Beth,

I can't imagine your sorrow. I wanted you to know we were thinking of you. When Charles called, my mind went to Stephanie's wedding in Richmond and what fun Robert was having laughing and dancing. He certainly put smiles on a lot of faces and will be missed. Hang in there! We Abernathys love you all!

They say "life goes on"--
just give yourself time
to mourn and accept
and to heal,

Though none of that offers
much comfort right now
with the sorrow and loss
you must feel...

But deep in your heart
if you trust and believe
that memories and love
never cease,

You'll find God is waiting
and wants nothing more
than to offer you
comfort and peace
