Dear Mary and Tom,

My thoughts and prayers are with you at this very sad time. I know your strong faith will keep you strong and help get you through this difficult time. Keep those happy times close to your heart. Know you did all you could for your father. It hurts now, the pain does lessen but you will always miss him.

He is at peace now and no longer suffering. He went peacefully and didn't have to suffer long.

Sorry I won't be there tomorrow, but my prayers are with you.

WE do miss you but you take all the time that you need. You have earned it.

Love,

Pam Gilliam

Shining Star-

When that bright light is no shining by your side.Look toward the midnight sky.One of those twinkling stars you see

Holds the spirit of the love that used to be.

That beautiful soul still lives.

Strength and encouragement it continues to give.

That diamond in the sky watches over you as you cry.

Your loved one's soul is not gone.

Their body has simply found a new home.

As you stumble through your darkest nights,

Look upward and find your special light.

It will illuminate your path so you may see

thatGod will supply all of your needs. copyright2002
