A Letter from Me


We had a Celebration of Life Service for my husband last Sunday, July 22, 2018.  We had a 20 min slideshow of wonderful photos, followed by a few words from family members.
I shared this poem with everyone.    


Dear Jerry,
Three days after you passed, I saw a wonderful sight,
On our backyard birdbath, a cardinal, red and bright,
Was he there by chance or purposefully visiting me?
As he took a long cool bath, I watched intently,
I think he was there to bring me gladness,
To give me comfort and hope, not sadness,
For you are rejoicing with the saints and never growing weary,
In a realm of great love and peace where everyone is cheery,
In the presence of God, your eternal resting place,
But I do miss that beautiful smile upon your bearded face,
Our lives changed tremendously in less than one full year,
God’s grace was sufficient, and your faith was stronger than fear,
I admired your courage and resolve, your testimony was known,
You said to me from your heart: “Sometimes God’s will is not our own”,
I’ll always remember those words; they were so profound,
As I picture you being you, on Heaven’s holy ground.
Love,
Tammy
