Another Angel in Heaven Today

just another angel gone to heaven....
just another gone home....gone home

deb this is an ole southern song....
my heart goes out to you....

this is a poem that I said at my Mom's funeral...

Don't cry for me.when I am gone
For I am heaven bound...
Dont send me flowers that decorate my grave..
For I am heaven bound...
Don't sing sad songs...
For I am heaven bound..
Angels gather around me for
I am heaven bound
Tonight I dine at my Father's table
For I am in heaven..nor more pain...no more sorrow
For I am in heaven and heaven is will I will be..

Deb,

My thoughts and my heart is with you and your family during this time of loss. I will say prayers for your pain to beeased.

I am so sorry for the loss of your uncle.  A death of a loved one is so hard.  My prayers are with you and your family.  We love you, Michael

All your kind thoughts are a true comfort to me.  John was ready to go and I know he's surrounded by loved ones who have gone before-including a very special spotty dog who went a few months ahead to wait for him.  It is strangely comforting to know we have friends and family waiting in the next step from this world.  I will miss my Uncle, but a part of him is always with me.  This is not an unexpected death-and we had plenty of time to say what we wanted to say-and for that I am very grateful because I know a lot people don't get to have that.

He was fairly isolated for the last 20 years, but in the last 2 years he had family around him and he died knowing he was not alone and very much loved-and that is what I wish everyone could experience. 

Dear Debra,
This has been such a hectic day for me, so this is the first time I was able to get on the forum, to find your post. I am so sorry for the passing of your Uncle John. How precious, though, that the last few years of his life were filled with family. It must have thrilled him, too, to see what an amazing transformation you've experienced since your WLS and to know he had a part in that. May God's most precious comfort be yours at this time.
Blessings,
Mary

Deb, Please accept my sincere condolences. It's nice to have angels looking over us. RIta

Rita, I thought of you a lot today.  It IS nice to have our own special angels and to know they are beyond pain and sorrow now.

Hoodoo - I'm so sorry for your loss.  I know it's hard to lose someone you love dearly.  Maybe it's him giving your the domestic urges to cook?  Anyway, glad his little puppy was there to welcome him to a cloud in heaven!

I think the turkey is no accident-it will give me something to do tomorrow and fill the house full of good smells on a cold day-maybe even a snowy day......brrrrr.
