A Letter from Evan

To my dearest family. some things I'd like to say
But first of all. to It you know, 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."

Corrections

• The obituary for Frances Bloom
(May 5) should have indicated that
she is survived by her sister, Phyllis
Abel of West Bloomfield.
• The obituary for Pearl Brooks
(May 5) should have indicated that
she was the mother of the late
Lynda Brooks.

When you think of my life on earth. and 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 wouldn't understand.

But one thing is for certain. though my life is over.
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 in pain:
Then you can say to God at night.."My day was not in vain."

And now I am content...that my life was worthwhile.
Knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

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 its time For you to go...From that body to be free.
Remember you're not going...you're coming here to me.

Evan
Tyler.
