Those we hold dear never truly leave us. They live on in the kindness they showed, the comfort they shared and the love they brought into our lives. May the healing touch of time ease the sorrow you bear now and may the memories you cherish give you comfort, courage, strength and peace as you return to life’s routine.
Tim was always a wise cracker, loved his sense of humor and he will forever be missed. My heartfelt condolences to his wife and all kids and grandkids. I want to share a poem that was included in my sisters remembrance because it brought some comfort to me. I’M FREE Don’t grieve for me, for now I’m free. I’m following the path God laid for me. I took his hand when I heard him call. I turned my back and left it all. I could not stay another day to laugh, to love, to work or play. Tasks left undone must stay that way, I found that place at the close of the day. If my parting has left a void, then fill it with remembered joy. A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss, ah yes, these things, I too, will miss. Be not burdened with times of sorrow, I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow. My life’s been full, I savored much, good friends, good times, a loved one’s touch. Perhaps my time seemed all to brief; don’t lengthen it now with undue grief. Lift up your heart and share with me, God wanted me now, He set me free.
