Dont spend too much time in mourning. 
Tears are for the sad. I left to be with Jesus and that should make you glad. Dont waste your hours in grieving, no need to feel distress. Im tired of lifes frustrations and had to have some rest. Dont vex yourself with questions, or try to reason why. Life here for me was ended, it came my time to die. Dont lose the love 1 gave you, feed it with your care. 
Grow it with devotion and spread it everywhere. Dont fret because my leaving came in such a way Well have another meeting in Gods Eternal Day.
