Mrs. Cole must be celebrating something very similar to the words expressed in this poem and, indeed, wishing she could share it with us. She is truly Blessed to have been bestowed the Greatest Gift of All to Mankind, to enter the Kingdom of God, because of her faith in God and His Grace. Through her love, compassion, generosity, and her strong unwavering dedication to her Christian faith, her Family-whom she loved dearly, and the unyielding service to her Country in her lifelong career of easing the pain and suffering of others; and, through the Hand of God, the healing of others, she will surely be rewarded in Heaven. She will be sorely missed by Steven, but he has wonderful, cherished memories of her, and they will unite again one day in all of Heaven's Splendor and Glory. It is through Steven's strong Christian belief of knowing that his Mother is with God now and that he will be with her again, along with our Prayers of Sympathy, that will console him and get him through this insurmountable grief and sorrow from which he is now suffering. I continue to pray for God to watch over Steven and ease his pain, and to comfort him in knowing that God, and his mom, will forever and always be there, watching over him.

If you could see me now you wouldn’t shed a tear. Though you may not
understand why I'm no longer there. Remember my spirit that is the real me
because I'm still very much alive, I've just been set free, Oh, if you could only see!
I have beheld our Father's face and I've touched my Savior's Hand. All of
Heaven's angels rejoiced as I entered the Promised Land. Beyond the gates of
pearl, I've walked on the golden streets. I’ve touched the walls of jasper and
dipped my foot in the Crystal Sea.
The beauty is beyond words and nothing could compare,
I've even seen your mansion and someday I'll meet you there.
Let Jesus be your guide because His Word will show you the way!
So please don't cry, because we will meet again someday.

We little knew that day that God was going to call your name, In life we loved you
dearly, in death we do the same. It broke our hearts to lose you, you did not go
alone, For part of us went with you, the day God called you home. You left us
peaceful memories, your love is still our guide, And though we cannot see you,
you are always at our side.
Our family chain is broken, and nothing seems the same,
But as God calls us one by one, the chain will link again.
