In Memory
Her Benevolence, The BEAST
thoughts.
Shay Valerie Oldaker - you fought bravely.
Your courage is inspiration to those left behind.
I know that your mother and sister are so very
proud of the person you were -- and that their
hearts are breaking at the loss of your presence.
A few words of poetry, from here and there:
"...don't cry for my leaving
I'm not leaving
I'm arriving at eternal love..."
(Rumi)
"Death be not proud.....
One short sleepe past, wee wake eternally,
And death shall be no more; death thou shalt die."
[John Donne]
"Lo! some we loved, the loveliest and best
That Time and Fate of all their Vintage prest,
Have drunk their Cup a Round or two before,
And one by one crept silently to Rest."
[The Rubaiyat of Omar Khyyam 21]
"Go back to the joy of your dwellings and you will find there
That which Death cannot remove from you and me."
[Kahlil Gibran]
Missy and Cassie - there *will* come a time when the
hurt lessens....
