Mark Dawson Obituary

To the Dawson family I feel your pain but God took back what was his to let him rest from his labor. Rev. Dawson has left this world but has not left our hearts. any old friend Ernestine Powell

To The Dawson Family,



I just want you to know that even though we're not there physically our heart felt sympathy goes out to you and you're in our prayers. Always remember that Earth has no sorrow that heaven can not heal.

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that 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'm 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."

God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all 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.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
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 pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
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 it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

In My Pocket

I have memories in my pocket.
They rattle among the change.

My memories of you are treasures I carry wherever I go.

They are stored in bits and pieces, parts of a beautiful whole
They give me comfort when I think I am alone.

Yes, I have memories in my pocket, like so much other stuff I keep there.

But of all the treasures I have, it’s the memories of you that are the most precious.

You are in my thoughts and prayers.

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

KNOW YE THAT HE IS GOD AND HE MAKES NO MISTAKE. FOR HE COMES AND CARRY ONLY HIS OWN WHO IS READY. FOR HE HAS NO MORE WORRIES, NO MORE PAIN, NO MORE SICKNESS AND EVERYDAY WILL BE SUNDAY FOR HIM NOW. THRUST IN THE LORD AND ALL WILL BE OKAY. OUR PRAYERS ARE WITH YOU AND THE FAMILY AT THESE TIME OF SADNESS. WE PRAY THAT GOD WILL GIVE YOU AND THE FAMILY STRENGTH TO CARRY ON FROM THIS DAY ON. GOD BLESS YOU ALL.
