Re: OT - ((( Tracie)))

[Guest guest]

To Tracie;

That he was near to you so many a year,

But darkens your distress.

Would you he were less worthy and less dear,

That you might grieve the less?

He was a golden font that freely poured

What goldenly endures,

And though that font be gone,

Its bounty stored and treasured,

Still is yours.

The past is deathless.

Souls are wells too deep

The spend their purest gains.

All that he give to you

Is yours to keep.

While memories remain.

Who never had and lost

Forlorn are they

Far more that you and I,

Who had and have,

Judge the price we pay

For love that cannot die.

[Poem by A. Guiterman]

Hold on to to memories; they will help you through this difficult time.

With love,

Wow everyone,

I am overwhelmed by your love and support regarding my dad's death.

Thanks to everyone who posted. I really appreciate it. I think I am

over the initial shock now. Like most of you said, at least he did

not suffer. It probably is the best way to go. This is the greatest

group.

Hugs,

Tracie
