Please don't tell me not to cry
Please don't say there was a reason why
You don't know what I am feeling or how much I hurt
the wet spots are from tears on the collar of this shirt
You think I should go on with life
Forget about it and be strong but deep down I am sad, and I dont't want to go along I don't expect you to understand why for no apparent reason I break down and start to cry My life has changed forever, you see and that is why I am not acting liked the same ole me So please dont't try to act like nothing happened because it's change my life forever I will never be the same again.
Not today, not tomorrow but never
the best thing you can do for me is just be there
Just like always, my firend
My broken heart is hurting bad
And it will never mend.

I miss my papa so much, i feel like life is moving along and im being left behind, life is not prejudice it does not stop. it is what it is as much as i hate waking up and dealing with the fact that my papa is not here with me that i can't pick up the phone and call him. but when I close my eyes I go to a world where I hear my papa sing and laugh. I love u papa and i miss u so much.
Thank you for all that have kept me and my family in there prayers. thank you HFMC.

I got here too late to try to make new memories not knowing time was short. But I have the memories of our teenage years, the memories are good and that's what keeps me going. I will miss him also but I know we'll see each other again. Love Alicia

My brother will be missed by all of us. I loved having him at my thanksgiving family gathering, everyone knew a few songs were on the way once we ate and had some wine. Thanksgiving dinner will never be the same. He will live forever in my heart. He loved being with his daughters,here is a picture of him with Aida. Love Nona

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 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 always my philosophy and I'd like it 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.
