If Ever …
~*Marge Tindal*~


"If you ever need me for anything, I will be there."

She wrote with loving heart on Sunday
on the anniversary of her son’s birth-of-day
knowing there are friends around
who will gently hold her hand~

She did not ask for empathy
In fact, required no more from me
than the simple line you see above~
For with friends … that is the way of love~

So in honor of Michael, who died of AIDS,
I would hope to softly bring
honor to his memory by sharing
what his mother’s friendship means to me~

Just as Michael had a friend to the end
so will I have one in my friend
She is true … she is kind
she is my touch of real
she is loving friend
who shares just how she feels~

You know who you are dearest ‘angel’
Thank you for sharing Michael’s story with me~
Holding you in love … I am~

And … right back at you –

"If you ever need me for anything, I will be there."

***Dedicated to my dear, dear friend, Pat Valle,
in loving remembrance of her son, Michael***

Pat's son is no longer suffering for now he flies free and unencumbered with the angels in heaven.

"So in honor of Michael, who died of AIDS,
I would hope to softly bring
honor to his memory by sharing
what his mother’s friendship means to me~"

~ and that you have... and in a most lovely and loving manner...

Love & Eternal Light,
Linda

Dearest Marge,

This is the second time I have cried in two days. The tears were not of pain and sorrow, but for the great joy I have found in my dearest friends. Michael will always remain in the deepest part of my heart and soul.

Thank you Marge, for your friendship and love, and for helping to keep his memory alive in your beautiful words.

I love you Dearest Friend!!!!!

Patricia

Only God knows the true value of a friend who comforts us in our most difficult trials. Your piece offers that deep, kind, true friendship from the heart.

My prayer is for peace in Pat's grieving process and thanks to God for such true angelic friendships.

it would seem that Pat has two angels on her shoulder dear friend.

To Pat, my deepest sympathy for your loss.

the woods are lovely, dark, and deep, but I have promises to keep, and many miles to go before I sleep...Frost
