid
For year's i held it in
The love for my mother
She was my closest friend

I should have stayed to help you
With other's instead i'd go
You left this world to quickly
How was i to know

You always had a mother's ear,the talk's when we're alone
To hear you say i love you,their warmth now is gone

You were our strength,yes the one,who made us family
O my sweet sweet mother,Jesus help me see

Many year's have passed by
Now i'm asking why
I set there by your bedside,and never said goodbye

Then the lord answered me
In my heart burns the answer why
One day you'll join your mother
There's no need to say goodbye
 


This Valentine Below is from Elaine's Great-Grandson (My Son) that she thought there was nothing like.She loved him so much.Not to say that she didn't love her other great-grandkids or that she loved mine more but we lived right next to her and we were always around her more.The last time we saw her in the hospital (The day before she died),I insisted on taking him to the hospital to see her and she didn't want me to because she said there were so many germs in the hospital that she didn't want him to get sick & that she would just wait and see him that next morning when she came home.She was supposed to be relaeased from the hospital the morning that she un-expectedly died.It was such a shock to us all and none of us were prepared for it.I know death is not something you just prepare for but I meant in the sense as she had gotten better and the Dr's were ready to relaease her is why we weren't prepared for that to happen the next morning.My son is 5 years old and he still remembers his nanny just like if she were here with us still.He still talks about her alot and talks about her being in Heaven.So he wanted to post his nanny a Valentine picture on here too and this is it.......



It's not too often that I get to sit here and just add stuff to her site but It is something that I love to just sit for hours and do.She meant so much to me.For her to be my grandmother she was like a second mom to me.Me & my mom lived with her for years and then when we moved out,she was right next door.I was REALLY,REALLY close to my nanny.She was always there when I didn't have anyone else to talk to or just sit and goof off.We played cards alot or just sit and watch T.V together,she was such a loving woman.She is TERRIBLY missed.Especially by my mom.She is REALLY taking it pretty hard even to this day.(Her other 2 girls also terribly miss her as well but I think my mother is having the worst time dealing with it that any of the others)Nanny has been gone for almost 4 years now and it still seems like yesterday.Her and my mother were also really, really close too.My nanny always helped her out when she needed help with something right after my mom & dad split up.And also while she was in the hospital the 3 girls (her Daughters) took time about staying with her at night because they didn't want her to be up there by herself.Well,my mother is the one who was there with her when she passed away.(knowing that makes it alot harder for her to deal with especially as close as they were.)We are just getting by day by day.The only thing you can really do in a situation like this! Alot of these graphics are meant from my mother to her so as you are reading,you will understand more of it.I have posted it in her Legacy for you all to get a better idea of where we are coming from and more less what really happened to our sweet angel Elaine!



We cry our tears today,
for those who have gone away.
We mourn for them,because ,we miss them so,
we did not get to say goodbye.
They were taken from us so suddenly,
and we are asking why.
All we can do is trust that
God had a plan that tragic day.
We will all meet again,
in that heavenly place where they
have gone to stay.
Until we are reunited again,
with our loved ones who wait,
we will remember them with love.
And pray to our God above,
for courage and patience,
to live our lives for the ones,
who are here,and hold them dear.




She looks in the mirror wondering where the time had went
remembering days gone by, younger years that she had smiled
She realized as she looked deeper still,how very much the years had meant
reminiscing through many heart-felt memories, she again was a child.

She brushed her hair over and over again,
wishing the younger years had left her without the age
She had been loved fully,she knew when
agonizing many through many years,now gone was the rage.

She took a deep breath, realizing there wouldn’t be many more
hoping she could hold on for awhile
What she had given for so long, the emotions reached deep within her core
though it would take longer,she would walk the mile.

She remembered the children, the marriages and the love
remembering the intensity of it all
Calling her soon, was the man from above
he would hold her hand and take her over the wall.

She imagined the regret and the sadness that would be felt
taking her face in her hands, she smiled she had lived long
The deep love she had felt in her life would always make her melt
the ups and downs had been there, it wasn’t all wrong.


