| Condolence Entries | | | | | To The Family of Mr. Marsh:
I am truly sorry for your great loss. I send the entire family my condolences. But the Bible also offers us some encouragement. John 5:28,29 speaks about a time when "all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out...". Also, Isaiah 33:24 speaks about a time when sicknesses will be no more, and thus no longer cause death. So we must wait until the fulfillment of these wonderful promises, and we will once again be united with our dead loved ones. |
| | | To My Daddy It has only been a few weeks
Since I said my last goodbyes,
It seemed so unreal, as I stood by your side
And watched my dear daddy die.
I tried so hard to be brave
When you were so close to death
I covered your sweet face, with kisses and tears
Until you took your very last breath.
And when you finaly did leave us
I held your precious hand,
And as gently as I could (for mom)
I removed your wedding band.
I then snipped off a piece of your hair
To put in a locket, close to my heart,
And on the locket, I plan to engrave
Daddy, I love you with all of my heart!
Love, your daughter Dee

| | | I Felt An Angel Near Today,
Though One I Couldn't See.
I Felt An Angel, Oh-So-Close,
Sent To Comfort Me.
I Felt An Angel's Gentle Kiss,
Soft Upon My Cheek.
And Oh, Without A Single Word,
Of Caring It Did Speak.
I Felt An Angel's Loving Touch,
Soft Upon My Heart.
And With That Touch, I Felt The Pain,
And Hurt Within Depart.
I Felt An Angel's Tepid Tears,
Fall Softly Next To Mine.
And Knew That As Those Tears Did Dry,
A New Day Would Be Mine.
I Felt An Angel's Silken Wings,
Enfold Me With Pure Love.
And Felt A Strength Within Me Grow,
A Strength Sent From Above.
I Felt An Angel, Oh-So-Close,
Though One I Couldn't See,
I Felt An Angel Near Today,
Sent To Comfort Me.

| | | When Life Starts Without Me...
When tomorrow starts without me, and I'm not there to see; If the sun should rise and find your eyes all filled with tears for me; I wish so much you wouldn't cry the way you did today, while thinking of the many things we didn't get to say.
I know how much you love me, as much as I love you, And each time you think of me I know you'll miss me too; But when tomorrow starts without me, please try to understand, that an angel came and called my name and took me by the hand, And said my place was ready in heaven far above and that I'd have to leave behind all those I dearly love.
But as I turned to walk away, a tear fell from my eye, for all life, I'd always thought I didn't want to die.
I had so much to live for and so much yet to do, it seemed almost impossible that I was leaving you .
I thought of all the yesterdays, the good ones and the bad, I thought of all the love we shared and all the fun we had.
If I could relive yesterday I thought just for awhile I'd say good bye and kiss you and maybe see you smile.
But then I fully realized that this could never be, for emptiness and memories would take the place of me.
And when I thought of wordly things that I'd miss come tomorrow, I thought of you, and when I did, my heart was filled with sorrow.
But when I walked through heaven's gate, I felt so much at home.
When God looked down and smiles at me, from His great golden throne, He said, " This is eternity and all I've promised you".
Today for life on what is past but here it starts anew.
I promise no tomorrow, but today will always last, and since each day's the same day, there's no longing for the past.
but you have been so faithful, so trusting, so true.
Though there were times you did some things you knew you shouldn't do.
But you have been forgiven and now at last you're free.
So won't you take my hand and share my life with me?
So when tomorrow starts without me, don't think we're far apart, for everytime you think of me, I'm right here in your heart.

| | | My Dad enjoyed wildlife, fishing, camping, family BBQs and spending time with his grandchildren. He and my mom trapped and nuetered feral cats for many years. One of his favorites was a newborn kitten he found and with the help of my brother bottle raised and named her Monster. Monster is now a spoiled rotten house cat. My dad thought that Monster was so intelligent and was always telling us to look come see some spectaculer feat that Monster had accomplished! Dad always enjoyed holidays, especially his Birthday and Fathers day, he was like a kid when it came to opening presents. Dad had a stroke years sgo and one of his most endearing qualities was his crooked smile. I will miss that smile. One funny quirk of Dads was that he always wanted to read the Newspaper before anyone else and if you had the courage to read it first you made sure to put it back together and pray that he wouldn't notice! "Dad you were a wonderful father and we are going to miss you like crazy!

| | | A Last Goodbye 3/25/04
My father came to me in a dream last night
He was standing at the foot of my bed,
He had that crooked smile upon his face
And this is what he said.
My darling daughter please dont cry
And try not to be so sad,
Just know how much I miss you all
And that I will always be your dad.
Tell your mother not to weep for me
She was the one and only love of my life,
And if I had it to do all over again
I would choose her to be my wife.
And tell your brother, my only son
Just how much I will miss,
All the times that we went fishing
And especially our camping trips.
Tell Pam that Paul is by my side
And on two feet he now stands,
And that he only wants her to be happy
And that he understands.
And please tell Terri, my baby girl
That I heard her last goodbyes,
And that I am free of pain and happy
In my new home in the sky.
Tell Justin, my precious grandson
Just how proud of him I am,
And at his Graduation
By his side Papa will stand.
And tell Katie that I hear her
When she plays her guitar and sings,
And that uncle Paul gets tears in his eyes
When she plays " Shiny Strings".
Tell Shelby that when she is riding Star
And feels the wind upon her face,
To think of me and what she really feels
Is my sweet and warm embrace.
And as he turned and walked away
I realized we will never really be apart,
For he will live live on forever, in a special place
Deep within our hearts.
Dee Sparrow
