[quote=Kevin - Memphis]When we lose someone we love, it seems that time stands still.

What moves through us is a silence, a quiet sadness, a longing for one more day, one more word, one more touch, we may not understand why one has left this earth so soon, or why this one left before you were ready to say good-bye, but little by little, begin to remember not just that he died, but that he lived. And that his life gave memories too beautiful to forget.

May the peace which comes from the memories of love shared comfort you now and in the days ahead.

Kevin, that was absolutely beautiful! It's sometimes hard to remember that part of living is dying and every day is a gift.

Christine, my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Today will be a difficult day. Take comfort knowing that we are all here thinking of you. Hugs.
