Poem Artwork

... in lieu of sending flowers,
 all I have to offer are words.
Inadequate, tear stained, but
let me try:  please accept my
condolences.  I am so sorry.

If there's anything you need,
don't hesitate to call.  Ask.

That's what friends are for.
Remember this:  you are
loved; you are thought of;
you are in my prayers.  Here
for you.  Know I care ...

(c) 2008, Karla Dorman (9/8)

This was given to me by sister in law after Tom died. Hopefully it will ease some of the burden on J. Allen too.
I'M Free
Don't grieve for me, for now I'm free;
I'm following the path God laid for me.
I took his hand when I heard him call;
I turned my back and left it all.
I could not stay another day,
To laugh, to love. to work or play.
Tasks left undone must stay that way;
I found that place at the close of day.
If my parting has left a void,
Tjhen fill it with remembered joy.
A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss;
Ahh yes, these things, I too will miss.
Be not burdened with times of sorrow,
I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow.
My life's been full, I savored much;
Good friends, good times, a loved one's touch.
Perhaps my times seems all too brief;
Dont' lengthen it now with undue grief. Lift up your heart and share with me,
God wanted me now, he set me free.
It is somewhat a comfort but we still must grieve. My contribution to the card for him. Signed Lois J. Christensen

God Bless You, Karla.. He can always count on you and Karen to carry the Banner.

A very beautiful & moving graphic thatreflects your hearts of pure lovingkindness for our dear friend, Allen.

As you know, the pain of the physical loss is hardest. The love of Christ, through friends like you, will sustain him.

And even in the midst if this profound sorrow, we can still rejoice because precious Leah LOVED JESUS, and she is out of suffering, out of pain, out of body - and into the Arms of the LORD!

Love & Blessings, Sister
