November 29, 2008
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, "es;I welcome you."es;

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……"es;My day was not in vain."es;
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.

Words are not enough to describe the aching inside of me. My heart is broken. I think of how much time I spent with you in my youth, all of our conversations and the many gifts you gave me. The gift of knowledge being the most important. People would always say you were such a smart little girl and a good portion of that came from your dining room table. You and Mr Childs gave me Black History 365 way before Tom Joyner. You taught me that I was beautiful inside and out. You made the act of loving myself so much easier. Some would say you "es;created a Monster"es;. You were the TRUE Founder of "es;No child left behind"es; because of Ms Avaree every child in "es;our"es; neighborhood had a place where they would feel loved, appreciated and become educated. I love you "es;Ms Avaree"es;! Thank you for being you.
