Epitaph for Emily In memory of… the bloom from a flower that lasted only but for a season- and as summer passes into autumn our memory of the bloom, its fragrance and beauty will last for us throughout all seasons. Emily....I will miss you so. Robert if you can dream; you can fly...if you are flying; you are dreaming. |

Robert- Beautiful sentiment on someone who was loved by you. How lucky you are to have loved two Emily's. How sad to lose even one. Also glad to see you back. I didn't authorize your ICQ either. Sorry, love ... didn't know who it was. Try it again. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |

Thanks to all of you my friends. I hope you all have an "Emily" in your life at least once. I need to make a phone call or send a card to my "daughter" Emily. The other Emily was a daughter of one of my customers. She was killed in an auto accident. She was so kind to me while I worked on her house. We just became close somehow. The day of her death I went to her home and there was only the family. I went in and sat at the table and cried with them. I was just the siding guy...but I felt much more at that moment. Robert |
