DB, May God's love shroud you and your family, and may the fellowship of Pixies keep you strong during the next few days. Some people choose to mourn death, while others choose to celebrate the life of those that have passed. I have a pretty good feeling you fall in the latter category. God bless you and yours...

This poem was given to me by a hospis volunteer when my dad died..it brought me comfort when I was sad that I couldn't share what goodness happened in my life with my dad.....

Don’t grieve for me, for now I’m free
I’m following the path God has laid you see.
I took His hand when I heard him call
I turned my back and left it all.

I could not stay another day
To laugh, to love, to work, to play.
Tasks left undone must stay that way
I found that peace at the close of day.

If my parting has left a void
Then fill it with remembered joy.
A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss
Oh yes, these things I too will miss.

Be not burdened with times of sorrow
I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow.
My life’s been full, I savored much
Good friends, good times, a loved one’s touch.

Perhaps my time seemed all too brief
Don’t lengthen it now with undue grief.
Lift up your hearts and peace to thee
God wanted me now; He set me free.

you and yours are in my prayers, hun

Sorry dude, I have lost two dear friends this year to cancer. I hope things go well for your family and the burden is lifted quickly.

Hope you make it in time. You are in my thoughts and prayers. Make you be carried on the wings of angels.

{{{{{{{{Dicksbro}}}}}}}}} My prayers are with you during this difficult time.
