I have many fond memory of Barbara. She was a very special lady and will be missed. Though words cant ease your sorrow, hearts can share your loss. The following poem is one I so love; I wanted to share.
We Remember Them
In the rising of the sun and its going down,
We remember them;
In the blowing wind and in the chill of winter,
We remember them;
In the opening of buds and in the rebirth of spring,
We remember them;
In the warmth of the sun and the peace of summer,
We remember them;
In the rustling of the leaves and the beauty of
Autumn,
We remember them;
In the beginning of the year and when it ends,
We remember them:
When we are weary and in need of strength,
We remember them;
When we are lost and sick at heart,
We remember them;
When we have joys we yearn to share,
We remember them;
So long as we live, they too shall live,
For they are now a part of us,
As we remember them.
Thinking of you and wishing you peace.
With Sympathy
God Bless
