Colleen - I am so sorry for your loss -there are no words that I can said to ease your grief at this time.
People pass on, but Rick memories will live in your heart forever.
Missing You Always
You never said I'm leaving
You never said goodbye
You were gone before we knew it
And only God knows why.
A million times I needed you
A million times I cried
If love alone could have saved you
You never would have died.
In life I loved you dearly
In death I love you still
In my heart I hold a place
that only you can fill
I am a Mom of an Angel

My thoughts and prayers are with you all. Love is stronger than death even though it can't stop death from happening, but no matter how hard death tries it can't separate people from love. It can't take away our memories either. In the end, life is stronger than death.

My Mom is a survivor, or so I've heard it said.
But I hear her crying at night when all others are in bed.
I watch her lay awake at night and go to hold her hand.
She doesn't know I'm with her to help her understand.
But like the sands on the beach that never wash away...
I watch over my surviving mom, who thinks of me each day.
She wears a smile for others, a smile of disguise.
But through Heaven's door I see tears flowing from her eyes.
My mom tries to cope with death to keep my memory alive.
But anyone who knows her knows it is her way to survive.
As I watch over my surviving mom... Through Heaven's open door.
I try to tell her that angels protect me forever more.
But I know that doesn't help her or ease the burden she bears.
So if you get a chance, go visit her and show her that you care.
For no matter what she says...no matter what she feels.
My surviving mom has a broken heart that time won't ever heal!

I don't know how to go on without you.
