Our loss is Beth's gain. May I share something I received from a friend when my Sister passed, this will bless you as it has me and I think of Beth as I read it;
"If you could see where I have gone"
If You Could See Where I Have Gone, The Beauty Of This Place, And How It Feels To Know Your're Home, To See The Savior's Face, To Wake in Peace And Know NO Fear, Just Joy Beyond Compare, While Still On Earth You Miss Me Yet, You Wouldn't Want Me There!
If You Could See Where I Have Gone, And Made The Trip With Me, You'd Know I Didn't Go Alone, The Savior Came With Me. When I Awoke He Was By My Side And Said, As He Touched My Hand, Hurry, You're Going Home To A Grand And Glorious Land.
If You Could See Where I Have Gone, And See What I've Been Shown, You'd Never Know Another Fear, Or Ever Feel Alone. You'd Marvel At The Care Of God, His Hand On Every Life, And Realize He Really Cares And Bears With Us Each Strife. And That HE Weeps When One Is Lost, His Heart Is Filled With Pain, But Oh! The Joy When One Comes Home, A Child At Home Again.
If You Could See Where I Have Gone, Could Stay A While With Me, Could Share The Things That God Has Made, To Grace Eternity. But No, You Couldn't Ever Leave, Once Heaven's Joy You'd Known, You Couldn't Bear to Walk Earth's Paths, Once Heaven Was Your Home. If You Could See Where I Have Gone, You'd know We'll Meet Some Day, And Though I'm Parted From You Now, That I Am Just Away. And Now That I am Home With Him, Secure In Every Way, I'm Waiting Here At Heaven's Door, To Greet You Some Sweet Day.
While we all grieve at losing Beth, we will see Her again someday! For the moment, we will hold her close in our hearts and memories as we mourn.
