DEATH IS NOTHING AT ALL
Written by Henry Scott Holland
Death is nothing at all.
I have only slipped away to the next room. I am I and you are you.
Whatever we were to each other, That, we still are.
Call me by my old familiar name.
Speak to me in the easy way which you always used.
Put no difference into your tone.
Wear no forced air of solemnity or sorrow.
Laugh as we always laughed at the little jokes we enjoyed together.
Play, smile, think of me. Pray for me.
Let my name be the household word that it always was.
Let it be spoken without effect.
Without the trace of a shadow on it.
Life means all that it ever meant.
It is the same that it ever was.
There is absolute unbroken continuity.
Why should I be out of mind, because I am out of sight?
I am but waiting for you.
For an interval.
Somewhere. Very near.
Just around the corner.
All is well.

My deepest sympathy to you, Geri, Sandie, Jeff, Myles and Jarrod. It's so tough losing a loved one, especially a spouse or parent. I commiserate with you and am available to you always. All my love,

Dear Aunt Geri and Cousin Sandie, Jeff, Myles and Jarrod,
Our sincerest, heartfelt thoughts and prayers for all of you. May the Lord Jesus Christ bring you a peace and comfort that only He can give. We love you all so much!!
My special memory is - Uncle Bill would always tease me about being such a colicky baby (for 6 months) with me screaming at the top of my lungs. It sure broke him in by the time Sandie was born!
Your family means so much to us! Love and Prayers, Janine, John, Scott, Sheri, Jim, Daniell, Johnny, Sharon, Mikayla and Grandma June

Sandie,
I can't imagine what you are going through. My prayers are with you, your Mom and of course Jeff, Myles and Jarrod. One of my memories of your Dad is that he was our softball couch growing up. I am always here for you day or night. Love ya, Mary XOXO
