My deepest condolences.  May these few words from the Holy Scriptures bring you comfort in your time of grief...

John 11:32-45

32 And so Mary, when she arrived where Jesus was and caught sight of him, fell at his feet, saying to him: “Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died.” 33 Jesus, therefore, when he saw her weeping and the Jews that came with her weeping, groaned in the spirit and became troubled; 34 and he said: “Where have YOU laid him?” They said to him: “Lord, come and see.” 35 Jesus gave way to tears. 36 Therefore the Jews began to say: “See, what affection he used to have for him!” 37 But some of them said: “Was not this [man] that opened the eyes of the blind man able to prevent this one from dying?”

38 Hence Jesus, after groaning again within himself, came to the memorial tomb. It was, in fact, a cave, and a stone was lying against it.39 Jesus said: “TAKE the stone away.” Martha, the sister of the deceased, said to him: “Lord, by now he must smell, for it is four days.”40 Jesus said to her: “Did I not tell you that if you would believe you would see the glory of God?” 41 Therefore they took the stone away. Now Jesus raised his eyes heavenward and said: “Father, I thank you that you have heard me. 42 True, I knew that you always hear me; but on account of the crowd standing around I spoke, in order that they might believe that you sent me forth.” 43 And when he had said these things, he cried out with a loud voice: “Laz´a·rus, come on out!” 44The [man] that had been dead came out with his feet and hands bound with wrappings, and his countenance was bound about with a cloth. Jesus said to them: “Loose him and let him go.”

To My Beloved

I thank God you were in my life.

I will truly miss you.

This is really hard for me because, I lost a friend, my lover, and the mother of my three sons. I know we wanted to grow old together. But I know you are in no more pain and God will take good care of you now!!!

God looked around His garden,

And found an empty place.

He then looked down upon earth,

And saw your tired face.

                                                He put His arms around you,

And lifted you to rest.

God’s Garden must be beautiful,

He always takes the best.

  He saw your road was getting rough,

And the hills were to climb.

    So He closed you’re your weary eyelids,

And whispered “Peace Be Thine”.

     It broke our hearts to lose you,

 But you didn’t go alone.

For a part of us went with you,

The day God called you home.

                                                     
                                                       Your Loving Family
