Yesterday at work my roommate and I found out his friend Will (also our co-worker) died in a motorcycle accident..it's strange when you work with someone and starting to get to know them and weeks later they die..So I hope this does some justice even though I did not know him well...


7.16.02

I wonder if my words
Would do your memory justice
Or if my tears
Wash away the immense pain
That was deeply embedded
Within our hearts
When you left us
That fateful Saturday
I admit
I knew you not very well
But my heart
Was overwhelmed
When I heard the news yesterday
Found lifeless
Amongst the soft green grass
Now in heaven
Spirit speeding fast
Into the unknown
Forever in our hearts
Your memory will be known
I know
I'm not alone
When I express my feelings
That I'm half way expecting you
To walk right through that door
And joke like you have done many times before
I try to reassure myself
That all of this is real
And that now you're an angel
Protecting us
Guiding us
And still gracing us
With your smile...

Even when a life touches us just for a brief moment,
God is grateful that we show remorse at their sudden passing,
for the child was His gift to us...
and we should never ignore His gifts...

This was a true outpouring of your heart, and I thank you for sharing your compassion...

(tears fall down my cheeks) Oh Kristen, this is so very sad, sweet friend, I'm so sorry to hear this, but I know with all my heart Will will always be blessed to have such a loving golden-hearted friend like you and he truly is an angel watching over you and all his loved ones with love forever and he is in safe hands! (BIG HUGGGSSSSSSS) God Bless You, sweet friend, you are a true angel too, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Kristen, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton
