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 as I turned to walk away,
A tear fell from my eye,
For all my life, I’d always thought,
I didn’t want to die.
I had so much to live for,
So much yet to do,
It seemed almost impossible,
That I was leaving you.

I thought of all the yesterdays,
The good ones and the bad,
I thought of all the love we shared,
And all the fun we had.

If I could relive yesterday,
Just even for awhile,
I’d say good-bye and kiss you
And maybe see you smile.
But then I fully realized,
That this could never be
For emptiness and memories,
Would take the place of me.

And when I thought of worldly things,
I might miss come tomorrow,
I thought of you, and when I did,
My heart was filled with sorrow.
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,
But today will always last,
And since each day’s the same way
There’s no longing for the past.
But you have been so faithful,
So trusting and so true.
Though there were times you did some things,
You knew you shouldn’t do,
But you have been forgiven
And now at last you’re free.
So won’t you take my hand
And share my life with me?

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.

Dear Ross and family, Debbie will be sadly missed at our work. She was a very kind, considerate and loving person. Debbie shared her expertise and love of wines with me at work. It was an honor to have known her. Your family are in our thoughts and our prayers. Best Regards, Tom Myles Laser Sales

Deb and Ross are our neighbors. They were the first to welcome us to our new home and have become good friends. We’ve had many laughs and great conversations with both of them over the years and we are deeply saddened by the loss of such a wonderful and loving person. Our heart breaks for Ross and his family as they go through this difficult time. Deb will truly be missed by our whole family. Sending love and healing prayers to help all that loved Deb to get through this hard time.
Rob, Natalie, Kennedy and Layla Cramer.

Debra was not only a co worker, I also considered her a warm hearted friend, she will be missed, but never forgotten. My heart felt condolences and prayers go out to the family during their time of grief.

It was my pleasure knowing Debbie over many years ,through my friendship with her sister in law Marg.Such a loss to Ross, her daughters and the whole family.My sincere condolences to all of you. Joan and family

We were so saddened to hear of Deb’s passing. As one of my mother’s dearest friends, we know there have been many wonderful moments shared. Our condolences to the Horton Family.

Debbie was our dear friend, as well as our co-worker, for 10 years! During our time together, the three of us were the “Glasgow Girls” and we shared many moments of laughter, tears of joy and sorrow, and lots of hard work.
We will miss her deeply.

The Lord has taken another kind and wonderful hearted woman home to be with him. Her suffering is over but our hearts are filled with such sorrow because we loved and are missing her very much. May the Lord wrap his loving arms around the family and care for them through this time and when they are reminded of her only let them feel the joy and love she gave them all. May God Bless as you go forward in life.

Dear Ross…I am so sorry for your loss of Debbie…she really was a very special lady. She will be missed.

There is a miracle called Friendship that dwells within the heart and you don’t know how it happens or when it even starts. But the happiness it brings you always gives a special lift and you realize that Friendship is God’s most precious gift.

Debbie received me into the family like I was her own son. I will always remember her laugh and her smile. And the great memories we have shared. She was an inspiration to all my kids her grand babies as she liked to call them. And an inspiration to me how she lived her life to the fullest. I remember a time where I did not call her when one the the grand children was hurt and had to go to hospital. Well always called after that. She’s an amazing woman and I will miss her her very very very much. Love you Debbie I never said it enough.

Ross, Jen and Janine, my heart goes out to you. Such a beautiful woman both inside and out. She will never be forgotten. Love you
