    A message to the family of Mrs. Elizabeth Parsons

    An Angel whispered take my hand and come with me your work here is done. I’ve gone away to a place where there are no tears, nor sorrow only laughter, smiles, and there will always be a tomorrow.
    As I move amongst the clouds. I’ll look down and smile upon you, while the angels sing a heavenly song. I am not alone. All who went before me are here, and they awaited my return.
    I know you’ll grieve and wish I was still there. I am there in the memories you hold dear. Remember how much I love you, and know that I took your love with me.
    I do not wish for you to cry, nor feel sad. My pain is gone and I am Free! God will be with you just as He’s with me.
