With strength, you fought. With love, you conquered. With faith, you thought. With wisdom, you offered...though your days were numbered, they were cherished the most. With my heart in mind, I post....I post the feelings, the hurt I felt...the strength that you grasped but still felt wasn't held. Little did you know, your courage was shown...with ever breath you took, it was a stride of strength grown. Grown in wisdom, in knowledge, in pain and light. Though physically you felt drained, internally you would fight...that fight kept you going though in relief you slowered the pace...there was nothing left but a life left with timing and space. You look up and see beauty in your daughter and son. You praise God for all that He has done. You love what he has brought them to become. You close your eyes sneaking one last tear knowing that now sleep would be nothing else to fear...your peace starts here. (Exhale) love you :-) -CW-

All our sympathy to Larry and family. Lennard took the time to stop by our house and offer condolences on the death of our mom a little over a year ago. What a nice guy. He was always glad to see you. May God bless him and strengthen the family in the coming days.
