My dear Uncle Dick,
Sending prayers your way, especially today, after the 1st Anniversary of our dear Aunt Audrey's passing.
I can still see her smile, if for awhile, in my mind's eye, and will keep her memory alive in my heart forever.
May her soul fly with the Archangels and live in everlasting Peace with our dear Lord and Savior Jesus.
My heartfelt thoughts, prayers, and love, reach out to all my family and their friends who had the pleasure of knowing her.
My spiritual Gift of Love and comfort to all of you can be seen in my original poem, entitled,
"The Voice Within".
The Voice Within
by Jill (Bohlen) Coulthard
Oh, Charmed One,
whose soul sparkles
like the sun kissed dew.
Keep on your Path,
for you have learned tenderness,
from hard, trodden pathways,
and compassion
from well fought failures.
Let not your heart be troubled
by the challenges of Man,
But heed 'The Voice Within"
and follow
the Gateway
to Your Fortress.
......................................................................................
May God Bless You, Guide You, and give you Peace.
In Memory of our dear Aunt Audrey on the 1st Anniversary of her passing.,
