'Relatives and friends, I have left you, but my last breath has not said ‘goodbye', for my love for you is truly timeless, beyond the touch of death. I leave myself to your memory, with love.
I leave my thoughts, my laughter, my dreams to whom I have treasured beyond gold and precious gems. I give you what no thief can steal, the memories of our times together: the tender, love-filled moments, the successes we have shared, the hard times that brought us closer together and the roads we have walked side by side.
I also leave you a solemn promise that after I am home in the bosom of God, I will still be present, whenever and wherever you call on me. My energy will be drawn to you by the magnet of our love. Whenever you are in need, call me: I will come to you with my arms full of wisdom and light to open up your blocked paths, to untangle your knots and to be your avenue to God.
And all I take with me as I leave is your love and the millions of memories of all that we have shared. So I truly enter my new life as a millionaire. Fear not nor grieve at my departure, you whom I have loved so much, for my roots and yours are forever intertwined.'Edward Hays
