In all sincerity, Lyra and Larry...you are both often, for me...the heart and soul of this place. Thanks, thoughts and prayers to you both. Sig strike in process...grab a sign and let's walk around in circles. |

 (tears fall down my cheeks) God Bless You, sweet friend, I have not too much to say about right now because my thoughts are with Larry but this truly a beautifully heartfelt poem I just know Larry will cherish just as he will hold this wisdom true and know his love will always be in his golden heart! (BIG HUGGGSSSSSSS) You both are true angels to me, sweet friend, God Bless You, we all love you so much as I join you in sympathies to Larry and his family! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Lyra, thank you for sharing! May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..." |

Lyra, Wisdom comes at great price. You have paid much to be so wise. Such love and encouragement is so touching to my aching heart. My Papa isn't gone but if he survives his quality of life, short of a miracle, will not be good. He has been my hero since I can remember and always will be. (Duncan...such humbling words. Seldom am I speechless, but now  If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again. |

Lyra, how kind and loving this is. I am so sad, and starting to feel angry about all the misfortunes that seem to be occurring to our famiy here. I think I will go cry for a while. Hugs Sandra |

Lyra, you speak of the bond between father and son so well here that it reminds me of the one I had with my own father. He's been gone many years now, but I still see him in my mirror, in my hands, in the many things about myself that I've become over the years, things that were a part of him. Thank you for this and please know that Larry's dear dad is in my daily prayers. Michael |

Larry, my heart is with you...I too have a father who is getting up in his years, not able to do many things he used to....I can only hope that when he goes, that I am there to hold his hand....and that he goes peacefully, knowing he is loved....just as your father surely knows about you... Lyra, thank you dear lady for all that you give to each of us..... [This message has been edited by Magnus (07-31-2002 06:03 PM).] |

Larry... You are right. Wisdom does come with a steep price, and you too...have paid much too much for your wisdom; but please know that Ginger and your Papa will be together now and they will both always be with you. ~ sad hugs of wisdomLyra |

Thanks so much, Barry... My mother is 87. She is in good health (probably better than I am) but she is very frail...and I worry about her all the time. I feel as you do, I hope that I am there for her to hold her hand, but I may end up being on the other side to welcome her instead. ~ hugs of love and sadnessLyra |