   




Footprints
One night a man had a dream. He dreamed He was walking along the beach with the LORD. Across the sky flashed scenes from His life. For each scene He noticed two sets of footprints in the sand. One belonging to Him and the other to the LORD.

When the last scene of His life flashed before Him, He looked back at the footprints in the sand. He noticed that many times along the path of His life there was only one set of footprints. He also noticed that it happened at the very lowest and saddest times of His life.

This really bothered Him and He questioned the LORD about it. LORD you said that once I decided to follow you, you'd walk with me all the way. But I have noticed that during the most troublesome times in my life there is only one set of footprints. I don't understand why when I needed you most you would leave me.

The LORD replied, my precious, precious child, I Love you and I would never leave you! During your times of trial and suffering when you see only one set of footprints, it was then that I carried you.





Don't think of her as gone away
Her Journeys just begun,
life holds so many facets,
this earth is only one.
Just think of her as resting
from the sorrows and the tears,
in a place of warmth and comfort,
where there are no days or years.
Think how she must be wishing
that we could know today
how nothing but our sadness
can really pass away.
And think of her as living
in the hearts of those she touched,
for nothing loved is ever lost-
and she was LOVED SO MUCH.





Forever Changed
Can you see the change in me? It may not be so obvious to you I participate in family activities. I attend family reunions.. I help plan holiday meals.
You tell me you're glad to see that I don't cry anymore. But I do cry! When everyone has gone - when it is safe- the tears fall. I cry in privacy so my family won't worry. I cry until I am exhausted and can finally sleep. You tell me you admire my strength and my positive attitude.
But I am not strong, I feel that I have lost control; and I panic when I think about tomorrow.... next week.... next year. I go about the routine of my job. I complete my assigned tasks. I drink coffee and smile.
You tell me you are glad to see I'm "over" the death of my loved one. But I'm not "over" it. If I get overit, I will be the same as before my loved one died. I will never be the same.
At times I think I am beginning to heal , but the pain of losing someone I loved so much has left a permanent scar on my heart. I visit my neighbors.
You tell me that you're glad to see I'm holding up so well. But I'm not holding up well. Sometimes I want to lock the door and hide from the world. I spend time with my friends, I seem calm and collected. I smile when appropriate. You tell me it's good to see me back to my "old self" But I will never be back to my "old self". Death and grief, have touched my life....
and I am changed forever.





Whispers from heaven 

They say that life is fleeting
I know that this is true
I left this world so quickly
With no goodbye to you.

I know how much you miss me
Your tears fall ever light
The pillow where you lay your head
Is wet with them at night.

I know your heart is hurting
The words we left, unsaid
I love you’s, left unspoken
Are spinning in your head.

The strength that I have carried
That served to make you whole
Remains to make you stronger
Within your grieving soul.

For you see, while you were weeping
On the day I passed away
At the gravesite near the flowers
Where my loved ones knelt to pray.

An angel came to see me
She took me by the hand
She led me to a kingdom
In a very distant land.

As I look down from heaven
And see you standing there
Your heart so ever burdened
With more grief than it can bear.

I long to bring you comfort
I long to give you peace
I long to hold you closely
Cause all your tears to cease.

The joy I’ve found in heaven
Goes far beyond compare
The love that’s so elusive
Can be found here everywhere.

The light is softly shining
There’s no storm clouds here or rain
There’s no teardrops found in heaven
There’s no suffering, there’s no pain.

You needn’t be so troubled
Stay close to God and pray
That someday we’ll be together
One bright and glorious day.

So my love, you shouldn’t question
My dear you need not cry
I’ve gone to be with Jesus
I really didn’t die.
 


       




As I loved you, so I miss you;
In my memory you are near.
Loved, remembered, longed for always,
Treasured with a love sincere.
You are where I cannot see you,
And your voice I cannot hear;
Yet I know you walk beside me,
Never absent, always near 


   
A wonderful mother, woman and aid,
One who was better, God never made;
A wonderful worker, loyal and true,
One in a million, that, Mother, was you.
Just in your judgment, always right,
Honest and liberal, ever upright;
Loved by your friends and all you knew,
A wonderful mother, that, Mother, was you.
 



