Gone Too Soon

 

 

Chris, we weren’t prepared for you to go

You were too full of life to be

Taken away from us so soon

It’s still hard to believe

 

How much we’ll miss your smile

And your laughter in our ears

Your absence leaves a hole in us

We’re filling with our tears

 

You taught us how to be our best

To in the moment live

To never hold a grudge for long

And loyal friendship give

 

Your presence was a light and joy

We never realized would someday end

Just like the brilliant falling star

That curved ‘round heaven’s bend

 

And though we cannot understand

The reasons God took you now

We’ll do our best to accept this loss

To carry on somehow…

 

Chris, we can’t bear to say goodbye

But you wouldn’t want us mourning in distress

So we’ll smile through these falling tears

Counting our time with you quite blessed

 

We will remember you forever

For you, our hearts will always have room

We loved you more than you will ever know

You left us way too soon! 








"This is a teardrop to be worn in memory of someone loved. The rose is a symbol of a love that never ends. 1 Corinthians 13: 8,13."




                                                                  I know how much you miss me,
                                                                  I see the pain inside your heart.
                                                                but, through our memories so dear..
                                                                          We're never far apart.














                                                                    " Thousands of candles
                                                                        can be lit by a single
                                                                         candle and the life
                                                                            of the candle
                                                                     will never be shortened. "

                                          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 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 when 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.

"Chris.........We remember them. At the rising of the sun and at its going down, we remember them.

At the blowing of the wind and the chill of winter, we remember them. At the opening of the buds and in the rebirth of spring, we remember them.

At the blueness of the skies and in the warmth of summer, we remember them. At the rustling of the leaves and in the beauty of autumn, we remember them.

At the beginning of the year and when it ends, we remember them.

As long as we live, they too will live; for they are now a part of us, as we remember them.

When we are weary and in need of strength, we remember them.

When we are lost and sick at heart, we remember them. When we have joy we crave to share, we remember them.

When we have decisions that are difficult to make, we remember them. When we have achievements that are based on theirs, we remember them.

As long as we live, they too will live; for they are now a part of us, as we remember them."

Go n-éirí an bóthar leat
Go raibh an ghaoth go brách ag do chúl
Go lonraí an ghrian go te ar d'aghaidh
Go dtite an bháisteach go mín ar do pháirceanna
Agus go mbuailimid le chéile arís,
Go gcoinní Dia i mbos A láimhe thú.

 

May the road rise to meet you
May the wind be always at your back
May the sun shine warm upon your face,
The rains fall soft upon your fields
And until we meet again
May God hold you in the hollow of His hand.

As I prepare to go to Orlando I remember my last trip there---with you.  The hotel sucked but we had fun and planned for future trips with family and friends. Little did we know it was not to be, that time was too short. At least now I can look back and smile and perhaps appreciate how precious life is. Hope you are at peace. And maybe someday we can laugh some more.

On Thanksgiving, taking Lucy for a walk after dinner, "where's the bunnies Lucy?"
God I miss her and I try not to be blue because she would want me to continue
with joy in my heart as memories keep surfacing........... 
Missy Always there, always helping... January 24, 2012
 
There are SO many wonderful times to remark on, so many times you helped me, sometimes in the smallest, most insignificant ways but every time made such a difference.  I have such physical problems and Chris was always thinking of how she could help me when we spent time together.  Years ago it was simple stuff like pulling on my arms to help me stretch it out.  Then there was me lugging massive pillows and memory foam to festivals to make my life a bit more comfortable, as well as helping me map out the best routes to walk that would decrease the amount of hills.  Most recently it was "switching kids" with me.  These are just a few of the physical things she helped me with and as I write this they seem so small, but they each meant so much to me!  
Chrissy also was so helpful and knowing with all the myriad of reasons she's had to give me advice over the years.  Everytime I have had a rough go of things in this life, I knew who to call, who would give me the right advice for me.  No matter what Chris had going on she always made time to help anyone who needed her, constantly giving of herself.  I am so proud of the woman Chris had become and so blessed to have walked along side her for these past 20 years!
Jen Sister January 18, 2012
 
I remember when I moved into the house in West Chester for my last semester of college and we spent the whole effin weekend putting together IKEA furniture and unpacking boxes. Our hands were so sore from the awful allen wrench. You were always so helpful. That's one of the most prominent characteristics about you. You were always willing to help me or a friend in need. Never complained, just came right in and started getting stuff done. That wasn't the first or last time you helped me move in or out of somewhere. I could always always always count on you. You never let me down ever. You were always there for me.

Hendrick Polanco My deepest condolences April 17, 2014
 

My deepest condolences.  May these few words from the Holy Scriptures bring you comfort in your time of grief...

John 11:32-45

32 And so Mary, when she arrived where Jesus was and caught sight of him, fell at his feet, saying to him: “Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died.” 33 Jesus, therefore, when he saw her weeping and the Jews that came with her weeping, groaned in the spirit and became troubled; 34 and he said: “Where have YOU laid him?” They said to him: “Lord, come and see.” 35 Jesus gave way to tears. 36 Therefore the Jews began to say: “See, what affection he used to have for him!” 37 But some of them said: “Was not this [man] that opened the eyes of the blind man able to prevent this one from dying?”

38 Hence Jesus, after groaning again within himself, came to the memorial tomb. It was, in fact, a cave, and a stone was lying against it.39 Jesus said: “TAKE the stone away.” Martha, the sister of the deceased, said to him: “Lord, by now he must smell, for it is four days.”40 Jesus said to her: “Did I not tell you that if you would believe you would see the glory of God?” 41 Therefore they took the stone away. Now Jesus raised his eyes heavenward and said: “Father, I thank you that you have heard me. 42 True, I knew that you always hear me; but on account of the crowd standing around I spoke, in order that they might believe that you sent me forth.” 43 And when he had said these things, he cried out with a loud voice: “Laz´a·rus, come on out!” 44The [man] that had been dead came out with his feet and hands bound with wrappings, and his countenance was bound about with a cloth. Jesus said to them: “Loose him and let him go.”

45 Therefore many of the Jews that had come to Mary and that beheld what he did put faith in him;
