Warrensville Heights, OhioRev. Frank Young, Officiating

O, please don’t feel guilty it was just my time to go.I see you are still feeling sad, and the tears just seem to flow.We all come to earth for our lifetime, and for some it’s not

many years I don’t want you to keep crying you are shedding so many tears. I haven’t really left you even though it may seem so. I have just gone to my heavenly home, and I am closer to you than you know. Just believe that when you

say my name, I’m standing next to you, I know you long to see me, but there is nothing I can do. But I’ll still send you

messages and hope you understand, that when your time comes to cross over, I’ll be there to take your hand.
