Rick, Anne and Families...
I remember Mrs. Boucher as a mentor and fine debater of the issues of the day. Our shared meals with the "lunch crowd" at Abingdon's Empire Restaurant were the highlight of many a day. After my retirement from daily business, my too few chats and visits with her were always pleasant. She kept that same twinkle and competitive energy that made her so special. Although I am many miles away....I share in your loss and celebrate her life.

Congressman Boucher and Family,
Doug and I extend our deepest sympathy to you during the great loss of your mother. A mother is the most precious person in your life and the hardest to give up. Keep the wonderful memories you have of her in your hearts and she will live on with you forever. Trust God to give you the strength you need during this time of sorrow. Our prayers are for your peace and comfort.
With love and sympathy,

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.

As the first female in Virginia nominated for a position on the Supreme Court of Virginia, you took the nomination as both an intellectual opportuity and fun adventure. I was lucky enough to be invited to the hearings with you and other friends.
You treated us to a lobster dinner at Byrams after the day was over and it was evident that you had enjoyed the entire day of grilling and answering.
Your effervescent personality shone like the sun from the first time I met you in 1957 and Anne became my childhood playmate all over Plum Alley.
My parents and I have more than a million memories tied to living next door to your family for more than a half century.
Your kindnesses to us will never be equalled and family events sharing those driveways will not be again.
Godspeed you until one day we can share spirits again.
Much love,
Joyce

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."
It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.
