God bless you Sylvia and grant you peaceful rest. Although I am happy that you are out of your pain...I know only too well the pain you have lived through...and although it was sad and strange to delete your name from our address book and from our telephone, it is impossible to delete you and Steve from our hearts.
We seem to give them back to Thee, O God, who gave them to us,
yet, as Thou didst not lose them in the giving, so we do not lose them by their return.
Not as the world, givest Thou, oh lover of souls.
What Thou givest, Thou takest not away.
For what is Thine, is ours also, if we art Thine,
and life is immortal, and death is an horizon,
and an horizon is nothing, save the limit of our sight.
Lift us up, strong Son of God, that we may see further.
Cleanse our eyes, that we may know ourselves to be nearer to our loved ones, who art with Thee,
and while Thou dost prepare a place for us, prepare us for that happy place,
that where Thou art, we may be also, for evermore.
Amen
lots of love from Phil and Bob
