Sunrise of Life,~05-26-30~
Sunset of Life, ~12-21-11~

"Today, 12-21-11 at 12:22 p.m.,Heaven needed another angel. Rest in heavenly peace,Mom.
Until we meet again. I hold you, in gentle thought and love."


"Those we love don't go away, they walk beside us everyday. Unseen, unheard, but always near. Still missed, still loved."

"The hardest goodbye is the one that's never said."

~Perhaps they are not stars in the sky but rather openings to Heaven where loved ones shine down to let us know they are happy.~

"Her Journey's Just Begun."

Her Journey's Just Begun
Don't think of her as gone away,
her journey's just begun,
Life holds so many facets,
this earth is only one,
Just think of her as resting,
from the sorrows and the tears,
In a place of warmth and comfort,
where there are no days or years,
Think how she must be wishing,
that we could know today,
How nothing but our sadness,
can really pass away,
And think of her as living,
in the hearts of those she touched,
For nothing loved is ever lost,
and she was loved so much.

~~~~~"There are no goodbyes for us. Wherever you are, you will always be in my heart." ~~~~~

~Your Mother is always with you. She's the whisper in the leaves as you walk down the street. She's the smell of certain foods you remember and make. Flowers you pick,the fragrance of life itself. She's the cool hand on your brow, when you're are not feeling well. She's your breath on a cold winter's day. She's the sound of the rain that lulls you to sleep. She is the colors of the rainbow. She is Christmas morning. She's lives inside of you. She's in your laughter. She's the place you came from, your first home, and she's the map you follow with most of your steps, you take. She's your first love, she's your first friend, even your first enemy,but nothing on earth can separate you not time, not space.....not even death.~

~God's garden~

~God looked around his garden
and he found an empty place.
And then he looked down upon the earth,
and saw your tired face.
He put his arms around you,
and lifted you to rest.
God's garden must be beautiful,
he always takes the best.
He knew that you were suffering,
he knew you were in pain,
he knew that you would never
get well on earth again.
He saw the road was getting rough,
and the hills were hard to climb,
so he closed your weary eyelids,
and whispered "peace be thine."
It broke our hearts to lose you.
But you didn't go alone,
for part of us went with you,
the day God called you home.~
