For me this story best describes the passing of a loved one.


Imagine standing on the shore as you look out to the horizon across the sea.
A sailboat is gracefully heading towards the sunset
On the horizon.

This sailboat is Mary
You can tell by the sail, it is unique in every way.
There is no other sail like this one.
It is as beautiful and unique as
Her soul.

WE watch and watch.

Sad, grieving, and missing her dearly.
We lose sight of her sail over the horizon,
We cry in disbelief,
There she goes, There she goes.

On the other side of the sea, waiting
Are all of Mary’s family and loved ones
Who passed on before her
They watch and watch, expecting

Until they finally see a glimpse of her sail coming from their horizon.
Excited, jubilant and so longing to see her
They cry
Here she comes, Here she comes.




Thank you for your sacrifice to show us the way Mary...Diana

Reminder

Time will heal your wound he said
You will see the day
When you've forgot the misery
That fate has sent your way.

That man of sage was almost right
With the words he said
Time has passed---my wound has healed
But oh---the scar it made!!!



A Q friend gave me this to read at my mothers services. I wanted to share it.

Go Rest High On That Mountain
-- By Vince Gill

I know your life on earth was troubled
And only you could know the pain
You weren't afraid to face the devil
You were no stranger to the rain

(Chorus)
Go rest high on that mountain
Now your work on earth is done
Go to heaven a-shoutin'
Love for the Father and the Son

Oh how we cried that day you left us
And gathered 'round your grave to grieve
Wish I could see the angel's faces
When they hear your sweet voice sing

Repeat chorus)

From CathiAnn on 12/29/2001 1:26:43 PM
Dear Mary,

You started here bravely facing that mountain,
putting one foot in front of the other,

you learned to walk and then to

dance,

and to fly
with such courage,
such incredible courage,
through 2 diseases, and
smiling at the bonfire,
through the pain
(we know you cried too, who wouldn't?)

And now your wings serve you well
once again
As they carry you to your final destination,

home.

May we be your air as our
spirits are with you,
and our love is with you,

May you be lifted by other wings,

ours.

We love you Mary...
good bye

A sad goodbye to a beautiful courageous lady. She tried so hard to inspire others to quit even through her personal pain and struggle. My heart goes out to her family.

She will suffer no more. Rest in Peace, Mary.

Love, Michele

May you finally rest in peace and know how many hearts you have touched. You can now fly with the other angels up above.

Please say hi to my son in heaven and tell him he is still very much missed as you are too. Thanks and God bless you now.

From JuneEliz on 12/29/2001 4:51:46 PM
Goodbye is too good a word...so I'll just bid Fare the Well...
ah Mary...God has a new angel...and you will be a very special Guardian Angel for someone...I know that...
I have a feeling you were a lot like my mother...and you chose your time very carefully and made sure that your family was as prepared for your death as possible...and only then were you able to let go and start a new journey...
I just went to the store and I noticed the moon...it's very full and bright...like you were...and it dawned that this particular full moon is you...guiding your family, guiding us, through the dark hours...(I hope this makes sense to you)...
and then I had a flashback...when we laid my mother to rest (she was cremeated) the moon was also full and bright...
there are a lot of people in your new world who will help you through this moment (my mother and father being two of them) and we will be down here for your family if they need us...
anyhow, thank you for your strength, your wisdom, and thank you for being a part of my Q world...even if it was only for a short time...
Sweet dreams my Q friend...Love, JuneEliz

I'm wishing to just sit here quietly and reflect, but please or please don't take my silence as indifference. I wish to say goodbye, but my words do not do justice to the situation.

'Bye, m'friend. Save me a place, okay?

For you Mary, one of my favorite songs for our final journey:

Swing Low, Sweet Chariot

Melody - Melody - Harry Thacker Burleigh, 191? (1866-1949)



|: Swing low, sweet chariot,
Comin' for to carry me home! :|
I looked over Jordan and what did I see,
Comin' for to carry me home!
A band of angels comin' after me,
Comin' for to carry me home!

|: Swing low, sweet chariot,
Comin' for to carry me home! :|

If you get there before I do,
Comin' for to carry me home,
Jess tell my friends that I'm acomin' too,
Comin' for to carry me home.

|: Swing low, sweet chariot,
Comin' for to carry me home! :|

I'm sometimes up and sometimes down,
Comin' for to carry me home,
But still my soul feels heavenly bound
Comin' for to carry me home!

I am not good with words, so I took something Val posted a while ago.
