Remembering You

Remembering you every day has not been hard.

The town is small and I catch glimpses of children and see people we saw every day.

You are in a better place and resting place. God is looking after you. HEAVEN!

Today is your one year's anniversary. And time has really flown. It is difficult for all of you left here to still accept your leaving us. But we have to come to terms with it.


Let me share some verses with you.


Don't walk in front of me, I may not follow.
Don't walk behind me, I may not lead
Walk beside me, and just be my friend.
a beautiful song by Dick Brice called Benjamin Thomas

A real friend is one who walks in when the rest of the world walks out.

(Walter Winchell 1879-1972)

Angels lift us to our feet when our wings have trouble
remembering how to fly
(C.....) you've been an angel
Such support, an aide, a crutch
A friend, not just in fair weather but foul
And I'm grateful ever so much

Faithful, kind and always true
Reassuring through and through
Insightful in your wise advice
Enthusiastic, sweet and nice
Noted for your smiling face
Dear friend, no one could take your place




Oh the comfort,the inexpressible
Comfort of feeling safe with friends
Having neither to weigh
Thoughts, nor measured words,
But to pour them all out


Just as they are
Chaff and grain together
Knowing that a faithful hand
Will take and sift them,
Keeping what is worth keeping
and then with a breath of kindness
Blow the rest away







What a lovely thing it is
To have a loyal friend
Someone who understands us
On whom we can depend
A friend who sees and knows
Our faults
And likes us anyway
And never seems to take offence
At anything we say
Who helps us through our troubles
Stands by us in our needs
Such friendship transcends
Barriers of colour race and creed
For friendship is a precious gift
And we should always treasure
The ones who share our grief
Our joy
Our heartache and our pleasure


May God bless you.
