I am so sorry to hear that Amos has passed away. He was like another dad to me. He has been in my life for over 40 years and he was Dad's best friend in the whole world. Now they are together again in heaven and now we have another guardian angel to protect us and Tina is smiling down laughing 'cause she has her daddy again.

Dear
Campbell Family, April 07, 2009
I will
always remember Amos coming to pick up Jennifer and Kayla.. They were still
both in diapers.. Jen was about 2 and Kay still a baby.. Amos covered in mud
from the construction site, and him carrying a flowered diaper bag, and both
girls.. I know they were his life and they both ran to meet him every time
he showed up.. I will always remember his and my trips to Piney River for
the "boys" weekends..

To my dearest family, some
things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay. I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above. Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just 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. That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through, God picked me up and hugged me and He 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'll be here later on. I need you here badly; you're part of my 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's chores put to flight. God and I are closest to you....in the middle 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 that 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 o'er. I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before. There are many rocky roads ahead of you 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 pain, then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain." And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile, knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile. So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low, just lend a hand to pick him 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. Ruth Ann Mahaffey (author) ©Copyright 1998-2009 http://www.ruthann1.com April 08, 2009 Carol, May God bring you peace in your time of sorrow knowing that where he is now, there is no illness and no pain. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Sondra C Simmons/MIH

Words and
Music by
Robert Wadsworth Lowry,
1860
(12 Mar 1826 - 25 Nov 1899)
My life flows on in
endless song;
Above earth’s lamentation
I hear the sweet though far off hymn
That hails a new creation:
Through all the tumult and the strife
I hear the music ringing;
It finds an echo in my soul—
How can I keep from singing?
What though my joys and comforts die?
The Lord my Savior liveth;
What though the darkness gather round!
Songs in the night He giveth:
No storm can shake my inmost calm
While to that refuge clinging;
Since Christ is Lord of Heav’n and earth,
How can I keep from singing?
I lift mine eyes; the cloud grows thin;
I see the blue above it;
And day by day this pathway smoothes
Since first I learned to love it:
The peace of Christ makes fresh my heart,
A fountain ever springing:
All things are mine since I am His—
How can I keep from singing?
