Dear friend, you cannot fathom
The love I had for you
You always gave compassion
To everyone you knew.
Your heart was full of kindness
Your soul was filled with peace
Your faith could not be shaken
Your light will never cease.
Your joy flowed like a fountain
Refreshing everyday
So clean, so pure, so simple
Like rain that falls in May.
Your smile was like the sunshine
As fresh as any flower
A heart as big as Texas
As steady as a tower.
You praised God for each hour
For each and every day
You lived life to its fullness
And took the time to pray.
So many acts of kindness
You spread throughout the year
A hug was always waiting
For those that you held dear.
You had a love for babies
And fuzzy kittens too
Unending love for family
And special friendships, too
A husband, son and sisters
Just to name a few
So many other people
Now miss you like I do.
No longer do your emails
Come to my screen each day
Through all those years of writing
We always
found a way.
You traveled through the valleys
Your eyes fixed on the sky
Like Job found in the Bible
You never questioned why.
God took you to His mansion
What rejoicing
there must be
When He took away your cancer
And He set your spirit
free.

God
Bless
my
Sister-In-Christ.
We
all
experience
the
death
of
our
loved
one's
while
we
are
here
on
Earth.
Therefore
we
may
take
comfort
in
knowing
that
they
are
now
with
God,
if
they
were
saved.
For
it
is
written
that
when
we
die;
Then
the
dust
will
return
to
the
Earth
as
it
was,
and
the
spirit
will
return
to
God
who
gave
it.
Ecclesiastes 12:7
So,
take
comfort
in
knowing
you
will
see
them
again,
for
it
isn't
the
end
of
them
but
only
the
beginning!
The
beginning
of
a
much
better
life
where;
God
will
wipe
away
every
tear
from
their
eyes;
there
shall
be
no
more
death,
nor
sorrow,
nor
crying.
There
shall
be
no
more
pain,
for
the
former
things
have
passed
away.
Revelation 21:4
Now
if
you
have
just
experienced
the
loss
of
a
loved
one,
the
following
message
is
for
you!
It
has
ministered
to
many
and
I
pray
that
it
will
help
you
as
well.
Further,
if
you
haven't
experienced
that
loss,
perhaps
you
know
someone
who
has
and
would
appreciate
receiving
it.
If
so,
please
feel
free
to
share
this
page
with
them!
Those
who
have
passed
away,
and
also
remember
that
those
who
were
saved
are
now . . .
"SAFELY
HOME"
I
am
home
in
Heaven,
dear
ones;
Oh,
so
happy
and
so
bright!
There
is
perfect
joy
and
beauty
In
this
everlasting
light.
All
the
pain
and
grief
is
over,
Every
restless
tossing
passed;
I
am
now
at
peace
forever,
Safely
home
in
Heaven
at
last.
Did
you
wonder
I
so
calmly
Trod
the
valley
of
the
shade?
Oh!
But
Jesus'
love
illumined
Every
dark
and
fearful
glade.
And
He
came
Himself
to
meet
me
In
that
way
so
hard
to
tread;
And
with
Jesus'
arm
to
lean
on,
Could
I
have
one
doubt
or
dread?
Then
you
must
not
grieve
so
sorely,
For
I
love
you
dearly
still:
Try
to
look
beyond
earth's
shadows,
Pray
to
trust
our
Father's
Will.
There
is
work
still
waiting
for
you,
So
you
must
not
idly
stand;
Do
it
now,
while
life
remaineth,
You
shall
rest
in
Jesus'
land.
When
that
work
is
all
completed,
He
will
gently
call
you
Home;
Oh,
the
rapture
of
that
meeting,
Oh,
the
joy
to
see
you
come!
