Seems not long ago, we were running around the neighborhood in & out of your house. As time flies, we cherish those precious memories & the people we shared them with. God gained another angel. May he wrap his loving arms around her family. & comfort them in this time of loss. Memories are never forgotten, so neither will you be.

When Tomorrow Starts Without Me
When tomorrow starts without me,
and I’m not there to see,
if the sun should rise and find your eyes,
all filled with tears for me.
I wish so much you wouldn’t cry,
the way you did today,
while thinking of the many things,
we didn’t get to say.
I know how much you love me,
as much as I love you,
and each time that you think of me,
I know you’ll miss me too.
But when tomorrow starts without me,
please try to understand,
that an angel came and called my name, a
nd took me by the hand,
and said my place was ready ,
in heaven far above,
and that I’d have to leave behind
all those I dearly love.
But as I turned to walk away,
a tear fell from my eye,
for all through life, I’d always thought,
I didn’t want to die.
I had so much to live for,
so much yet to do,
it seemed almost impossible,
that I was leaving you.
I thought of all the yesterdays,
the good ones and the bad,
and of all the love we shared,
and all the fun we had.
But then I fully realized,
that this could never be,
for emptiness and memories,
would take the place of me.
If I could relive yesterday,
just even for a while,
I’d say good-bye and kiss you
and maybe see you smile.
And when I thought of worldly things
I might miss tomorrow,
I thought of you, and when I did
my heart was filled with sorrow.
But when I walked through heaven’s gates,
I felt so much at home,
when God looked down and smiled at me,
from his golden throne.
He said, “This is eternity
and all I’ve promised you ,
for life on earth is past
and here it starts anew.
You have been faithful,
so trusting and true,
though there were times
you did some things
you knew you shouldn’t do.
You have been forgiven
and now at last your free,
so take my hand
and share my life with me.”
So, ‘when tomorrow starts without me,
’Don’t think we’re far apart,
For every time you think of me,
I’m right there in your heart.
