For My Family and Friends

For My Family And Friends

If you are sitting here listening to these words, it's because
I am not of this world anymore. I am still here - you just
can't see me. To you my children - I want to say, that I loved
you with all my heart.

I never had riches in this world. My biggest treasure was having
you all. You were the treasure that God gave me and I took care
of you the best way that I could. Let God comfort your soul and
wipe away your tears, than go on with your lives.

Today I must take a journey but I must do it alone. My job here 
has been done. I am now going to a better place. Please don't cry 
for me, I have not died. I have only started a new life. Time will 
heal your pain.

Try to live a righteous life, stay close to Jesus and you will be close 
to God. We will see each other again, when you climb the golden
stairs. I will meet you there. To my family and friends, I want to say 
thank you for all the years ant times we spent together.

The times we laugh and the times we cried. As we all know, everything
comes to an end and now I must say my last goodbye. From above I will 
ask my Lord Jesus to bless each and everyone of you...

Note: My best friend asked me to write 
something for her. This is what I wrote
