Death
Sadness, joyful
Weeping, thinking, praying
Free from machines and doctors

Whispers from Heaven
By: Unknown
 

When I left this world without you I know it made you blue. Your tears fell so freely, I watched: I know this is true.
While you were weeping, Days after I passed away -- While all was silent within me, I saw you kneel to pray.
From this wonderful place called heaven Where all my pain is gone, I send a gentle breeze to whisper, "My loved ones, please go on."
The peace that I have found here Goes far beyond compare. No rain, no clouds, no suffering -- Just LOVE from everywhere.
You need not be troubled Just stay close to GOD in prayer Someday we'll be reunited My love, HIS love surrounds you always, EVERYWHERE!

Merry Christmas from Heaven
By: John Mooney, Jr.
 

I still hear the songs I still see the lights I still feel your love on cold wintery nights
I still share your hopes & all of your cares I'll even remind you to please say your prayers
I just want to tell you you still make me proud You stand head & shoulders above all the crowd
Keep trying each moment to stay in His grace I came here before you to help set your place
You don't have to be perfect all of the time he forgices you the slip If you continue the climb
To my family & friends please be thankful today I'm still close beside you In a new special way
I love you all dearly now don't shed a tear Cause I'm spending my Christmas with Jesus this year

Could we ever forget your sparkling eyes
or the way you brightened each day,
or your smile
which is etched in our memories,
so you're never far away?
Could we ever forget
those priceless moments?
The answer, of course, is never.
For you were part of our lives
for a brief time,
but you'll be part of our hearts forever.

"A million times I have needed you,
a million times I have cried.
If love alone could have saved you,
you never would have died. 
In life I loved you dearly,
in death I love you still. 
In my heart you hold a special place,
that none will ever fill. 
It broke my heart to lose you,
but you did not go alone. 
For all my love went with you,
the day God called you home."

"When I must leave you for a little while,
please do not grieve and shed wild tears
and hug your sorrow to you
through the years.
But start out bravely with a gallant smile;
And for my sake and in my name,
live on and do all things the same.
Feed not your loneliness on empty days
but fill each waking hour in useful ways.
Reach out your hand in comfort and in cheer.
And I in turn will comfort you
and hold you near.
And never, never be afraid to die;
For I am waiting for you in the sky!"

"If I could have a lifetime wish;
A dream that would come true
I'd pray to God with all my heart,
for yesterday and you.
A thousand words can't bring you back,
I know because I've tried.
Neither will a million tears,
I know because I've cried.
You left behind my broken heart,
And happy memories too.
I never wanted memories,
I only wanted you."

"In one of the stars I shall be living.
In one of them I shall be laughing.
And so it will be as if all the stars were laughing
When you look at the sky at night.
 You - only you - will have stars that can laugh. 
And there is sweetness in the laughter of all stars
And in the memories of those you love."
~ The Little Prince - Antoine De Saint Exupery

"A life so young released to heaven . . . Left on earth, we wonder 'Why?'  But some are sent among us briefly; Some have spirits meant to fly."  ~Author Unknown

"A small boy looked at a star and began to weep.
The star said "Boy, why are you weeping?"
And the boy said "You are so far away -
I will never be able to touch you."
And the star answered "Boy, if I were not already
in your heart, you would not be able to see me."

"At the finest level of my being, you're still with me.
We still look at each other, at that level beyond sight.
We talk and laugh with each other, in a place beyond words. 
We still touch each other, on a level beyond touch. 
We share time together in a place where time stands still.
We are still together, on a level called LOVE. 
But I cry alone for you, in a place called reality."
~Richard Lepinsky
