Keep this memorial online

Though you left us unexpectedly and never gave us a chance to say goodbye, I am creating this homepage to keep your soul alive.

I never told you want I wanted to say and now it is too late to hold you because you have flown away. The rain may wash my pain away, the wind may dry my tears the Summer sun may heal my heart and time subdue my fears, but nothing in the world below or in the Heavens above will ever take away the precious memory of your love.

You were a gift from God to all who knew you, your presence enriched us all and your love goes on in our hearts. I know you are shining down on me from heaven. I miss you fondly and sadly and Lord knows when I lay me down to sleep you will always listen as I pray for your soul to rest in peace. You will always be remembered, you were a true sunshine in my life and now you are gone.

Poem

I know life on earth is troubled
And only you could know the pain
You weren't afraid to face the devil
You were no stranger to the rain

Go rest high on that mountain
your work on earth is done
Go to heaven a shouting
Love for the Father and Son

Oh, how we cried the day you left us
We gathered round your grave to grieve
I wish I could see the angels faces
When they hear your sweet voice sing

The stars are not wanted now put out ever one;
pack up the moon and dismantle the sun;
Pour away the ocean and sweep up the wood.
For nothing now can ever come to any good.

My dear, my dove
Go far away, go serene
Let nothing here hold you back
Rejoin the sky and the ether
Leave us the earth

Leave misery's coat
Fly my angel, leave your body
and leave us and be close to the father
and rest in peace to finally stop the pain.

Notes and messages

You will always be the sunshine of my life.
