The song for memorials

YouTube - Johnny Cash & Joni Mitchell - The Long Black Veil

I found out about a half hour ago, but I waited for you to post it Alty as it should be.

I am empty now, I feel a loss as if a family member had passed. I will never forget Jo (Starby). She was granted the peace that she needed.

I never knew her personally... but just reading from you guys, and reading her old posts, I fell in love with her... and while I never got the chance to accually meet her, I am sure we will get to meet someday... God bless you jo, and I love you.

I'd like to believe that our little duck is at this moment finding ways to dive bomb us in the castle.

If she could get internet in heaven you know she'd be here in a heart beat.

I expected this, for a while now, still, it's hard to accept now that it's finally happened.

She's at peace, I envy her that.

I will always miss her.

Stringer dear, I was hoping to put together a little booklet of some of her better posts. Something to send to her family, to show them who she was here, who she was to us, the fun we had, the laughter she gave us.

I'll send it to you and anyone else that wants it when I'm done. May take a while.

I'm going to start another thread, in tribute to Starby.

I'll post the link here when I'm done.

Thank you everyone. Hugs to you all.

"Do not stand at my grave and weep;
I am not there. I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow.
I am the diamond glints on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain.
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awaken in the morning's hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry;
I am not there. I did not die."

Thank you, this is beautiful Alty.

Thank you, I would treasure it.

Aww, bye bye Jo... I'll miss you forever... :(

Be happy now, for you are free, you can fly across the sky, and soar through the clouds,
Be happy now, for you are free of pain, of disease which you endured on the Earth,
Be happy now, for you are now with God, who'll take care of you.

Don't worry, we won't ever forget you,
Don't worry, you will always be in our hearts.

Oh, Jo, you were a friend to me,
Was here the little time I could be here,
Was here every time your help was requested,
And touched the heart of many a people.

You'll forever be here, in our hearts.
Oh Jo, I'll miss you forever. :(

I think the little booklet is a beautiful and very thoughtful thing to do for Jo and her family and friends.

God bless you Alty, Jo couldn't have had a better friend.

Unky, you are a good guy, this is very thoughtful and endearing.

Oh, I was typing, then several posts appeared.

That was beautiful Alty, and the booklet, I think that's a good idea too. :)

I'll miss her :(

I'm so sorry Alty, thank you for letting us know.

Don't rush with the tribute, do it when you feel ready.

Jo knows we love her and she would understand.

She's at peace now, that's all everyone wanted.

I myself don't quite know how I managed to write that... I just typed, and here it was...

I hope she's happy where she's now. :(

Love you all.

Hey, I was just wondering... Did I typed that right?

"I'll miss you Jo"

Or is it the other way round? :confused:I always get confused with that word :(

I don't think there are any tears left Shazzy, I cried them all on the phone with her brother.

I feel bad about that. The poor guy calls me, someone he's never talked to, to tell me the news and I break down. I should have been comforting him, instead he comforted me.

I feel really bad about that.

Darn Alty. :(

Now the tears are coming in spurts. I've cried so much over this, for months now, but still, there are tears.

I just told Jared, his words "She's in heaven now, right? She'll be able to do all the things she couldn't. You should be happy for her mommy".

He's right.

That's sweet :)
And he's right. She in a much happier place now.

Don't feel bad about crying, never ever.

Virtual Greenie Shazzy :)
