Guestbook
I will miss our good times together
You will feel me if you close your eyes: If you close your eyes and listen to nothing you will fill me. When the sun shines and warms your face you will feel me. If you look up into the sky and see clouds against the bluest sky you have ever seen, you will see them, as gods wondereous creation. And you will see them as I see them now. When you look at the clouds feel my peace, as I feel it now.You will remember my strong arms that folded you once, they will embrace you again.When it is your time to see me again, I will lift you in my arms, and carry you to those who await. That is my mission of God. Though you greatly miss me now, you will be in glory, and I shall wait, this is my mission. Close your eyes, be still, and you shall feel me.
Stacy, Luke and Cossette…Our thoughts,love and prayers to you all. Till we see you, let us know if we can do anyting. Our Love, Wayne and Mary Ann
