Do not stand at my grave and weep. Hello loved ones I'm just fine and this life really is divine. And don't worry dear friends, your loved ones are here. They are just like me - they love it up here. Kids and grandkids I love you so, but please understand I had to go. The Lord called me home, because he knew I needed rest, you see, dear children, I did my best. And please don't be sad because Jesus Himself said; "Eunice, you have passed your test." Now I have just one request before I go: Be fair, care, share, and please and thank you, to do and say. Dear loved ones, please do your best, and allow Jesus to help you pass your test.
