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.

Dear Heidi and Family,

As I search for the right things to say at this most difficult time, I wish there was more that could be said to relieve you of some of your grief.

I'm deeply sorry for you, and for this loss to your family. My most heartfelt prayers go out to you all. I'll always remember your mom's smile and laughter that we so often shared during shift change.

I remember how excited she was to find out that you were going to make her a Nana; we laughed and teased each other about how old we were getting. We really enjoyed talking about our children and grandchildren.

Once again I offer my most sincere condolences. May you find strength from those around you, and in the knowledge that God cares about you deeply, and weeps with you.

God Bless you. I am praying for your Peace, Comfort and Hope, and share in your loss.

Casey was a Kind and Caring Friend.

In Sympathy,

I keep thinking I will see her in the bathroom at the start of work putting on her work boots. Its just so sad. My heart breaks for her family. I just want you to know how much she talked about you at work and how much she loved and adored you all. She was so proud of her grandson she beamed with joy when she would show new pictures and talk about him. Casey you may be gone but never forgotten. God speed to heaven and find the peace and love you have always deserved.

Our freindship was mainly in our teens as we both being free spirits running and laughing in the beautiful land called Bar Harbor.If there wasn't sand between our toes near the water there was flowers in our hair running across the park.
Life was too short for you my friend and the end of your journey was very sad, i am so sorry for that.It just breaks my heart.
I am so happy we bumped into each other again a few years ago and our smiles & hugs connected us yet again.I will miss you.
My thoughts and prayers to your family.

Our deepest sympathies to all of KC's family and friends. KC was a really sweet person. She often volunteered to do face painting for the kids at our GE family functions, and her table was very popular with the kids. This is such a terrible tragedy, I'm so sorry.
