To the Family,



Ma Worthey is home now. I will continue on praying for the family.

Wheeler/Worthey Families:



The Astrop & Faulkner Families want you to know that our prayers and love are with you during this time of bereavement. May God continue to keep you in his care now and throughout the days ahead.

May your hearts soon be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate a life well-lived.

Mrs. Wheeler and family:

My thoughts and prayers are with you during your loss. Continue to hold on to God's unchanging hands for comfort and strength. He will see you through. It was very nice seeing you and your mom while visiting my dad at Eldercrest. She is home now, no longer in pain nor suffering. She will be missed. But one thing for sure, she is absent from the body, but present with the Lord. God Bless you all.

Love

We are deeply sadden by our lost of Grandmother Worthey, and would like to express our condolence to all members of our great family! May love become our shelter, may the beauty of precious memories be our comfort! All of our relatives are held in gentle thoughts of prayers. In the quiet moments, when our heart hurt is hard to bear, may the memories held deep within our hearts help sooth our pain at this difficult time! You’re all in our prayers!

Love always, Wanda, Fred & Nicole White

Mrs. Wheeler and family:



Although it has been years since I've seen you, I just wanted to drop a few lines to let you know that I am thinking of you at this time. God is always in control. Much love to you all and continued prayers. (Michael Platt's Mom)

Letter from Heaven

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.
