For my dear sister, in remembrance of her

This is for my sister, Marie.

The Magnolia is from her garden, and I took it last Saturday when I went up to see her for the last time.

After many years of sickness, she is now free and running and dancing happily and in pain no more.

And her new garden is one hundred thousand times one hundred thousand times better than her one down here.

Hello Janice

Simply beautiful image. My heartfelt sympathy to you and your familiy at this time my friend.

A special poem for you my friend


The Rose Beyond the Wall

A rose once grew where all could see
Sheltered beside a garden wall
And, as the days past swiftly by
It spread its branches, straight and tall

One day, a beam of light shone through
A crevice that had opened wide
The rose bent gently toward its warmth
Then passed beyond to the other side

Now, you who deeply feel its loss
Be comforted, the rose blooms there
It’s beauty even greater now
Nurtured by God’s own loving care.

kind regards Helen

Hi Janice,
A beautiful flower. I am sorry for your loss. May this poem give you comfort. Julie

His Garden

God looked around His garden
And found an empty place
He then looked down upon the earth
And saw your beautiful face

He put His arms around you
And lifted you to rest
God's garden must be beautiful
He always takes the best.

Although He knew you were happy here
But He needed you with Him
He told you that you'd never again fear
Although you'd leave this earth dim

It broke our hearts to lose you
But you didn't go alone
For part of us went with you
The day God called you home

hello Janice,
a sister is a very special person. I can understand how much you must love her. Your tribute goes right to my heart as I have a sister who is precious to me.
There is a line from a poem by Philip Larkin that i hope you will like -
"What will remain is love"
Bev

Dear Janice,
Very brave of you to post a picture on TL while your mind must be thinking of other, more impotatnt things. I have the impression you have the faith your sister Marie is at a better place now. Hereby I wish you all the best to bear the los. You are in my memory dear Janice. A virtual hand on your shoulder from a friend from Holland.

A beautiful image Janice and my deepest sympathy.

Death came with friendly care;
The opening bud to heaven conveyed,
And bade it blossom there.

Dear Janice,

Just got home and this is the first image that I click on in my alert.

We are very sorry to hear about your sister, and I feel guilty that I am not there to be with you.

You take good care my dear, like I wrote in our email to you, "be happy for her, I am sure that's what she want, she finally get to be free from her body and like you said, new day have begin, for her is the samething, her new life with god is just the beginning. I am sure he will take good care of her while she is there." I am sorry my dear friend, I am lost of words at the moment.

Beautiful tribute, I am sure she will love it. Our thought and sympathy is with you and your family, take good care my dear.

Hugs from UK
Sweety, Markus and Zak

So sorry to hear of your sister's passing Janice. I lost my oldest sister a few years ago. She and I were close. I know I'll see her again someday as she knew the Lord. Praying for you.

Hello Janice!

Lovely though for your beloved sister. If I may, one of the most adorable song I have heard about the loss of a family member.

Let me offer you this one.

Fly .
Sincerely,
Robert
FLY

Fly, fly little wing
Fly beyond imagining
The softest cloud, the whitest dove
Upon the wind of heaven's love
Past the planets and the stars
Leave this lonely world of ours
Escape the sorrow and the pain
And fly again

Fly, fly precious one
Your endless journey has begun
Take your gentle happiness
Far too beautiful for this
Cross over to the other shore
There is peace forevermore
But hold this mem'ry bittersweet
Until we meet

Fly, fly do not fear
Don't waste a breath, don't shed a tear
Your heart is pure, your soul is free
Be on your way, don't wait for me
Above the universe you'll climb
On beyond the hands of time
The moon will rise, the sun will set
But I won't forget

Fly, fly little wing
Fly where only angels sing
Fly away, the time is right
Go now, find the light

Lyrics by Jean-Jacques Goldman - 1995
Céline Dion - Album D'Eux ( in French )

French version: Vole

Sincerely
Robert
