Death has knocked once again on the door of my loved ones. My children's aunt, age 45, was killed in a head-on car crash June 24, 2007.  My hope and solace comes from my faith that life is eternal and I shall see my loved ones again.




O Death, Where Is Thy Sting

Death lives and breaths and draws its being
from seeing and believing in opportunities
to take and make a life its own
And own it does the power, no matter what the hour, 
to consume all that it ever needs to be victorious

But only for a blink of an eye...

O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?

Resurrection!

You have been carrying this terrible grief for one month Kathy! My deepest sympathy goes straight to you and your family. I am so sorry for your loss. Mike knows me well and was too sensitive to mention it to me before reading this. I am deeply moved by your words and every single one of them is correct. Death takes it's toll, when and wherever, but only for a blink, as you say. I am so sorry for your pain. You are right, you will meet again. Tai

My sympathies for this loss. As long as we remeber them always, love is truly stronger than death.

So sadly beautiful and gut wrenchingly true.
Tell me this was not Jenny.
