Letter from Marnie
(Marnie was Mom's neighbor at Lima
Estates)
Dear Children of Marjorie,
A new angel has arrived at heaven's gates and is
being received with joy. How could it be otherwise? Such
a sweet, gentle spirit, who gladdened our hearts, can do no less
there.
The news that Marjorie has left us came as a great
shock to all of us. Although we know that it is part of life
here, in some cases the suddenness is overwhelming. What we
need to remember is how blessed we have been to know the one who has
gone.
I like to use a butterfly notepaper when writing a
note such as this because butterflies somehow symbolize immortality
to me -- emerging as they do from a colorless cocoon to be something
of great beauty. Your mother's spirit, while in her case was
beautiful here, is much more so now.
The enclosed thought was copied from a scrapbook of
writings collected by my mother. This one may be of some
comfort to you.
Deepest sympathy and love,
Marnie
God's Hand
(Believed to be by Robert E. Selle)
Think of stepping on shore
And finding it heaven! Of
taking hold of a hand
And finding it God's hand! Of
breathing a new air
And finding it celestial air!
Of feeling invigorated
And finding it immortality!
Of waking and knowing
"I am home." |
