Dear Madeline and family,I was saddened to hear of Franks passing. My sincere sympathy for the loss of your loving husband, father, uncle and friend. I'm enclosing a poem that has helped me get through these difficult times and I pray it will do the same for you. You are all in my thoughts and prayers.~~~~~~First Christmas in HeavenI see the countless Christmas treesAround the world belowWith tiny lights, like Heaven’s stars,Reflecting on the snow.The sight is so spectacular,Please wipe away the tearFor I am spending Christmas with Jesus Christ this year.I hear the many Christmas songs That people hold so dearBut the sounds of music can’t compareWith the Christmas choir up here.I have no words to tell you,The joy their voices bringFor it is beyond description,To hear the angels sing.I know how much you miss me,I see the pain inside your heart.But I am not so far away,We really aren’t apart.So be happy for me, dear ones,You know I hold you near.And be glad I’m spending Christmas with Jesus Christ this year.I sent you each a special gift,From my heavenly home above.I sent you each a memoryOf my undying love.After all, love is a giftMore precious than pure gold.It was always most importantIn the stories that Jesus told.Please love and keep each other,As our father said to do.For I can’t count the blessingOr the love he has for you.So have a Merry ChristmasAnd wipe away that tear.Remember, I am spending ChristmasWith Jesus Christ this year.Author Unknown
