Our grief knows no bounds...

My heart grieves with you -- but we who lose our most beloved, so that they may dwell in the Shelter of the Lord, have tremendous Faith that He will see us through our temporal woe and that we will see Him and those who were our partners, friends and lovers ... in His Place.

In almost seven years, I still reach for his hand and miss the warmth of his presence, but I celebrate our Faith and comfort myself in the sureness of his being with Him.

It is impossible for me to have complete understanding, because I am only human -- but I am warmed by the Holy Spirit in my Faith, as I am sure that your raw wounds of loneliness and loss will also be healed through Him.

Make your final send off for Donna a real Celebration ... it will be among your most joyful (and Faith filled) demonstrations of love.

You, who have given so much to all of us ... have never touched me more deeply ... than in your own demonstrations of your great, loving and abiding Faith ... through this painful ordeal.

For the great and blessed person of yourself; for your loss of Donna, who you grew up with and was therefore a part of you; for all of your family in your loss ... We will be with you on Saturday to Celebrate and to Believe in that Eternal and Better Haven ... Praise God!

Donna has entered Eternity -- she is free of pain and filled with His Presence!

Those who remin in earthly bondage, have a wonderful treasure trove of memory and shared love to keep us warm and dry all tears as we await His Arms and live with certainty that we will join those we love ... At His Pleasure, In His Service ... and in His Time.
