Ms. Angelia Mercer

I Made It Home

I just wanted to let you know 

that I made it home.
The journey wasn’t an easy one, 

but it didn’t take too long. 

Everything is so pretty here, 

so white, so fresh and new.
I wish that you all could close your eyes and that you could see it too.

Please try not to be sad for me. 

Try to understand
God is taking care of me… 

I’m in the shelter of His hands.

Here, there is no sadness, 

no sorrow, and no pain.
Here, there is no crying,

 and I’ll never hurt again.

Here, it is so peaceful, 

when all the angels sing.
I really have to go for now… 

I’ve just got to try my wings.

It is with profound sorrow, that the Owners, Management and Staff at Gatlin Mortuary, Inc. stand alongside the Mercer Family to announce the transition of their beloved:
