lOVED ONES RMAIN WITH US GIBBON
August 2, 2007
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.

In My Pocket
I have memories in my pocket.
They rattle among the change.
My memories of you are treasures I carry wherever I go.
They are stored in bits and pieces, parts of a beautiful whole
They give me comfort when I think I am alone.
Yes, I have memories in my pocket, like so much other stuff I keep there.
But of all the treasures I have, it’s the memories of you that are the most precious.

Dear Dan;
May God Bless you and your family at this time. My family and I can not express the sympathy we feel for you at this time. or the regret we feel for only getting to meet your wife one or two times. I tried many times to write this but could never find the right words to say, but today is a special day and the words came easy.
It took you so long to find the love of your life only to loose her so soon and so tragically that we can not image your pain. I can surely say for me just how ironic your wife was to pass of the same tragic disease my sister Jenny died from just two years ago on my sisters Birthday July 14 th (1954). Lately you have walked the street that you and my husband once grew up on and played on, in the Apron your wife made for you, with such Strength and Dignity telling our daughter funny, fond, loving memories of your wife.
Granted we can not image the pain of loosing our soul mate. Though we know we someday we will. It's not something any of us think of or want to think of. We can only feel the sarrow for as we have felt when I lost my sister to cancer, Or Terry's little brother Timmy's tragic death, Or the unfair unimaginable passing of little Autumn Hallett and as of late Terry's father only two days ago. Now that was definite soul mates his parents Married over 58 years.Also your parents married for so long. (I remember back to that day to. The passing of your father who was such a kind man who helped Terry and I so much when we moved on the street and began to fix up this old house) I don't know how Terry's mom will go on. I hope with the same strength as your mother. Or how you will after waiting so long to find the love of you life. ( I am also sure you will with the same strength as your mother and with all your wonderful memories) All those memories is what made today so easy to write you this and as it is also because today would have been Autumns 1st birthday today,and also only two days from Terry's dads Wake and Funeral. As you can imagen our home is filled with great sadness today and deeper still for your loss. So many people we have known and loved are gone now, but rest assure they wait for us at Heavens gate to greet us one day when it is our turn for God to call us home. Please know we are here for you always if you need to talk and our daughter will always lend an ear to listen to a funny or fond loving memory you wish to share with her about your loving wife. May God Bless and keep you in your time of need. Your are always in our thoughts and prayers.

Audreys love for her family and friends was a blessing from above. We cherish the memories we have of her and the special friendship she had with our mom Audrey Cunningham. Her generosity and thoughtfulness will be long remembered, and our hearts will be forever thankful for the love she shared with mom. Dan, our prayers are with you and trust that Audrey is in good hands with the Lord.

Dear Mr. Devine,
I have to say it, but I think you know, it was an honor for me to care for Audrey the last two years. Her smile was contagious (especially wearing her Evil Audrey hat)...not a bad thing at Roswell! To read someone say she was vivacious-how true! She was also a fighter. You took such good care of her and she was so lucky you were by her side. She is at peace now. I am so sorry I wasn't in last week to see you both. I wish you the best and will keep you and your family in my thoughts and prayers.
Fondly,
Erin Heerdt, RN

Audrey had the most "vivacious" personality and a heart of "gold". Ron and I will miss her dearly.
