In Loving Memory...

[Kaz]

*HUGS* Lioness.
I've never lost a family member that I knew well, so I can't imagine what you're going through... I'm so sorry.

Thank you, especially Legolas, that song did make me cry a bit, but it was very beautiful and moving.

I remember losing my grandad, and how upset I was.

The following lyrics were wrote about a friend that died:

J.A.R. (Jason Andrew Relva)

My friend drove off the other day,
And now he's gone and all they say,
Is you gotta live cause life goes on
But now I see i'm mortal too
I can't live my life like you
Gotta live it up while life goes on

And I think it's alright
That I do what I like cause that's the way I wanna live
And so I give
And i'm still giving


And now I wonder about my friend
If he gave all he could give
Cause he lived his life like I live mine
If you could see inside my head
Then you'd start to understand
The things I value in my heart

You know that,
I know that,
Your watching me


Gotta make a plan
Gotta do what's right
Can't run around in circles
If you wanna build a life
But I don't wanna make a plan
For a day far away
While i'm young and while i'm able
All I wanna do is....

I hope that makes u feel slightly better in some way...

This one is just about trying to hold on...in your time of need:

Hold On
My mental stability reaches its bitter end
As I step to the edge
Of a shadow of a doubt
With my conscience beating
Like the pulse of a drum
that hammers on and on
As I reach the break of day
As the sun beats down
On the halfway house
Has my conscience beating
The sound in my ear
The will to persevere
As I reach the break of day

When you've lost all hope
And excuses
And the cheapskates and the losers
Nothing's left to cling on to
You gotta hold on...
Hold on to yourself

A cry of hope, a plea for peace
And my conscience beating
It's not what I want
For it's all that I need
To reach the break of day
So I run to the edge
Beyond the shadow of a doubt
With my conscience bleeding
Here lies the truth
The lost treasures of my youth
As i hold to the break of day

If neither of these make any difference, you know I am one of your greatest friends Lioness, email me, and we can talk as we always do.

[Jorath Calar]

I'm so sorry for your loss Lioness.

[Campino]

Lioness,

I'm sure there are many shoulders here if you need one.
Mine is available too.Be strong.

My deepest sympathy

[Lioness]

I appreciate all your sympathies.

Thanx Brad, those are wonderful. [img]smile.gif[/img] It's great to have you around.

[Melusine]

I'm very sorry to hear about your loss, Lioness, and I wish you strength and courage for the coming time...*big hug*

Since some others posted stuff as well, I'll write out the poem I recited on my own grandmother's funeral. She died over a year and a half ago and I know how it feels, Lioness.
Hope it will give you some consolation:


Do not stand at my grave and weep
I am not there, I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow,
I am the diamond's glint on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain,
I am the gentle autumn's rain.
When you awaken in the morning's hush,
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circle flight
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry
I am not there; I did not die.

[Lioness]

Thank you Mel, that's truly beautiful, and so true.

That was a beautiful poem Melusine, beautiful songs posted by Legolas and Lavindathar too, I doubt that it's possible to find many other places on the web where there are people who are as sympathetic and nice as this.
