Crossing the Bar
Sunset and evening star,
And one clear call for me!
And may there be no moaning of the bar,
When I put out to sea,
But such a tide as moving seems asleep,
Too full for sound and foam,
When that which drew from out the boundless deep
Turns again home.
Twilight and evening bell,
And after that the dark!
And may there be no sadness of farewell,
When I embark;
For tho' from out our bourne of Time and Place
The flood may bear me far,
I hope to see my Pilot face to face
When I have crost the bar.

Words can not explain the pain that you are feeling. Only god knows your pain but he will give you the strength to continue. Everday will be a struggle and just as you feel that you have it under control something will remind you of her. Keep your head lifted and look toward the sky and know that she has fought a long battle and is now finally resting at piece.

Dearest Baugh family, I send to you my deepest condolences. You have been a very large part of my life since my arrival here in Petersburg, and Lizabeth has been a long time friend and "Family". Please call on me if there is anything I can do to help the family in your crisis. I will miss knowing you are not around "Liz".
