Raymond Lambert

Raymond was a good friend. I am so sorry for his family's loss as I knew his heart to be a good one. He was a best friend and only confidante to someone I knew who didn't trust in anyone. He will be sadly missed. Rest in peace Frenchy. You will always live in my heart.

I was a Social Service Worker in Ottawa for some time. I recognize Raymond's smile. Even in hard times, he shared that beautiful smile freely, and used it to brighten other people's day, like a beam of God's sunshine. May God bless you in this time of sorrow. My sincere condolences.

My sincere sympathies to Diane and your family.....

My thoughts are with you...

Dear Diane. We are sorry to hear of your loss. Unfortunately we cannot attend Raymond's service but our thoughts and prayers will be with you and yours. God Bless !!

My condolences to Ray's family and friends from one of his old friends in Touraine. I only remember good times and hope that you will also.

Do not stand at my grave and weep
I am not there; I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow,
I am the diamond glints on snow,
I am the sun on ripened grain,
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awaken in the morning's hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry,
I am not there; I did not die.
"Diane when Nick Chitovas passed, Jill read this poem and I found comfort in these words! I hope you do also! xoxoxo
Rest in Peace Raymond. xoxoxoxox Syndyxoxoxox

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.
