TONY'S JOURNEY HAS JUST BEGUN

Don't think of Tony as gone away;

his journey's just begun.

Life holds so many facets;

this earth is only one!

Just think of Tony as resting

from the sorrows and the tears'

In a place of warmth and comfort

where there are no days or years.

Just think how he must be wishing

that we could know today,

Nothing but our sadness can really

pass away!

Just think of him as living in the hearts of those he touched,

For nothing LOVED IS EVER LOST

and he was LOVED SOOOO VERY MUCH.

Love & Prayers

WHEN TOMORROW STARTS WITHOUT ME..............

When tomorrow starts without me ,

And I'm not there to see .

If the sun should rise and find your eyes ,

All filled with tears for me.

I wish so much you wouldn't cry ,

The way you did today.

While thinking of the many things ,

We didn't get to say.

I know how much you love me ,

As much as I love you.

And each time that you think of me ,

I know you'll miss me too .

But when tomorrow starts without me ,

Please try to understand .

That an angel came and called my name,

And took me by the hand .

And said my place was ready ,

In heaven far above .

And that I'd have to leave behind ,

All those I dearly love .

But when I walked through heaven's gates ,

I felt so much at home .

When God looked down and smiled at me ,

From His great golden throne ,

He said "This is eternity

And all I've promised you" ,

Today for life on earth is past

But here it starts anew .

I promise no tomorrow ,

For today will always last.

And since each day's the same way ,

There's no longing for the past .

So when tomorrow starts without me ,

Don't think we're far apart.

For every time you think of me ,

I'm right here in your heart.

Janie,

If only I knew the right words to say, to encourage and bless you or comfort some way. I know not the words but this I can do, I shall offer up prayers to the Father for you.

John,

May God's light and truth lead you into His dwelling place. Remember, that He sends more grace when the burdens are greater, more strength as the labors increase. He adds his mercy to our added afflictions and multiplied peace to the multiplied trials. Go through the proper mourning process, pour your thoughts out to him until you are exhausted, wait patiently for an answer and allow His Spirit to refresh your spirit with New Stories concerning these real facts of sadness! Remember, we usually live with the stories we tell about the facts! We can't change the facts that Juan is having a "Blessed Picnic" in that special place that Jesus had prepared in the Father's Bosom. However, allow the Spirit to add new meaning to the stories we shall tell about Juan. Why? Because his "Care's are all past, he's home at last, ever to rejoice!" Remain faithful and look forward to meeting him in the air. Even so, come Lord and deliver us all form this pollution of sin!

Janie, Joanie, Michael and Scooter,

It seems like yesterday that we were at Tony and Janie's wedding. It was such a wonderful day! I came with Tracy Steele and his children and everyone made me feel like family. We still have the pictures from that day. Please remember that all of us love you very much and are with you in spirit, although we are far away.

GOD HAS GIVEN US SO MANY BLESSINGS, YET LEFT US WITH SO MANY QUESTION. OUR HEARTS RACE WITH THE JOY OF OUR BLESSINGS, THEN WE SLOW DOWN AND HANG OUR HEADS WITH THE QUESTIONS OF WHY.

KEEP YOUR HEAD TO THE SKY, YOUR PACE STEADY, AND GOD WILL ANSWER YOUR QUESTION OF...WHY?
