God has taken a bright and shinning star for his own garden in heaven. He needed her light. No one else would do. We wanted her her but God knows best. He wispered in her ear that her work is complete and time to shine for Him.

I am praying for all of you. There is nobody like Mom.

A Reminiscence

YES, thou art gone! and never more
Thy sunny smile shall gladden me;
But I may pass the old church door,
And pace the floor that covers thee.

May stand upon the cold, damp stone,
And think that, frozen, lies below
The lightest heart that I have known,
The kindest I shall ever know.

Yet, though I cannot see thee more,
'Tis still a comfort to have seen;
And though thy transient life is o'er,
'Tis sweet to think that thou hast been;

To think a soul so near divine,
Within a form so angel fair,
United to a heart like thine,
Has gladdened once our humble sphere.

To the Family:
I recently met Ms. Claytor at swimming lessons for her grandaughter. I immediately fell in love with her warm and loving personality. I know she will be greatly missed - but I also know that she is in a "Better Place" and "Better off"! Lean on Jesus He will comfort you in your time of sorrow.
