Carol,
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. Love always, Angie

Alan,
I am so sorry that your daddy has passed away. I know first hand that your heart has been pulled out of your chest. Just remember that he is in a much better place then we are. Your dad was the sweetest person I have ever met, funny, and he loved Parker and those girls of Tina's so much. Let those kids know that every time he was at Dad's, they were the topic everyone talked about. He would laugh and laugh just talking about those grandkids. If there is anything you need, you call me. I love you like a brother. Love ya, Angie

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.

Allen,

Please accept my sympathy for your loss.

We have to thank God for allowing us to have memories. May the memories of your dad stay with you and help you through this difficult time.

Know that it is ok to grieve; but allow your friends to be there for you after every one have gone home.

You and your family will be in my prayers that God will grant you peace, comfort and understanding today and tomorrow.

Allen,

I just wanted you to know that I am praying for you all during this time of unspeakable loss. Please know how aware I am that while words of sympathy from friends and loved ones do provide some comfort, they do nothing to ease the pain you are experiencing. I know first hand as I just lost my father as well (3/26/09). Nothing can really prepare you for the finality of it all. I share your grief and pray that the Lord will give you all the comfort and strength He is gracing my own family with at this terrible time.

If I may, the following scriptures (among many others) are providing me comfort as I hope they will do for all of you.

Praying God's peace be upon you and your family.


"And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things have passed away." - Rev. 21:4

"Come to me all who are weary and heavy laden and I will give you rest." - Matt.11:28

~ Kelly Birdsong, Carrollton, Virginia


 

   Our deepest condolences are extended to Carol Lee and her family and friends at this difficult time.


   Y'all take good care of each other!  TYPHOONS FOREVER!  We'll Always Have Buckroe!

                          Love to all, Carol

How Can I Keep From Singing?

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?
