TOGETHER
Death is nothing at all.
I have only slipped away into the next room.
Whatever we were to each other, that we are still.
Call me by my old familiar name,
Speak to me in the easy way which you always used.
Laugh as we always laughed at the little jokes we enjoyed together.
Play, smile, think of me, pray for me.
Let my name be the household word that it always was.
Let it be spoken without effort.
Life means all that it ever meant.
It is the same as it ever was; there is absolutely unbroken continuity.
Why should I be out of your mind because I am out of your sight?
I am but waiting for you, for an interval,
Somewhere very near, just around the corner.
All is well, nothing is past, nothing is lost.
One brief moment and all will be as it was before,
Only better, infinitely happier and forever,
As we will all be one together with Christ.
See you in Heaven My son, My friend, Miss you!
Tributes
Leave a tributeI only have a picture now,
A frozen piece of time,
To remind me of how it was,
When you were here and mine.
I see your smiling eyes
Each morning when I wake.
I talk to you and place a kiss
Upon your lovely face.
How much I miss you being here,
I really cannot say.
The ache is deep inside my heart
And never goes away.
I hear it mentioned often
That time will heal the pain,
But if I'm being honest,
I hope it will remain.
I need to feel you constantly,
To get me through the day.
I loved you so very much.
Why did you go away?
The angels came and took you,
That really wasn't fair.
They took my one and only son,
My future life, my heir.
If only they had asked me.
If I would take your place,
I would have done so willingly,
Leaving you this world to grace.
You should have had so many years
To watch your life unfold,
And in the midst of this,
Watch me, your Mum, grow old!
I hope you're watching from above,
At the daily tasks I do,
And let there be no doubt at all,
I really do love you.

Forever in my Heart my Angel, my son , my best friend! xoxo
How much I miss you no one ever knows...
Day will pass away into years...
And we will think about those memories with silent tears....
Missing you my lovely angel.
Always MOM xoxo
Missing you my son Ray, my friend, my heart. Forever Mom xoxoxoxox
helps to fill the cracks and gives me peace.
See you again my Angel.
Perhaps my time seems all too brief;
Mom don’t lengthen your time with undue grief.
Lift up your heart and peace to thee,
God wanted you to know – I am free.
for Love itself lives on.
Cherished memories never fade,
because a loved one is gone.
Those we Love can never be,
more than a thought apart.
For as long as there is a memory,
they’ll live on in our heart.
I Still Hear Your Laughter See The Smile On Your Face
Miss you so much my son.. Until we meet again.
ALWAYS IN MY HEART! Forever and ever... Love Mom
SEE YOU LATER!

My 1st boyfriend
Such a huge heart. So amazing. Always smiling, even when you were not feeling it... I still have the ring you brought me from Florida and I treasure it to this day and forever. I will ALWAYS love you. Xoxoxo
You ARE my angel.
Your 40th Birthday
My nephew Raymond,
Today as we celebrate your 40th birthday I miss you! I miss you today, tomorrow and every day of my life. I miss talking to you, I miss your voice and your smile. I miss rubbing your head, you loved that. I miss your facial expressions like when Aunt Cathy walked in the room.... You would say, "here comes my crazy auntie". I have so many good memories that I charish each and every day, like when I took you to the shooting range and you heard a gun go off for the first time.... You should have seen your face, you looked up at me with those huge BIG eye balls, you totally freaked out, then we laughed together. I remember visiting you at the hospital and jumping up in the hospital bed with you, Too funny! God may have taken you from us to be with him, but I still have the great memories I shared with you that I carry with me each and every day and for that I am greatful.
Thank you for being a part of my life. I Love you so much!
You Aunt Cathy
