Donna, Tom and family, My heart and prayers are with you.

Her Journey's Just Begun
Don't think of her as gone away,
her journey's just begun,
Life holds so many facets,
this earth is only one,
Just think of her as resting,
from the sorrows and the tears,
In a place of warmth and comfort,
where there are no days or years,
Think how she must be wishing,
that we could know today,
How nothing but our sadness,
can really pass away,
And think of her as living,
in the hearts of those she touched,
For nothing loved is ever lost,
and she was loved so much.

Nancy, loved her family very much. She would look forward to going camping and tell the stories afterwards. This past year she told me she was skiping the camping to go to all of the open houses that were going to be happening. All of this she would speak with that smile of her's. I'll be missing that smile each morining and talking about the word of the day with her. Andy Smith friend at MPA
