To the Family

Hold your head up high and look to the sky.

I’ve had some bad days and I have had some good days.

I thank God the good out weighed the bad.

Sometime you made me mad/sad, but God made me glad.

Cry if you may, but talk to God and he will carry you each day.

Don’t mourn too long and remember to stay strong.

For I have gone home.

Love, Johnnie Mae
