Memorials

In the beginning there is but one.
In the end it's the same.
No complaints just attention
Always around when you need her

Why is the suffering this severe?
For someone who wanted nothing
Always doing work for others
Even though they were not her own

No matter what happens she is still my mum
I implore God to make it easy
No one person should go through this
Seems crazy now but we thought she had it licked

My mum is a saint
My mum is never flustered
My mum is very brave
Most of all…She is MY mum.

In loving memory of my mother, Joyce.

Dear Mike, why so soon, why so fast
You left, you vanished, if not forever, then for now
I hope you are now watching us while you rest
Placing trust in that God, your God, the one you have now found

Dear Mike, I will miss you, as will many others
Your continual thirst for life, never ending
Smiling always, enthusiasm that overflowed, ever possible way
Wishing always for peace and receiving always the grace of many friendships

Dear Mike, you name will live on, I promise
We honor, with gratitude and saddened hearts, your continual friendship
Heavy are our feelings on this first day and every day of life without you
Committed forever to remember how you changed us all

In memory of my friend Mike
