I thank God for Blessing me with you as my mother. I'm trying so hard to be strong and brave as you have taught me through the years.Should I fall short of that just whisper in my ear and say the words you used to say "Sissy, I taught you better."

To my dearest friends and family, I have things I'd like to say ...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Where I am now with God above.
Here, there's no pain or sadness; Here, there's eternal love..

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
The day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and said, "I welcome you."

It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they will be here later on.
I need you here so badly; you're part of my big plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.

God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day gone from your sight,.
God and I are closest to you....in the darkness of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all the great things God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is done
I'm closer to you now, remember that my Son.

There are many rocky roads ahead and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and in pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am at peace....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet someone today who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick them up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.


My thoughts and prayers are with you all and even though I couldn't be there for you I am thinking of you and want you to know that you are in my heart and on my mind. The bond between a mother and a child is the strongest bond there is and you will miss her so badly. Just remember that you have friends that truly care about you and are here for you no matter what time day or night.

Good-bye sweet sweet Dolores, you were one of the best women that I have ever had the honor to meet. You were an awesome mother, grandmother, and friend and you will be missed by many. It makes me feel blessed to know that you are up in Heaven looking down on us and continuing to take care of us like you did while you were here. R.I.P
Dolores Ann Beavers .......
