                                Safe in the keeping of God.

       

                I am home in Heaven, dear ones, Oh! so happy and so bright!

                There is perfect joy and beauty in this everlasting light.

                All the pain and grief are over, every restless yearning past.

                I am now at peace forever, safely home in Heaven at last.

                Dear one, do not grieve so sorely, for I love you dearly still.

                Try to look beyond earth's shadows, pray trust our Father's will.

                When your work is all completed, He will gently call you home.

                Oh! the rapture of that meeting! Oh! the joy to see you come!

       

               FLY WITH THE ANGELS RICKY, I LOVE YOU. MOM

      Type: Loss of a Child

      When my son was growing up I always knew he would die before he was 25. He died on October 30th 2001 at the age of 22yrs. He was my only son, Ihave 2 grown daughters also. Ricky was a passenger in a car with his friend driving.Usually he did the driving but his friend wanted to. The boy lost control of the car and it hit boulders and flew over some cranberry bogs and landed upside down. It took two hrs to get him out. He died during surgury. I will never forget that nite.
