- Dear Family: We are so sorry for the loss of your son. Bill and I were
taking another couple home Saturday night via Cantrell Rd., and came across
the accident about 10:15 p.m. We were re-routed but I couldn't stop thinking
about the accident. When we found out the deceased (Monday's paper) I was
again profoundly saddened since we were at the University in late 50's and
Bill knows Gerald, etc. Please accept our deepest sympathy. We lost our son,
Bo, almost five years ago and from the wish of your memorials, we also
experienced a lot of anguish when Bo was alive. Truly, it makes no
difference for they were loved whatever the choices ...and it still hurts
just as much. We really are thinking about you all.

- Death is nothing at all. I have only slipped away into the next room. I am
I, and you are you, whatever we were to each other, that we are still. Call
me by the old familiar name. Speak of me in the easy way which you always
used. Put no difference into your tone. Wear no forced air of solemnity or
sorrow. Laugh as we always laughed at the little jokes that we enjoyed
together. Play, smile, think of me, pray for me. Let my name be ever the
household word that it always was. Let it be spoken without an effort,
without the ghost of a shadow upon it. Life means all that it ever meant. It
is the same as it ever was. There is absolute and unbroken continuity. What
is this death but a negligible accident? Why should I be out of mind because
I am out of sight? I am but waiting for you, for an interval, somewhere very
near, just round the corner. All is well.

- Letter From Heaven
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 am 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.
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 I could tell you all that God
has planned. If I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand. But one thing
is for certain, though my life on earth is over. 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 was 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 you 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. I miss you, I love you, you are always in my heart.

Shouts of joy and victory resound in the tents of the righteous: "The LORD's right hand has done mighty things!" (Psalm 116:15). I will not die but live, and will proclaim what the LORD has done. The LORD has chastened me severely, but he has not given me over to death. Open for me the gates of righteousness; I will enter and give thanks to the LORD. I will give you thanks, for you answered me; you have become my salvation. (Psalm 116:17-21).

- "For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory; While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal."
2 Corinthians 4: 17-18
