My deepest condolences. May these few words from the Holy Scriptures bring you comfort in your time of grief...
John 11:32-45
32 And so Mary, when she arrived where Jesus was and caught sight of him, fell at his feet, saying to him: “Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died.” 33 Jesus, therefore, when he saw her weeping and the Jews that came with her weeping, groaned in the spirit and became troubled; 34 and he said: “Where have YOU laid him?” They said to him: “Lord, come and see.” 35 Jesus gave way to tears. 36 Therefore the Jews began to say: “See, what affection he used to have for him!” 37 But some of them said: “Was not this [man] that opened the eyes of the blind man able to prevent this one from dying?”
38 Hence Jesus, after groaning again within himself, came to the memorial tomb. It was, in fact, a cave, and a stone was lying against it.39 Jesus said: “TAKE the stone away.” Martha, the sister of the deceased, said to him: “Lord, by now he must smell, for it is four days.”40 Jesus said to her: “Did I not tell you that if you would believe you would see the glory of God?” 41 Therefore they took the stone away. Now Jesus raised his eyes heavenward and said: “Father, I thank you that you have heard me. 42 True, I knew that you always hear me; but on account of the crowd standing around I spoke, in order that they might believe that you sent me forth.” 43 And when he had said these things, he cried out with a loud voice: “Laz´a·rus, come on out!” 44The [man] that had been dead came out with his feet and hands bound with wrappings, and his countenance was bound about with a cloth.

May your skies forever be blue,
and may your stars forever shine true.
May the kiss of the sun protect you from cold,
and light up your way, with fingers of gold.
May the kiss of the moon lull you softly to sleep,
bringing lots of dreams, ever gentle and sweet.
And may your stars forever shine true,
casting silvery magic on all that you do!!
This is my blessing for YOU!!!
Happy St. Patrick's Day
It's my 16th birthday and am in heaven, what a joy to partake.
My presents are flowers and rainbows and angel food cake....
Balloons will fill the streets for me, they float up through the clouds
And we have lots of clowns up here that make us laugh out loud.
I’ve made so many friends, you see We laugh and play and sing
We ride our bikes and play jump rope And sleep in Angel’s wings.
Soon Jesus will be joining me, It won't be long.
We'll all gather and pray for my loved ones on earth,
Who love me so much, from the day I was born.
You see, Birthdays in Heaven are full of happiness and cheer.
We celebrate with our loved ones, who proceeded us here.
And in conclusion We’ll have our cake and ice cream
And open gifts, surprise!
But we don’t blow out our candles here
Instead, they light the skies.
There comes a time for each for us
When nothing can be done
To ease the pain and sorrow
Of losing a beloved one
It's at these times we need
More than we ever could say
The quiet touch of understanding
The loving look or gaze
So rather than try to take away
The grieving feelings inside
Just know that I am thinking of you
And time will be your guide.
