I found this poem today and it reminded me of something that Gaynor once said....thought I would share it with you all! Bev

If 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 care for me, and how much I care for 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 and 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 life, I’d always thought I didn’t want to die. I had so much to live for and so much yet to do. it seemed almost impossible that I was leaving you. I thought of all the love we shared and all the fun we had. If I could relive yesterday, I thought, just for a while, I’d say goodbye and hug you and maybe see you smile. But then I fully realised that this could never be, for emptiness and memories would take the place of me. And when I thought of worldly things that I’d miss come 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 great golden throne, He said, 'This is eternity and all I’ve promised you, Today your life on earth is past but here it’s starts anew. I promise no tomorrow, but today will always last. and since each day’s the same, there’s no longing for the past. But you have been so faithful, so trusting, so true. Though there were times you did some things you knew you shouldn’t do. And you have been forgiven and now at last you’re free. So won’t you come and take my hand and share my life with me?' So if tomorrow starts without me, don’t think we’re far apart, for every time you think of me, please know I’m in your heart.

What a lovely poem. I have printed it for a close friend who also lost someone yesterday. Linda

Morning Bev, I have only replied to one thread because I felt I would repeat myself in saying how much I shall miss and mourn a very dear friend but that has said everything that I am sure Gaynor would have said and I want to thank you for it. Beautiful words dedicated to a beautiful person starting her new life. Thank you Magsxxxxx

Thanks for that Bev, it is beautiful. Jack, and all your family, my thoughts are with you. Carole
