When tomorrow starts without me, and Im 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 did not 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 will 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 would 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, Id 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 a while, Id say good-bye and kiss you and maybe see you smile.

The living thinking me that was, is now forever still, and life goes on without me now, as time forever will. If your heart is heavy now because Ive gone away, dwell not long upon it friend, for none of us can stay. Those of you who liked me, I sincerely thank you all, and those of you who loved me, I thank you most of all. And in my fleeting lifespan, as time went rushing by I found some time to hesitate, to laugh, to love, to cry. Matters it now if time began, if time will ever cease? I was here, I used it all, and now I am at peace. We, the , ______, h deep appreciation, would like to express gratitude for your prayers, phone calls, flowers, and other expressions of sympathy shown during this time of bereavement.
