From Where I Rest

I am still here, though you cannot see, In the quiet moments, I am near to thee. A whisper in the wind, a warmth in the sun, I lived my days loving you, one by one. I worked with my hands, I toiled with care, Yet the greatest joy was always to share. A husband, a father, a grandfather too, Every heartbeat of mine was devoted to you. I may have been quiet, yet my love was loud, Rooted in laughter, in hugs, and proud. In the life we built, in the love we knew, My soul still walks each path with you. Do not grieve for the work I leave behind, My legacy lives in hearts intertwined. Carry my lessons, my kindness, my cheer, And know I am with you, always near. Though my hands are still, my love will not cease, I am in your hearts, I am in your peace. So smile, remember, and let tears fall if they must, For I am with you, in love, in trust.

Rev. Eric Jones

I will cry for you because of the special times we shared. I love you so much and for me, I know you really cared. I will miss you very much because whenever I needed you, you were there for me, when you needed me, I was there for you too. Death comes and takes our loved ones away; but God promises that we will meet again another day in a beautiful place where always the sun will shine and there will be no storms or rain, just love and happiness; nothing will be the same. When you reach the other side, tell our loved ones that beneath our wings love abides. Say hello to your mother and father and my mother and father too. Tell them we are also coming, and say hello for us, to all the others. Let us thank God for all the good times, the not so good times and all the times we shared, we are all so thankful, for we are a family who really cared. So my sweet husband, even though we will cry, we will find strength in knowing we'll all be together in the sweet bye and bye.
