    Marilyn & family;
    Our thoughts, prayers and best wishes go to you all in this most dark time. In the midst of this pain, when a loved one leaves this world, the emotions and feelings are real and raw. It’s never easy. Its never simple. Yet, in the love of God, it is something with which we can cope. Blessing and peace.

    Dear Marilyn,
    I was saddened to learn of your dear Bob’s death. I know he has struggled greatly with health issues over the past few years and you have been so good to him. My thoughts and prayers are with you at this difficult time. I wish I could be there Thursday too, but another commitment that I cannot change prevents me from being at the service. However, know that I am with you in spirit and sending you lots of healing wishes for you and your family,
    love and blessings,
    Sheila

    Tis only we who grieve
    Dad did not leave
    He is not gone
    He looks upon us still
    He walks among the valleys now
    He strides upon the hill
    His smile is in the summer sky
    His grace is in the breeze
    His memories whisper in the grass
    His calm is in the trees
    His light is in the winter snow
    His tears are in the rain
    His merriment runs in the brook
    His laughter in the lane
    His gentleness is in the flowers
    His sigh in autumn leaves
    Dad did not leave
    He is not gone
    Tis only we who grieve

    If only we could see the splendour of the land
    To which Dad was called from you and me
    We’d understand
    If only we could hear the welcome Dad received
    From old familiar voices – all so dear
    We would not grieve
    If only we could know the reason why Dad went
    We’d smile and wipe away the tears that flow
    And wait – content.
