[Guest]

most of us know by now shes been buried today. I cant think of much to do to mark her passing but I love this poem, so thinking of you Mary Ann, rest in peace.

Do Not Stand At My Grave and Weep

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.

my little tribute to cowgirl........................................... ....................................... Thought-provoking and inspiring ? think about your dash.

The Dash Poem, by Linda Ellis

I read of a man who stood to speak
At the funeral of a friend
He referred to the dates on her tombstone
From the beginning to the end

He noted that first came the date of her birth
And spoke the following date with tears,
But he said what mattered most of all
Was the dash between those years

For that dash represents all the time
That she spent alive on earth.
And now only those who loved her
Know what that little line is worth.

For it matters not how much we own;
The cars, the house, the cash,
What matters is how we live and love
And how we spend our dash.

So think about this long and hard.
Are there things you?d like to change?
For you never know how much time is left,
That can still be rearranged.

If we could just slow down enough
To consider what?s true and real
And always try to understand
The way other people feel.

And be less quick to anger,
And show appreciation more
And love the people in our lives
Like we?ve never loved before.

If we treat each other with respect,
And more often wear a smile
Remembering that this special dash
Might only last a little while.

So, when your eulogy is being read
With your life?s actions to rehash
Would you be proud of the things they say
About how you spent your dash
RIP cowgirl

Her death did not feel real. After reading her obituary just now, it does feel real.

I'm so sad that she was in so much emotional pain. This is truly sad.

Limers and Mario - lovely poems.
I just hope her sons can come to terms with this...and overcome it. Too much for kids to have to go through.
I hope MaryAnne is at peace.

While Waiting for Thee
Don't weep at my grave,
For I am not there,
I've a date with a butterfly
To dance in the air.
I'll be singing in the sunshine,
Wild and free,
Playing tag with the wind,
While I'm waiting for thee.
The Comfort and Sweetness of Peace
After the clouds, the sunshine,
after the winter, the spring,
after the shower, the rainbow,
for life is a changeable thing.
After the night, the morning,
bidding all darkness cease,
after life's cares and sorrows,
the comfort and sweetness of peace.

Soz im a day late! But,

I would like to share this....

when i must leave you for a little while,
Please do not grieve and shed wild ters
And hug your sorrow to you through the years,
But start out bravely with a gallant smile;
And for my sake and in my name
Live on and dl all things the same,
Feed not loeliness on empty days,
But fill each waking hour in useful ways,
Reach out your hand in comfort and in cheer
And i in turn will comfort you and hold you near;
And never despair or be afraid never'
For I am waithing for you in heaven

Love u MA

This is the first time I have been able to post on a thread for MA.

My heart has been so heavy with her loss and what her family must be going through.

Thank you for this thread, Limers, and all the wonderful posts, everyone.

I hope MA is in a wonderful peaceful place and her children can get past this someday and look back and remember their mama in the good times.

Love,
Cindi
