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 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, 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 what God has planned. 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 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 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. Author Unknown
Reny would like this version of Footprints In The Sand. We know she is smiling at this one.
BUTT PRINTS IN THE SAND
One night I had a wondrous dream, One set of footprints there were seen, The footprints of my precious Lord, But mine were not along the shore,
But then some stranger prints appeared, And I asked the Lord, "What have we here?" Those prints are large and round and neat, "But Lord, they are too big for feet."
"My child," he said in somber tones, "For miles I carried you alone, I challenged you to walk in faith, But you refused and made me wait."
"You disobeyed, you would not grow, The walk of faith, you would not know, So I got tired, I got fed up, And there I dropped you on your butt."
"Because in life, there comes a time, When one must fight, and one must climb, When one must rise and take a stand, Or leave their butt prints in the sand."
WHEN TOMORROW STARTS WITHOUT ME
When tomorrow starts without me, and I'm not there to see. If the sun should rise and find your eyes, all filled with tears for me; I wish so much you wouldn't cry, the way you did today, While thinking of the many things we didn't get to say,
I know how much you love me, As much as I love you. And each time that you think of me, I know you'll miss me too; But when tomorrow starts without me, Please try to understand. That an angel came and called my name and took me by the hand, and said my place was ready In Heaven far above, and that I'd have to leave behind,
All those I dearly love.
And when I thought of Worldly things, I might miss come tomorrow, I thought of you, and when I did, my heart was filled with sorrow. But when I walked through Heaven's gates, I felt so much at home. When God looked down and smiled at me, from his great golden throne, He said, "This is eternity, and all I've promised you. Today your life on Earth is past, But here it starts anew. I promise no tomorrow, But today will always last, and since each day's the same day, there's no longing for the past. But you have been so faithful, so trusting and so true, though there were times you did some things, you know you shouldn't do."
"But you have been forgiven, and now at last you're free. So won't you take my hand, and share My life with Me? "So when tomorrow starts without me, don't think we're far apart, for every time you think of me,
I'm right here in your Heart
Reny left behind a beautiful little girl, who she adored.
On special occasions she would give her father a single red rose. He also would give her a single red rose. This was a very special token of love.
THE STORY OF THE SINGLE ROSE
It has long been tradition to send one perfect long stem rose to the one that you truly love. The rose is symbolic of so much in life that signafies love. The rose was singled out by God to be the flower of the Christ Child...the rose of sharon. It's petals as soft as the skin of the newborn... It's bark so very slick that water and sins are repelled instantly, preserving it's vaginal exterior, as was God who became man. In its' bud which form so tight..that evil could not penetrate the precious petals. As it begins its' opening ballet ..the petals unfold to reveal the riches of its' hidden beauty. Although He was born of lowly dwelling, the manager there was hidden inside the mighty power of the Savior. The Wiseman brought Him gifts of frankincense, a fragrance so treasured among men that it was the gift to a King. So the fragrance of the rose is unique among all other aromas. In the rose's fully opened finale it reveals the crown worn by the Savior as he walked the via dolo Rosa ( the way of the roses) to His date with God the Father. The red of His precious blood displayed in the color of the rose. His crown of thorns pricked that perfect skin releasing the droplets of the precious liquid of life-giving power. We give the rose, the perfect symbol of the precious love, never to be given lightly, or in vain; truly the symbol of real unconditional LOVE.
WHY? Why did this happen we ask ? Where was God?
God does not make these bad things happen. The evil people in this world do. What God will do is hear our cry then send his angels to put their arms around us and carry us home. Where there is no more sadness or pain. Where we are promised everlasting life. As God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. John 3:16
Time To Let Go!
If I could stop my heart from loving you, I would be free from all of this pain. Knowing no matter how much I love you, It won't bring you home again.
I have done everything that I know how, to show my love and devotion to you. But it isn't enough, I couldn't make it right, so I'm now left, with nothing that I can do.
There was a time when I thought I could; guess it was only an illusion in my mind. As I had held onto any glimmer of hope, It was justice I wanted to find.
But a time comes when you have to let go, because what I wanted can never be. And now, with great sadness in my heart, I know the time to let go has come for me.
I Love you Reny From your Aunt
PLEASE SIGN OUR GUESTBOOK BELOW! THIS LETS US KNOW YOU WERE HERE. YOUR LETTERS ARE WELCOME.
THIS CASE HAS NEVER BEEN SOLVED. Corinna did not like what was going on. She knew about the drugs and wanted this to stop. She knew too much. Making this a threat to some people. The person's responsible for taking Reny from us, were never held responsible for their involvement. The family sought every lead. There was one police officer, who helped in the investigation. He was the only one that helped to find evidence against the killers. He worked 2 years and 10 months on the case. His evidence was never examined. He resigned from the Muhlenburg County Sheriff's Dept. Because of no cooperation from the Sheriff and Prosecuting Attorney. The family would like to thank him for his dedication and hard work he put into this case. Most of all for his honesty. Terry Arnett God Bless You!
But are the killers really free? We know God does not approve of killing. As scripture tells us. We must trust, and have faith in God, and pray. For if it be His will, justice is done. In His name.
Grief is powerful thing. It is a good thing, a healing thing. It's a way to let go of the pain. But it is something to go through. Not hold on to.
