If tears could build a stairway,
And memories were a lane,
I would walk right up to Heaven
To bring you home again.
No farewell's were spoken,
No time for goodbye,
You were gone before I knew it,
And only God knows why.
My heart still aches in sadness,
And secret tears will flow,
What is meant to me to lose you,
No one will ever know."

Memall, I miss you more than anyone will ever know. Each day that passes seems to get harder and harder for everyone, who still wishes to hear your voice on the other end of the phone. I realize how much you are missing and never dreamed you would. It breaks my heart everyday when I look at my kids and my husband to see all that you haven't, when we had plans to do everything together. You were my rock, you were my friend, and my heart will be eternally broken now that you're gone. You've shown everyone a love that is way beyond compare, and I can't help but cry everytime I think of you. You are the strongest woman I know and I am proud to be your Tiff. The honor was all mine the day you told me to call you my Memall.
I keep your memory alive as much as possible letting the kids know that you loved them although they weren't here yet when you passed. Each day Kaitlyn says "... And my Memall loves me," and I reply, "She loved you before you knew who she was and when you were in my belly." Memall, you were right, you told me that she would be ok although I was having a very difficult pregnancy with her, and she is a trooper, she's perfect. She even has your birth mark on her arm just like you. I tell her it's a little bit of you in her, to remind her you'll always be there.
I just want to let you know that you'll always have my heart, which has a large hole in it now that you're gone. I pray to see you soon, and hope that you're in a better place.
Love Always,
Tiff
A Letter From Heaven - to comfort you
To my dearest family, some things I would like to say. But first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay. I'm writing this letter 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 am 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, your 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 days 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, 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, If I were to tell you, you would not understand. But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is over. I am 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 step at a time. It was always my philosophy and I would 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 was 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 them 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. By Anon xx Sent With Love xx
