"Let not your hearts be troubled:  ye believe in God, believe also in me.  In my Father's house are many mansions.  If it were not so, I would have told you.  I go to prepare a place for you.  And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and recieve you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also." 
John 14:1-3

Two wonderful people who are greatly missed.
God's Garden

God looked around his garden,
And saw an empty space.
He looked down from Heaven,
And saw your smiling face.

He put his arms around you,
And whispered, "Come to Rest."
His garden must be beautiful,
He picks only the very best.

It broke our hearts to loose you,
But you did not go alone.
A part of us went with you,
The day God called you home.

Our thoughts are always with you,
A million times we've cried.
And if our love could have saved you,
you never would have died.
A poem for my grandfather
My Grandfather with his two Daugthers and Wife at their 50th Wedding Anniversary Party.
Now I Lay Me Down To Sleep
Gwen Tupper

Now I lay me down to sleep,
My body at rest
My soul at peace.

When you wake and find me gone,
Please take care - I've made it home.

My mom and dad have gone on to be with the Lord, you see,
Now we're together - They've been waiting for me.

What a joyous reunion with family and friends,
Laughter and Love, a new life to begin.

I know you'll miss me, hold tight and be strong,
We shall all see each other again and it won't be long.

I've come to the Lord and now I truly understand,
That what has happened to me was in the Master's Plan.

Save your tears, I hurt no more,
I'm with the Lord on Heaven's Shores.

Now I lay me down to sleep,
My body at rest,
My soul at peace ...
