In Memory of My Daughter Sheril Lynn February 3,1964 - December 22,1998 From your first breath to your last from your first step until you could no more the beat of my heart, the joy in my day. Your laughter like a chorus from above graced, nourished and sustained all who were lucky enough to cross your path. There were no good-byes on that day in the midst of winter for your last smile revealed the coming of the next spring. As if it was a dream in that final moment you briefly soared so pale and worn. Suddenly the moment glistened as your windblown purity became once again young and musical free from pain, clean of soul. God reached out His gentle hand and led you home from whence you came yet still you’re felt everywhere you’re part of everything: every sunrise, every sunset every bird’s song every flower that blooms... they’re all a part of you. Journey onward my lovely daughter, travel the great dimensions of time and know, always and forever, how I love you, and how I thank God for the beauty of the time He lent you to me. |

Of this Great Earth we are born, our bodies are but a small wonder of creation, but our souls abound in glory and are timeless in the vastness of the universe. May you look into the night skies, and see that one star that shines more brightly than before, for there you will feel the spirit of your departed, shining down on you. Wonderful tribute, and touching write. Tracey |
