My brother in law passed away suddenly today.. he was much loved. Our tears do fall.... Rest in Peace Ian.


We know not when or how or where
We only know our life will end
And we must leave some memories
For those we loved
And for those that loved us in return
So smile for me
Your tears will dry
Be strong
And live your life with love
No goodbyes for now
Only see you in a while



Be kind at heart....for everyone you meet has their own battle to fight.........

Sending you much love and a tender hug across the world, dear Roniece. Your words tug at the heartstrings. A sudden transition of a loved one is tough on all those who remain behind, but knowing you I know that your big heart and your compassion, as well as your innate serenity will be of great comfort for your sister and family.

Love,
Margherita

Very sorry to hear of the death of a loved one, Roniece. The poem was lovely.

Obviously, from this, he left heart-touching memories, my friend, and that's the ultimate gift from one who has moved on - memories that touch and caress.

my heart...

my conception of 'Heaven' ... is when one still remains behind in other people's hearts.

fine 'tribute' write!

I'm very sorry for your loss.

RDB.

My heart aches for you as I read this.  I have lost a few family members this year and it hurts.  I just hold them close and feel their love inside me.  Hugs to you, my darling friend.  As I said in your other poem - I am sending bundles and baskets of love, thoughts and hugs to you and your sister.

With love,
Alison

I am so sorry for your loss... Goodbyes are never easy and when they happen suddenly and everyone else is celebrating, it's even harder. Please know you and your family are in my prayers.
