I know what you are feeling. I lost my neice at a early age...May the lord walk you this this very hard time in your life here is a poem for you and your Family...



Weep not for me



From an Angel on high

a tender message of love was softly whispered into the ear

of this humble scribe....



Weep not for me

now that I have passed.

Remember the laughter, the affection, the joy

not just the recent tears.

Cherish the memories, our hopes and dreams.

Hold fast to the love that we shared.

Be happy with the time we spent together

and being anew.

For I am not really gone,

I am closer than ever before.

As the morning sun rises

and throughout the busy day...I am with you.

Until the setting sun disappears on the horizon

and we watch the day turn into night...I am here.

You may feel a faint breeze stir round your head, while you slumber

as I gently kiss your forehead, "Good night."

The stars that shine so brightly in my heavenly sky

help me watch over you and keep you from harm.

I am the wind in the trees

and the song of a bird.

I am moonbeams in a midnight sky

and a glorious rainbow after the storm.

I am morning dew

and freshly-fallen snow.

I am a butterfly flying overhead

and a puppy happily at play.

I am a smile on a stranger's face

a gentle touch

a warm embrace.

Listen to the wind for my message of love.

Watch the sun rise and set in the sky with me.

Feel my essence encircle you with warm memories.

Open your heart to know...I am not gone.

Reach deep into your soul...You will find me.

I am here.

Have no fear.

I am with you,

Always.

Keri and Family,

I was deeply saddened to hear of Anna's passing. Always remember "to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord". Anna is at peace in the arms of "The Father" now... where there is no pain nor sorrow. "May the peace of God which passes all understanding, keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus".

God Bless you with only that which His peace can bring.

Yet I only spent a small amount of time with Anna, she was a beautiful, smart and extremely courageous little girl. She fought a tough battle as did you and Joey right along side of her. May Anna's soul find some much needed peace. I love you McGuire. Take care of Jake and Joey
