Condolence: My heart goes out to all of you and I wish there was something I could say to help ease the pain, but I know there isn't.

Willie…..I am so very sorry for your tremendous loss, know that my prayers and love are with you.

Bubba and Andy...The pain of losing a sister is immeasurable and so difficult to accept the reality of the loss. It is a pain that can not be explained and will never truly go away, but will ease with time.

The poem below is something that brought me comfort when I lost my sister and I hope will help each of you in your grief.

I Never Saw Your Wings

How is it that I never saw your wings when you were here with me?
When you closed your eyes and soared to the Heavens I could hear the faint flutter of your wings as you left.
Your body no longer on this side.
Your spirit here eternally I see your halo shine.
I close my eyes and see the multi-coloured wings
surround me in my saddest moments and my happiest times.

Sister my angel God has given you your assignment
always my sister forever my angel.
You fly into my dreams and when I am asleep
I feel your wings brush against my face wiping away the tears I shed since I can no longer hold
you in my arms but in my heart.

You earned those wings dear sister and you will always be my angel eternal.
