"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. For 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." "When tomorrow starts without me, and I am not there to see, If the sun should rise and find your eyes, all filled with tears for me. I wish so much you would not 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 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'd have to leave behind, all those things 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 did not 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, I'd say goodbye and kiss you, and maybe see you smile. But then I fully realized that 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 your life on Earth is past, and here it starts anew." So when tomorrow starts without me, don't think we are far apart. For every time you think of me, I am right there in your heart."
