My heart aches with your loss. My tears flow with the understanding that things will never be quite the same for you. I lost Mom a year ago today. The pain is still close to my heart, but she is always with me in a thousand lovely ways. I carry something in my wallet from her memorial service that I take out and read now and then to give me strength and peace. I hope these words will bring some measure of comfort to you as well when you think of Lisa.
"Death is nothing at all. I have only slipped away into the next room. Whatever we were to each other, we are still. Call me by my old familiar name. Speak of me in the easy way in which you always used to. Laugh as you always laughed at the little jokes we enjoyed together. Play, smile, think of me, pray for me. Let my name be the household word that it always was. Let it be spoken without effort. Life means all that it ever meant. It is the same as it ever was. There is absolutely unbroken continuity. Why should I be out of your mind because I am out of your sight? I'm but waiting for you for an interval, somewhere very near just around the corner. All is well. Nothing is past. Nothing is lost. One brief moment and all will be as it was before, better, infinitely happier and forever - we will be together."
With loving sympathy,
Rita

Location:Winchester, tnFor my mother. . . . .I love you mom, you will be truly missed, for all the things you taught me, all my boo boos that you kissed. For all the times you stood beside me, when none else was there, even after all the trouble that I caused, you told me that you would always care. Thank you mom, for having me and teaching me what I should do, cause God only knows where I would be if not because of you. even the spankings you gave me, (I used to think they were so bad) but I see the man that it made me (and for that I am trully glad). I wonder why God had to take you, and leave us all so alone, but I 'am sure when you talk to him, he'll say it was time to call you home. I hate to say goodbye to you, even if you had to go, it feels like we had much more to say to each other, so much we didnt know. I will always love you mom, you'll never leave my heart, even if I'am a million miles away we will never be far apart. For now I guess we will all cry a little and suffer through this pain an strife, but even though we mourn your death today, we will ALWAYS celebrate your life! 06-02-10. written by Robert Lewis. Dont worry mom cause "little Lisa" will know the wonderful and great person you were and you will always be close to me if I need you. . . .Wade
