A Letter From Heaven
To those we love,
Since we parted, you have been sharing so much of us with those around you. The memories are so fresh and real. You hold on to us so tightly in your hearts - where we shall always be.
Your concern has always been for us, but we wonder how you are doing. You will never know all of the prayers that have been prayed for you, the tears that have been shed over your grief and the concern that has been shown for you in a multitude of ways, but we find it so comforting to know you haven't been left alone.
Please know that we are not alone, either. The death that hurt you the most has given me the gift of eternal life. God's promises have been fulfilled in us. When we left you, God was there, waiting, just as He promised. We're surrounded by perfect love. Never let anyone tell you God doesn't exist. If you need to be mad at Him for awhile, that's okay; He can handle it. But never let hate, anger or bitterness fuel you emotions. Talk to Him and let him talk to you. Listen for Him in the voices of the people who love and care about you, and let His Word reassure you that we are doing just fine.
It is comforting to know that you hold us so close while struggling with the prospect of letting us go. You need to know that we will always be together. Eternity is not 'out there,' eternity is now! We have simply moved a little farther ahead of you.
Remember that God never wastes anything - especially love. The love that we shared on earth will be even greater in Heaven. For now, you must rest assured that we are safe in God's perfect love. We would like you to take some of the love you have for us and share it with those around you. You can never run out of love - the more you give away, the more you will have. And let others love you . you are worth loving.
Life is forever. Ours has changed in the twinkling of an eye while yours is changing day-by-day and minute-by-minute. Though your lives will never be the same, that does not mean that they cannot be filled with peace, joy and love. Always look to the future. Don't be afraid of tomorrow - God's already there. Be patient with yourselves. You will make some mistakes, and you will even find yourselves not thinking about 'us' from time to time. That's all right too. All of our needs are being met; you need to take care of you. Hold onto one another, help each other, give hope and love to all you meet.
Above all, be prepared to welcome others into your world of grief and mourning. You are being taught valuable lessons that will need to be passed along. Some will not have your strength, many will not have your faith, and most will feel they are all alone; but all will need the love and understanding only you will be able to give. Now, your pain is the only credential you need to minister to others. When you think of us, never think of us as being alone. Think of us smiling, laughing and enjoying all that god has prepared for us.
Finally, never believe you are alone. Do not focus on what you have lost, but look always at what you have left. You are surrounded by people who love you and care about you. Live with them, love with them, share with them and laugh with them. Make every day a celebration of life - a life that will never end. We will meet again, and until we do, know that we are very proud of you for never giving up.
We love you!
Your Loved Ones In Heaven

MY DARLING AUNTY FRAN
Dear Aunty Fran, What can I say, you touched me so deeply when I visited you in 2002. I saw the tears in your eyes as I walked up the path to your door and all you could say was 'Monica' 'Monica', you kissed me and held me. I too was full of emotion. I know my mother Monica ( your sister) was with us then and I know you are with her now. I treasure the time we spent together. I never in my life dreamed I would ever go back to England yet alone meet my family left behind. I so treasure our moments together. Please give my mother a hug from me, I loved her so much, she was a wonderful mum to us all and we miss her. She loved her brothers and sisters dearly and I know she is happy to be meeting up with you all.
You were a strong woman on earth, and I am confident you will be a stronger woman wherever you are now.
your loving niece Lynn.
A very special Lady
My first instinct when I met Francis was 'wow, what a special Lady' so glad my instincts were right. Francis loved her husband Sid through thick and thin, for a small person she was so strong, yet so gentle. She was a brilliant mother to her 4 children, Tony, Derrick, Yvonne and Kenny. Even when things were not going as planned she never had a bad word to say about anyone, she would just listen and offer a kind word right where it was needed. I did not know Francis until most of her grand children had grown up, but as the Great Grand Children came along, you could see that she delighted in them and was very comfortable with her life.
Francis would attend church most weeks, offering thanks and prayers for everyone, not just family members. Towards the end, Francis was in hospital, where she was being treated for her cancer. During this time, she never complained, although she was in a great deal of pain, but she never showed any fear, even when she knew that the end was very near. I don't think I have ever met anyone who has touched me as much as Francis. God Bless, shine for us from above as you did here. Much love always. XXXX