Our hearts are like a memory book
Its pages Mother dear,
Hold all the loving thoughts of you
Recorded year by year.
A book of golden yesterdays,
Bound with love and care,
A rare edition Mother dear
Because you're treasured there.
 

        



The Broken Chain
We little knew that morning that God was going to call your name.
In life we loved you dearly; in death we do the same.
It broke our hearts to lose you; you did not go alone.
A part of us went with you, the day God called you home.
You left us peaceful memories; your love is still our guide,
And though we cannot see you, you are always at our side.
Our family chain is broken and nothing seems the same,
but as God calls us one by one, the chain will link again.
 


  

     



A heavenly home

A world beyond this earthly home
There dwells another place
A point beyond the moon and stars
And somewhere lost in space.

A place where heavenly angels sing
With flowing robes of white
A place amongst the rainbows
And radiant beams of light.

A place where peace and love is found
Before the throne of God
A place where splendid streets are paved
And saintly prophets trod.

A place where darkness never comes
Where everything is new
A place that glows with holy light
And shines the whole day through.

A place that has no tears to dry
There is no hurt or pain
A place for us to praise our Lord
And never die again.

A place that boasts of mansions high
Mine eyes will soon behold
A place where Jesus calls to me
And waits on streets of gold. 

   
     Heaven's gate swung gently open,
The Master called softly, "Come,"
And you, dear one, took the Master's hand,
And your work on earth was done.
We'll never cease to miss you,
And shed many silent tears,
Because we cannot share with you
Our hopes, our joys, our fears.
But one day, in God's garden,
When the Master calls us to come.
You'll be at the gates with open arms
And say to us, "Welcome Home!


         

  
 
Within our hearts we always keep
A special place for you,
And try to do our best to live
As you would want us to.
As we loved you, so we miss you,
In our memory you are near;
Loved, remembered, longed for always
With the passing of each year.

Her legacy
The day you left us  

None of us thought that it was anything serious wrong with her.She had been talking about that she thought she might have a kidney infection but wasn't sure.One morning she woke up and had really bad cold chills and the shakes real bad and said her head felt crazy so she called my aunt to come take her to the E.R.There they admitted her.She had a high fever and they thought she might have kidney stones.The next day they wanted to go in and see if she had a kidney stone and remove it.But before they carried her down,she was having trouble breathing but yet they took her down for the test anyway and put her to sleep (knowing her breathing wasnt good).When they got her down there,they found that she did not have a stone and then tried to wake her up but couldn't get her out from under the anestecia because of her breathing.So they put her in I.C.U and they run test on her and found that she had E-Coli and it eventually started to shut her kidneys down,it had gotten so bad.She also had congestive heart failure and she wasnt getting any better where she was so her girls had her moved to a better hospital where there was a kidney specialist.She stayed in Critical Care Unit for a week at Tupelo Hospital where her kidneys were starting to function after the 2nd day that we moved her to this hospital.She started to get better the 2nd day that she was there so after spending a week in the unit,they moved her to room but she was so weak from all that she had been thru,they was having to help her walk with a walker down the halls to get her strength back.They told her on Friday,May 30th (her b-day) that she could go home that following Sunday which was June 1st (the day she died).We were all excited about her getting better and being able to come home but she didnt think she was ready.We told her that we would all take turns staying with her until she was able to do things on her own again but when she woke up that Sunday morning,they brought her Breakfast into her and she sit up and told my mom (her daughter) that she felt sick at her stomach and thought she was going to have to go to the restroom.My mom helped her to the bathroom,and then she went back and fixed her tray so that she could eat when she come back and she called my mom to the bathroom and said she was sick throwing up.My mom then wet her a cloth to wipe her face with and she said she felt like she was going to pass out (several times) and mom told her to lay over on her and she started to throw up again and said "I'm fixing to pass out" and then she just fell backwards while seated on the toilet.My mom then called the nurses because she couldnt get her to come to at first but by the time they got in there,she had come to.They thought she was just sick at her stomach and ask mom to hold her there until they changed the sheets on her bed.Mom asked her if she felt ok and she said "No,she felt like eveything in her was gone".My mom and the nurses helped her back to the bed and as they got her layed down,her eyes started rolling and they run to get the (i dont know what its called but it is the thing they shock you with)because her heart was stopping and she couldnt breath.They asked my mom to step out into the hallway while they worked with her.Then one of the nurses come out and got her and took her to the waiting room and said that they was still working with her.Then the Dr. came in there and told mom that they worked with her for 45 minutes and couldn't get her heart to start back.He said she could have either had a heart attack or a blood clot that they wouldnt know exactly what happened unless they done an autopsy.The girls talked it over and decided not to have one done.But now to this day we wish we had have becausse we have always wondered what really happened to her.She was very close to her daughters but my mom was the closest to her i think than any of the other 2.It was such a shock to us all because we thought she was doing so well and getting to come and then to die on the morning of her getting to come home?My mom was there by herself waiting for me and her other sisters to get there and she said it seemed like days until someone got there with her.It has took its toll on her because she was the baby of all them and at one time my mom & I lived with her so she was like a second mom to me really.My mom was the one that had to tell everyone when they got there because all they knew was that she had gotten worse.I know it hurts the other 2 girls and that they did love their mother the same as my mom did but i have to say that my mom is still to this day taking it harder than any of them.She is my nanny and I loved her soooo much also.I had my first child in March of 2001 and she thought there was nothing in this world like him.She was so close to him because she lived right next to us in the next apartment and saw us everyday and sometimes all day.When she was in the hospital all she talked about was that she was afraid that he would forget her but to this day,he still knows his nanny and talks about her just the same.We all love & miss her so and things aren't the same around here anymore without her.

