I left this earth and took my heavenly flight…I caught a glimpse of the streets of gold, heard the angels signing louded than i had ever heard them before….I saw loved ones and friends who went on before me, but what made me not want to turn and come back this time was the sound of HIS voice and the splender of HIS grace and I turned and I looked upon HIS face….there was no leaving then for YOU see, I had finally crossed over, no pain, no more sickness, no more disease and to see and be with the one who had done this for me, why would I want to come back? It would make your pain easeier, but mine would still be there and eventually my death you would still have to bear, so I made the decision that if HE would let me stay, then I was ready to take my place with HIM covered with so much beauty, splendor and grace…
Dear Gary & Teresa,
My heart aches for you knowing you have lossed your sweet Mother. I know how you will miss sweet Martha. We will all miss her, she was a loving person. My prayer is for God to wrap his loving arms around you and all the family and see you through this rough time. I also know that Martha is our ‘Guardian Angel’ now she is definately watching over all of us. I loved being her neighbor, she was always so sweet and kind to me and my whole family. To be absent from the body means being present with the LORD. I know Martha, will have a wonderful Christmas celebration, up there in Heaven with our Saviour. It will not be long until we see her sweet face again.. I love you Martha Marlow and I am gonna miss you alot! Rest In Peace… Love Vera
Dear families I’m sorry for what happened to you. Its hard to believe someone would do something like this. At least there is 27 more angels in Heaven that can no longer be hurt and you will be with them again one day. You may not think there with you but they are there in your heart and watching over you.
To the families of the teachers the teachers died a hero to me and to those kids they saved and there watching over you and in your heart too.
