I’m giving you this message, and it’s sent from God above.
He says that he is with you, and He’s sending you His love.
I’m to tell you that your loved one is not that far away.
She’s waiting up in Heaven, where we all will unite again one day.
Do not stop the tears you cry, for they’re sent from God above.
They are not a sign of weakness, but a representation of your love.
Each tear is filled with memories, of times that we all shared
So when a tear runs down your face, God’s reminding you they’re there.
That’s why at night when your alone, and you toss and turn to sleep.
That the pain inside overwhelms your heart, and it cuts so sharp and deep.
If you stop and look inside your heart, it’s not the pain you bear.
It’s all the good times God let us have, and allowed us all to share.
Death is a graduation of life on earth, and the memories are the tears.
Each tear represents a moment in time that will last throughout the years.
Now close your eyes and be at peace, and know you’ll meet someday.
He will never stop his love for you, because He’s here and He’ll stay.
Now rest Aunt Caryn, the good will come, this promise to us all he gives.
God loves you so. He won’t let you go, and His grace will never end.
So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.
Isaiah 41:10

My sister, Mona, sent me Caryn’s obituary. I am so sorry to hear this news and send my sympathy to all of Caryn’s family. You have been in our thoughts and prayers since we heard the news.
Sue, I hope you are able to email me at some point. I would love hearing from you and would like to catch up–it has been way too many years.
Love,
Cheri and Ron Hire
