I’m so sorry to hear the news of your loss. In sharing it here, it has given me a reminder that we never know when the end is for each of us. I will take extra time to enjoy the moments I have with my family and friends. Thank you for sharing this with us.

Death seems to either brings out the best or the worst in people. I have seen it do both depending on the character and motives of the people and the depth of the relationships involved. Thank you for showing the good it can bring out.

Thank you so much for sharing something so personal as a tribute and a reminder. My parents are coming for a visit in couple of days, and after reading this, you can be sure I won’t waste a second of my time with them. Again, thank you and best wishes as you move forward, but not away.

Hi Alex & Mary Beth,

My heart is with you. I’ve lost my dearest big sister on 20th June too. It’s definitely depressing and totally heart wrenching to know someone you love is longer around. But always remember, physically they may not be around us but spiritually, they live in our hearts.

Forever.

Yours Sincerely,
Ellesse

I am so sorry for your loss and pray that you may find peace and strength in this time. Your love for your father/father-in-law will keep him close to you always. I send my heart-felt thoughts and prayers for you and your family. Also, here is a poem that has been comforting to me in times like these. I hope it will ease the pain.
There Is No Death
– Author Unknown

I am standing upon the seashore.

A ship at my side spreads her white sails to the morning breeze and starts for the blue ocean.

She is an object of beauty and strength and I stand and watch her until, at length, she hangs like a speck of white cloud just where the sea and the sky come to mingle with each other.

Someone at my side says, “There, she’s gone.”

Gone from my sight that is all.

She is just as large in mast and hull and spar, as she was when she left my side, and she is just as able to bear her load of living weight to her destined port.

Her diminished size is in me not in her.

And just as the moment when someone at my side says, “There, she’s gone”, there are other eyes watching her coming and other voices ready to take up the glad shout, “There, she comes”.

And that is dying.

~~God Bless You~~
