“HELEN YOU WILL TRULY BE MISSED BY ALL!”
Auntie Helen, as you laid there in your bed, you tried so hard to hold on. As much as WE needed you. God was calling you home. He needed another angel to help watch over US. Tears have fallen, hearts were shattered, but it was time for you to fly home. You held on until your loved ones came to say their last goodbyes, to tell you that WE loved you, and you will forever be missed. You told me, the next time you'll see me. I'll be better…As your heartbeat stopped, and your eyes slowly closed, God took another angel home. WE LOVE YOU!!!!

Dear Friend,
When you think of the cross, what thoughts come to mind?
Do words like: Jesus, Nails, Blood, Pain, Death, Tombs, an empty jar of promises of life and savor? God’s promise, His promise to you, is to do whatever it takes to save your soul. By the way that’s what His thoughts are. He is thinking about you and as you ponder the cross, He wants you to know, He did it just for you. It’s a Blessing!
LOVE YOU FOREVER, YOUR SISTER FOREVER! Shirley Jackson
