John & Family;
I am so sorry to read about the loss of your mother. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
Pastor John, Patty and family; you are in my thoughts and prayers.
My deepest condolences to you John, Elaine and your children. Aunt Dorothy was a lovely person. I’m sure she will be missed by all who knew her. When I read the news I couldn’t help but think of dad (Ross) her brother. He admired her greatly. If it would be alright, I would like to attend her internment in Waterloo in the summer of 2019. Until then, hugs to all. I also would like to share one of my favourite poems by Mary Elizabeth Frye regarding loss of a loved one. I hope it offers some comfort.
Do not stand at my grave and weep
I am not there, I do not sleep
I am in a thousand winds that blow
I am the softly falling snow
I am the gentle showers of rain
I am the fields of ripening grain
I am in the morning hush
I am in the graceful rush
Of beautiful birds in circling flight
I am the star shine of the night
I am in the flowers that bloom
I am in a quiet room.
I am in the birds that sing
I am in each lovely thing
Do not stand at my grave and cry
I am not there, I did not die.
Until you meet your dear loved on again, her Memory with be Eternal.
Thinking of you.
Susie and Brian
