You can shed tears that she is gone Or you can smile because she has lived. You can close your eyes and pray that she will come back Or you can open your eyes and see all that she has left. Your heart can be empty because you can’t see her Or you can be full of the love that you shared. You can turn your back on tomorrow and live yesterday Or you can be happy for tomorrow because of yesterday. You can remember her and only that she is gone Or you can cherish her memory and let it live on. You can cry and close your mind, be empty and turn your back Or you can do what she would want: smile, open your eyes, love and go on. You can shed tears that she is gone Or you can smile because she has lived I do not know you and you do not know me but I saw Margaret’s obituary and would like you to know that I am praying for you, her relatives and friends, at this time Please get in touch with me at [email protected] to let me know how I may pray more specifically. Thank you. Emory Ediger
Dear Marg & Bob, Julie & Mark and extended family,

Marg and Bob, so sorry to hear about your Mom. I know you will miss her terribly but she is now peacefully with her life long partner. See you Saturday. Hugs to everyone.
We were sorry to hear of your Mom’s passing. Even though it is an end to a difficult struggle, the finality is never an easy transition. We were not lucky enough to know her, but seen many pictures of the wonderful life she lived. She was such a fortunate lady to have the wonderful care, dedication and love of her family. Thinking of you, Marg & Bob, and your families.
