Just a little note to tell you i sure miss going to your house for coffee 5 days a week....it sure was hard after you left us...i was really lost mom, cause usually right as soon as i send my kids to school i would walk to the corner to get the bus...you and dad usually watched for me coming threw the lane way & pour my coffee for me.....mom the way you left us so suddenly  i had nightmares for a good 5 years...i can still hear you asking me to get your purse  you wanted me to stop in at bins & bins to get you a few spices...then all of a sudden you said you were so dizzy ,,,i ran to the sink to get a face cloth to wipe your face  but when i seen you take 3 big breath  mom i knew you were gone ...i phone the ambulance right away but it was to late..i then phone the hospital in dad's room & told janet & noella to come home right away ...that i think you were dead ...

Hi Memere,

Just thought I'd say hello again as I often do.

I miss you alot. I'm getting married again. I finally

found my best friend and promise to be good to him.

He's my beacon and has changed my life in so many ways.

He's a wonderful man and has a gentle soul.

I learned of the following Poem back in 2000 when I was going through some tough times...I read it often....It really inspires me at times...Say hello to everyone up there for me.

Love you and miss you tons and gobs!

After a while you learn
the subtle difference between
holding a hand and chaining a soul
and you learn
that love doesn't mean leaning
and company doesn't always mean security.
And you begin to learn
that kisses aren't contracts
and presents aren't promises
and you begin to accept your defeats
with your head up and your eyes ahead
with the grace of woman, not the grief of a child
and you learn
to build all your roads on today
because tomorrow's ground is
too uncertain for plans
and futures have a way of falling down
in mid-flight.
After a while you learn
that even sunshine burns
if you get too much
so you plant your own garden
and decorate your own soul
instead of waiting for someone
to bring you flowers.
And you learn that you really can endure
you really are strong
you really do have worth
and you learn
and you learn
with every goodbye, you learn...

Don't grieve for me, for now I am free
I'm following the path God laid for me.

I took his hand when I heard his call
I turned my back and left it all.

I could not stay another day
To laugh, to love, to work or play.

Tasks left undone must stay that way,
I found the peace at close of day.

If my parting has left a void,
Then fill it with remembered joy.

A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss,
Ah yes, these things I too will miss.

Be not burdened with times of sorrow,
I wish you sunshine of tomorrow.

My life's been full, I've savored much,
Good friends, good times,
a loved one's touch.

Perhaps my time seemed all to brief,
Don't lengthen it now with undue grief.

Lift up your hearts and share with me,
God wanted me now;
He has set me free.
