Within
this lovely garden
Waves of beauty flow
Magnificence and elegance
In velvet row by row
Flowers scented perfume
Wafting through the air
Sending you a fragrance
That follows everywhere
Colors that are vibrant
Light up the world above
Reflecting all the glory of
God's precious smile of love
Garden of all loveliness
Within this artist's eyes
Creating special masterpiece
Of home within the sky.

The Memory Of Me
I'd like the memory of me to be a happy one.
I'd like to leave an afterglow of smiles when life is done.
I'd like to leave an echo whispering softly down the ways,
of happy times, and laughing times, and bright and sunny days.
I'd like the tears of those who grieve to dry
before the sun of happy memories I leave when life is done.

I Have A Place In Heaven
Please don't sing sad songs for me,
Forget your grief and fear,
For I am in a perfect place
Away from pain and tears...
It's far away from hunger
And hurt and want and pride,
I have a place in Heaven
With the Master at my side.
My life on earth was very good,
As earthly life can go,
But Paradise is so much more
Than anyone can know...
My heart is filled with happiness
And sweet rejoicing, too.
To walk with God is perfect peace,
A joy forever new.

Thoughts for my Best Friend
I have had the special fortune of establishing wonderful relationships with Loreeta's family and siblings. Her sisters and brother are all such wonderful and sincere individuals. Her parents emulate the power of strength, love, compassion, caring, and being very supportive. Does it suprise me then that Loreeta would be the way she is? Absolutely not. I have seen so much of Claire and her father in Loreeta, their first born.
I was greatly saddened when in January of 2002 Loreeta's mother passed away. Loreeta was not able to be with your mother when she left this world, and I was not there when Loreeta heard the news that her mother had passed away. In fact, I never got to see Loreeta till the day of the funeral. I felt so helpless; and I struggled as I watched my best friend deal with her mother's death. To me Loreeta possess's such an abundance of strength and character and yet during this time she was the pillar for her family, children, and friends. It was difficult for me to see her say goodbye to her mother. My heart literally ached, it felt like an enormous weight was pulling me down and I couldn't lift it up. I wanted to say the right words, do the right things, wanted to share the tremendous pain and sadness my best friend was experiencing. All I could do was be there for her, no words were sufficient, no actions were good enough. How something so simple as just being there for a friend can mean so much?? No way, there had to be something else. In retrospect, I have realized just how important it was my being there with her during this sorrowful time, and here I was feeling that I couldnt do or say anything to help make a difference. Some things are better left unsaid and are taken care of by the smallest of actions.
Claire's outlook on life and her conversations were so special to me. I got to talk and spend time just sharing life things with Claire. The last time I saw her we talked about family, basketball, memories, and conversation that will remain forever in my heart. Not once thinking that this would be the last time I would get to see and talk to her. How I wished now that I would of said something better that day in the hospital. I am so glad that she and I shared a special friendship. She touched my heart and I miss her very much. Claire was and always will be the centerstone for her husband, children, family members, grandchildren, and friends. I think of her often and I ask God to watch over her family as they restructure their lives without her. She will be sorely missed.
Loreeta, I will always and forever be there for you. I think your mother knew how special and wonderful our friendship is, and I think she is smiling right now. I can't imagine all the pain and sorrow you felt during your mother's passing and even today and yet many tomorrows. I do wish you strength, wisdom, and inner peace as time goes by. You're the best. I love you.
Love, Darcie
