Don't think of him as gone away..
his journey's just begun;
life holds so many facets..
this earth is only one.
returningtwinstars.jpg (1430 bytes)

Just think of him as resting
from sorrows and the tears
in a place of warmth and comfort
where there are no days and years
.
returninghomecross.jpg (1865 bytes)

Think how he must be wishing
that we could know ,today,
how nothing but our sadness
can really pass away.

And think of him as living
in the hearts of those he touched..
for nothing loved is ever lost...
and he was loved so much

I wish that I could just be one of the bunch that was with you for a few
days. You are the greatest lady that I know of . I am sorry to hear that you
have lost your Daddy. He had to be one of the great Fathers of all time to
raise a gracious Lady like you. My Prayers are with you. Love to the whole
Family. Especially (MOM & Bobbie )

Bobbie I know there are not words that can tell you what you have lost, but remember the good times and keep the memories close to the heart. With love

Oh Girl Friend,
I'm so sorry for your loss. I know the feeling of losing a parent. There are
no words that can explain it. All I can say is the loss gets easier as
memories of good times spent with them refills the hole their passing away
makes. Death isn't fair, it never has been, neither is sickness or disease.
But, I truly believe that God does not put up on us what we do not have the
strength to with stand with his help. I know you will need to be strong for
your mother and family, but don't forget about yourself Bobby. Let someone
be strong for you too. I'll keep you and the family in my prayers.

DEATH IS NOTHING AT ALL. I HAVE ONLY SLIPPED
AWAY INTO THE NEXT ROOM...
WHATEVER WE WERE TO EACH OTHER , WE STILL ARE
CALL ME BY MY OLD FAMILIAR NAME. SPEAK TO ME
IN THE SAME EASY WAY YOU ALWAYS HAVE.
LAUGH AS WE ALWAYS LAUGHED AT THE LITTLE
JOKES WE ENJOYED TOGETHER..
PLAY, SMILE, THINK OF ME, PRAY FOR ME.

LIFE MEANS ALL THAT IT EVER MEANT .
IT IS THE SAME AS IT ALWAYS WAS.
THERE IS AN ABSOLUTE UNBROKEN CONTINUITY.
WHY SHOULD I BE OUT OF YOUR MIND, BECAUSE I AM
OUT OF YOUR SIGHT??
I AM BUT WAITING FOR YOU, FOR AN INTERVAL,
SOMEWHERE VERY NEAR,
JUST AROUND THE CORNER.

ALL IS WELL, NOTHING IS PAST
NOTHING HAS BEEN LOST, ONE BRIEF MOMENT
AND ALL WILL BE AS IT WAS BEFORE----
ONLY BETTER. INFINITELY HAPPIER.
WE WILL BE ONE , TOGETHER FOREVER.

Bobbie my prayers are with all of you. I know it is rough and there are no words that can be said that will help but at least you know he is in peace now and whole once again. No living in a shell. There are times we have to let go. I have been there so I know what you are going through. Love and hugs to all of you.

Bobbie, I know at this times words can mean so little
and can be just a blur. But know they come from the
Heart and every one just wants to be able to ease your
pain some what in their own way.
Oddly enough I lost my Daddy 10 years ago this weekend.
I know there is so much pain right now for you and your
family, and I know you would never wish him back like he
was, nor could I. But I will tell you, your sweet memories will
take over eventually. It has never got any easier for me but I
know some day I will meet him on high and that is my comfort
along with my sweet memories. Just remember your Daddy
didn't leave you he just stepped beyond the veil and is still there
For you if you need him.. Just step back and feel his wonderful
Hug in your minds eye and know he loved you and Mommy and
brothers and sisters with all his heart and soul. I wish I could make
your pain go away but Bobbie I can't, just know you and your family
are all in my prayers and thoughts. Someday if you want to just talk
about him.... just give me a jingle on your email :-)

Love You,
Betty and Mac

It seems like such a solitary experience to lose a family
member,
that we often think that no-one could understand how odd
this sense of loss feels.
It is helpful to realize that just about everyone goes
through this loss, and many (not all)
have felt exactly the same way.
Some people are unfortunate enough to have serious
relationship issues
that had not been dealt with - and their suffering is
just as painful - different, but equally as saddening.

If you look in the notices section of any large newspaper,
you will always
find an "In Memoriam" section where people try to cope with
the grief by
paying to publish some tacky poetry of the
"gone-but-not-forgotten" variety -
and if you look thru' several days worth of papers, you will
readily observe
that the departed persons being grieved - had left as long
ago as twenty years!

So next year, about this time, you are going to feel -
shitty
(tacky word, but used for its aptness)
and it will help you to recall that that feeling is common
to many of us.

Just as those newspaper memorials are a coping strategy for
many,
you have to choose to spend a little time in the past
- down memory lane  and revel in the bbright spots.
The choice to  "revel"  will reduce the urge to "wallow"

three years after my mother died, I read in the paper that a

Carol Mason of Newmarket, Ontario - had qualified to the
Canadian Olimpic Equestrian team. The name and place fit my
relatives,
and I thought "hey that's probably a second cousin!" I
should phone mom
and check! then the realization that I could no longer ask
mom anything rolled in
real hard, and the weeping, three years late , rolled in
like a wave.

The hymn "when peace like a River attendeth my way"
"When sorrows like sea billows roll"  means more now.
earlier, it just seemed like the imagery of a good poet,
but after the sorrow has felt like it  literally rolled over
you like an ocean breaker
you realize the poet wasn't being imaginative, he was being
aptly descriptive.

May the breaker leave you standing in a pool of His Peace.

DAVE

 

Bobbie,
From ALL of your friends at TN-MEMORIES
Just know how dear you are to all of us. You are such a
special person and out hearts bleed for you and your sorrow!
our prayers will continue to be with you and your family!

Love,
Your Tn-Memories Friends
