I know I have no reason to sit here and cry in my heart I'll never say good-bye How could I ? You are a part of me My hero, not just a member of my family You never let me forget I was special to you in everything you'd say in everything you'd do I have 30 years of memories kept within my heart more treasured than any great work of art For all my life I'll never let go of you How could I? I love you Aunt Sue -SEA- * My Aunt Sue passed away on October 5,2000, my Mom's birthday......... |

It's never easy to lose someone close to you. Harder yet to endure the loss of a 'hero'. I'm very sorry for your loss and for that of your family. Thoughts and prayers, be yours. Cherish your memories and be well. Trev. |

OH Susan I'm sorry hon! I knew you said she wasn't doing well! Big hugs to you hon. We have to mourn, so let the tears flow. Here's a poem for ya. God looked around His garden And He found an empty place He then looked down upon this earth And He saw your tired face. He put his arms around you And lifted you to rest God's garden must be beautiful He always takes the best. He knew that you were suffering He knew you were in pain He knew that you would never Get well on earth again. He saw that the road was getting rough And the hills were hard to climb So He closed your weary eyelids, And whispered, "Peace be thine." It broke our hearts to lose you But you didn't go alone For part of us went with you The day God called you home. You left us beautiful memories Your love is still our guide And though we cannot see you You are always by our side Our family chain is broken And nothing seems the same But as God calls us one by one The chain will link again. author unknown My condolences sweetheart!! HUGS This was a wonderful tribute to your Aunt Sue. <*\\\>< I know not what the future holds, but I know Who holds the future. |

SEA... I am so deeply sorry for your loss. I lost my aunt in April of this year, and I know it is tough. But with the grief comes consolation that she is happy, and always watching over me. And that she will be there for me anytime I need her. No more great distances, no more waiting for one day a month when I can call her... she is there right when I ask for her. I'm sure she was very honored by this poem. Great writing... A good way to tell her that you celebrated her life, and still love her through the plains. Many bright blessings to you. *Kimberlee*< !signature--> "It was my love that did us both to death. " -Sylvia Plath [This message has been edited by SorrowsMystress (edited 10-06-2000).] |

Kimberlee~ thank you for caring...I'm sorry you lost your Aunt also....I am happy that she is no longer in pain, that was breaking my heart, and yes, she is a thought away. It's gonna hurt for a long time. Waverly~ thank you for taking the time to say you care, it means so much to me.....the day I was born, she drove something like 4 hours with a broken arm, just to be there to see me.And that begins the love between us, she was always there for me. I miss her so much. -SEA |

SEA-This cowboy wants to seriously tell you just how sweet this is and you may carry her in your heart and memories but she is now cradling you with her angel wings and I know that she will let you feel her inside of you. You have the heart of an angel yourself. Take care of you my sweet friend. Hugs to you and one small soft one on the cheek. |

SEA~ God knows I understand your pain. The tears are yours, but I hope it helps to know know that they are cradled in my heart with your ache. Heartfelt sympathy for your loss. When we love someone so deeply - it does hurt when they leave our presence. And though the memories remain ... we are always reminded of the enormity of our loss. Love to you, hon. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ [email protected] |

SEA, I am sorry for your loss. You and your family will be in my thoughts and prayers. Warm big hugs my friend. ANGEL The whisper of your memory Dances across my mind Some people don’t understand How you’ve touched my life But you showed me more Than other people ever could You showed me hope You showed me how to be brave Smiling through your pain Always offering a kind hand Always offering words of care Never complaining or faltering I know you look down on us now Not with sadness of being gone But with peace and love Watching over us With the memory of you Forever embedded in our hearts I posted this poem in forum 8 I think... I thought you might like it. ~~Tara aka rp25 :o) |

Sorry for your loss (((HUGS))) This a very good expression of what you feel. Keep writing the poetry to help you sort the pain. It will help. I know it has helped me in the past. God Bless. *Jenn* My name isn't Baby, and I don't want to cyber. |

SEA, This is a fitting tribute to a special person in your life. I can tell you were very close to her. It is never easy to let go of those we love, but we have to remember that one day we will be reunited with them and then there will be no more good-byes. I send my sympathy for your loss. You and your Aunt Sue are in my thoughts and prayers. Lovely writing. Lone Wolf Poetry should surprise by fine excess...it should strike the reader as a wording of his own highest thoughts and appear almost a remembrance. -J.Keats |