Togetherness  


Death is nothing at all
I have only slipped away into the next room
Whatever we were to each other, we still are
Call me by my old familiar name.Speak to me in
the same easy way you always have.Laugh as
we always laughed at the little jokes we enjoyed
together.Play, smile, think of me, pray for me.
Life means all that it ever meant.It is the same
as it always was.There is absolute unbroken
continuity.Why should I be out of your mind
because I am out of your sight?
I am but waiting for you,in an interval,
somewhere very near, just around the corner.
All is well. Nothing is past. Nothing has been lost.
One brief moment and all will be as it was
before.......only better.Infinitely happier.
We will be one, Together Forever.


A Letter From Home  



I had a safe trip. The angels carried me safely into Father Abraham's bosom. Oh, the thrill I felt when I met the one that died for me!

And no matter what you've heard, there's just no words to describe the glories that surround him. I'm satisfied here; every need's been supplied. Just wait till you see my new home.

I'm satisfied because there's no sin here, no murders, no divorce, no abortions, and no need to ever have locks on the doors. Perfect peace reigns here. I'm satisfied because there's no sickness. Why, I've never felt better in my life! I have a brand new body just like Jesus.

And oh, I wish you could hear the singing. David played his harp today, and a great crowd gathered by the river of life and sang a new song. Of course, the angels couldn't sing that song, but they sure were listening. It's really wonderful here, because there are no strangers. Everyone knows me by name.

Why, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego showed me around. Seems like I've been here forever. The weather is great. There's a cool breeze blowing all the time. And you know one of the nicest things, night and darkness never comes. It's light here all the time, for Jesus himself is the light of the city.

Please, remember, I'm safe, I'm satisfied, and I'm not sick anymore. There will be no need for me to write again, because I was told today that nothing here ever changes. In closing, the only thing that would make this wonderful place more complete is for all my family and friends to join me here in Heaven.

When Tomorrow Starts Without Me  


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 left yet to do,
It seemed almost impossible,
That I was leaving you.

I thought of all the yesterdays,
The good ones and the sad,
I thought of all the loved we shared,
And all the fun we had.

If I could relive yesterday,
Just even for a while,
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 throne,
He said "This is eternity,
And all I have promised you."
Today your life on earth is past,
But here life 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.

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 come and take my hand,
And share my life with me?

So when tomorrow starts without me,
Don't think we're far apart,
For everytime you think of me,
I'm right here, in your heart.
