Barbara's Anniversary to Heaven 11-29-13
Today is the second anniversary of Barbara's transition to the "other side". There is so much that one has erased from one's records that leaves so little to be remembered by. I felt that Barbara deserved better than that, because of the beautiful life that she led, and how many people she affected positively. She certainly made her small portion of the world a better place because of the way she lived and loved life and people. In my small way I am determined that she will not be forgotten, by donating these courtyard tables to the Bourne Senior Center, in her memory, I hope that she will be remembered in perpertuity. I certainly will remember and love her that long...I miss you Sweetheart, and love you very much. I created this poem to explain what I feel :
The ERASER
When Mr Death makes his visit to claim you
He surely will carry a very large Eraser, too
His purpose is to expunge all that you held dear,
And to make your name completely disappear.
From your house, your car and even your checkbook,
You just can't hide from his audacious look.
And, finally all that is left of what was you
Is a name and two dates on a headstone to view.
In order to correct this outrageous situation,
I've given to the Center two tables as a donation.
In Barbara's Memory the plaques will proclaim,
Even tho she's gone, please, remember her name.
The tables will reflect how she lived and loved life.
Enjoying friends, serving folks and being a wonderful wife.
Use the tables with enjoyment, and feasting pleasure,
For these tables to me, are truly a treasure.
Submitted by Barbara's adoring and loving husband,
