Mary
Even though our families never met - my heart goes out to you all. People are brought together here & that may be something that saves some people-I appreciate you visiting my mom's site. Our family was & is as a close family like yours - my mom was & still is our center - as Josh is with you! I like to think that Claire & Josh came accross each other - my mom would like him - she'd take him under her wing - she was that way with everyone she met. Your son is so handsome - & that smile just tells me how friendly & loving he is - I will never say was - I believe they continue to smile on us & take care of us! I know that there isn't much anyone can say to make the hurt go away - it never does - but we go on with the hope of being reunited with our loved ones. Take care Mary - & I'm sending all our angels a big hug & kiss!

SENDING LOTS OF HUGS AND KISSES

There's a place
I've never seen
beyond this world we know,
A place I've only heard of
but someday hope to go -
It's not on any map,
there are no roads
to take me there,
But it's a place of perfect peace
where hearts are free from care.
And though I understand
some may be saddened
when I leave,
One day, we all will meet again -
that's what I believe...
When it's time to travel there,
I think I'll wear a smile,
I'll say good-bye to those I love,
but only for a while,
Knowing there are others
who have traveled there alone,
Who cannot wait to greet me
and to whisper "welcome home."

You will always remain in my heart and will never be forgotten Josh, you or your Mom!
"When it seems that our sorrow is too great
to be borne, let us think of the great family
of the heavy-hearted into which our grief
has given us entrance, and inevitably, we
will feel about us their arms, their
sympathy, their understanding."
