We will remember...
and we will never forget....
The Angel that God called home tonight
because He said that it was Time...
Time to stop the fight
Time to stop the suffering....
Time to finally heal Anette
and give her a new body
a new smile
to let her live forever
until we meet again.
I cried.
We cry...
Our pain is not nearly that
which she endured
with grace and a loving smile
and always knowing that we loved her
and she loved us - more than we can begin to imagine.
I close my eyes - and I remember.
Her beauty and her grace.
Her kindness and her words
that always made me smile.
Her laugh and how she insisted
Yes - insisted - on our happiness and cheer.
I remember..
not the shell of pain and suffering
ravaged by this terrible disease...
No, I remember a graceful Beauty
Who will remain forever young...
And I know that as she was taken
quietly in the night
Removed from our arms by the Angels -
She is now held forever in peace
in the arms of God.
Goodbye, Anette....
We will love you forever.

To Tanya and family:
I hope this poem can give some comfort at your time of loss.
From:
Lesley Lynton and family
To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."
It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man."
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

Tanya,
I am so sorry to hear of your mother's passing; she is a woman I would have loved to have known personally. Knowing her through you, though, I know that her faith is what helped her defy the odds for so long. While it's no replacement for your loss, it's a source of peace and relief to know that she is now at Home with her Maker and no longer in pain. I know enough of her through you to know that she passed this faith along to you and your family, and that you can be with her again one day.
I wish there were something I could do. Please know that my prayers are with you and your family and I am holding you close, even if it's from afar.
Many blessings to you, and may God comfort your family as you face the days ahead.
Love,
Sarah
Who knew our beautiful, sweet friend could be
so strong. Ben and Anette are an inspiration to
us; her strength and his devotion. While driving
yesterday, before we knew of Anette’s passing,
Roy and I both at the same time found ourselves
talking about the good old times we had with
Ben and Anette. The four of us used to sit in a restaurant
and drink coffee for hours, talking about our hopes
and dreams and it seems we never ran out
of things to talk about.
Roy said: It was nice to have Anette
as an adopted little sister. It was great sharing
our stories at restaurants and sitting on their
front porch on 34th, talking about old times.
Ben, Tanya and family,
We grieve with you and wish we could be
there right now.
Now, Anette,
you are walking hand in hand with your mother
and father in heaven and when the time comes,
we will be walking with you in heaven.
We Love You Both,
Roy and Kathy
Ben, Tanya and David,
I hope this prayer brings you and your family Peace and Strength in this difficult time;
God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change. The courage to change the things I can and the wisdom to know the difference.
God Bless,
Patty Dulin
