I’d like the memory of me to be a happy one when my time here on earth is done.
I’d like to leave an afterglow of smiles when life is done.
I’d like to leave an echo of the happy times, laughing times and the bright and sunny days that we have shared.
I’d like the tears of those who grieve to dry before the sun comes up.
Remember the happy memories that I leave you when my life here on earth is done.
I love each and every one of you. You’ll never know how much. You all have been my life.
Jesus is calling me and I must go.
Daddy and all of our loved ones will be waiting when I walk through heaven’s door.
So don’t be sad, be happy.
Take care of each other for me. God bless you all. Be safe.
I love each and every one of you-more than you’ll ever know.
Love you,
Mama, Nana, sister and friend
