Passing of Time By Larry Chadwick In memory of Ginger Michelle February 19, 1974 - May 18, 2002 If I speak of how I miss you When everybody knows, It’s because I cannot help The way my heartache shows. If you hadn’t gone away Before it was your time, I wouldn’t be so lonely, In fact I’d be just fine. I know it’s been a while, Since the day that was so dark. I haven’t yet forgotten, The way you left your mark. And your memory is alive, But not because of me. It’s all about the woman, That you turned out to be. May 19, 2010 If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again. |

There can be no greater pain than the loss of a child. This is a beautiful expression of that loss and a lovely tribute to your daughter, Larry. (((HUGS))) |

My friend, she was here too short a time... but she touched so many lives. And she still does. We've shared your heartbreak but we've also shared your love for her... a love so incredibly beautiful it's changed all of us for the better. Beautiful work... big hugs!!! |

I am at a loss at what to say. I think these are fine words written from a father to a daughter. |
