Blessings to you my Dear...please know that we hold you and yours in thought and prayer this.

You are not alone. Our words of encouragement for you are like a cozy quilt warming you to the core. Our arms engulf you and sustain you on your path...this thing we call life, with all it's peaks and valleys, happy, sad. And somehow, we are grateful for it all, for without it, life would be meaningless.

Enduring Love and Support to you my Dear~

Blessings and Abundant Peace,

When my daddy died one of my friends sent this to me and made me smile. The thought of dad up there working for mother nature helped me with his passing. I hope it will do the same for you. My thoughts and prayers are with you...debbie from WV.

When somebody dies, a cloud turns into an angel, and flies up to tell God to put another flower on a pillow. A bird gives the message back to the world, and sings a silent prayer that makes the rain cry.

People disappear, but they never really go away. The spirits up there put the sun to bed,wake up grass, and spin the earth in dizzy circles.

Sometimes you can see them dancing in a cloud during the day-time, when they're supposed to be sleeping. They paint the rainbows and also the sunsets and make waves splash and tug at the tide.

They toss shooting stars and listen to wishes. And when they sing windsongs, they whisper to us,
"Dont miss me too much. The view is nice and I'm doing just fine"

...my thought and prayers are with you...debbie

Marcia,
Thank you for sharing this news with us, I had been wondering how he was doing. My thoughts continue to be with you and LM and with your entire family and I send a great cyber hug.

When my parents died not that long ago there were all the arrangements that needed doing and things to be done but then it felt like someone let the air out of a balloon and that balloon was me. It took a while before the air came back and for a while before I was ready for it to come back. If that happens to you just go with it.

Be kind to yourself and let others take care of you. What needs to happen will and what can wait can wait.

Take care,
Jeff

Dear Marcia,
I know your dad was 96 and his health was not good, but you must miss him so. I am sorry for your loss. Remember that he still loves you, just from another world.
God bless,
Barbara
