Lynne was using that picture as her computer background when I was with her early in July. She told me to notice that a piece of pie was missing. The morning after she made the pies she had a craving and went ahead and indulged in a piece for breakfast, even though the pies were for a special dinner. She knew how to live, and yes, she was a fabulous baker!<BR/>BevAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32309235.post-15271209144531116182007-07-17T12:36:00.000-04:002007-07-17T12:36:00.000-04:00Patty, Lucy and Nathaniel,I am so sorry to hear ab...Patty, Lucy and Nathaniel,<BR/>I am so sorry to hear about Lynne's passing.

I hope the following will bring comfort to you as it did for me as I readjusted to the passing of my loved ones. <BR/>When Tomorrow Starts Without Me<BR/>By: Rev. Russ Chamberlain<BR/>In memory of his parents and grandparents<BR/> <BR/>When tomorrow starts without me, and I'm not there to see; If the sun should rise and find your eyes filled with tears for me.<BR/><BR/><BR/>I know how much you love me, as much as I love you, And each time that you think of me, I know you'll miss me too.<BR/><BR/> <BR/>But when tomorrow starts without me, please try to understand, That an angel came and called my name, and took me by the hand, And said my place was ready, in heaven far above, And that I'd have to leave behind all those I dearly love. I thought of all the yesterdays, the Good ones and the bad, I thought of all the times we shared, and all the fun we had had. <BR/><BR/><BR/>When I walked through heaven's gates, I felt so much at home. When God looked down and smiled at me, From His great golden throne, He said, "This is eternity, and all I've promised you." Today for life on earth is past, but Here it starts anew. I promise no tomorrow, but today will always last, and since each day's the same day, there's no longing for the past. But you have been so faithful, so trusting and so true. So won't you take my hand and share your life with me? For I have a room that is ready for you to call your own for all eternity and family members and friends just waiting for you to see. <BR/> So when tomorrow starts without me, don't think we're far apart, for every time you think of me, I'm right here, in your heart.<BR/><BR/>May the Comforter that God has promised to send to us all be present when you need the comforting. You will be in my thorughts and [prayers-Revruss5257Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32309235.post-14469658382326177162007-07-17T11:53:00.000-04:002007-07-17T11:53:00.000-04:00Judy, I'm sorry I didn't mention you, but of cours...Judy, I'm sorry I didn't mention you, but of course you were another angel there and always can be relied on to be a friend until the end! <BR/>The Rakeii lady, who I never even knew her name was a godsend to help see Lynne through.<BR/>And if I missed anyone, please excuse my insensitivities, as the list goes on and on!

I know I have seen it in all of Patty and Lynne's friends, in all aspects of their life and especially in their church community of friends. This is a community like none other,who rise to every occasion with love and concern. Their understanding and abundance is plentiful and I am continually in awe of their goodness. It is a team like none other, and I can't thank them enough for being who they are and continually doing what they do best. And especially for being there to ease the sorrow for Patty, Nathaniel, Lucy and for both of their families.<BR/><BR/>To Sandy, Maria, and Mary from Hospice, my admiration and heartfelt appreciation for your steadfast loyalty to the end. Your love and devotion to both Patty and Lynne was everpresent in that room and I was proud to be in wonderful hands such as yours. <BR/><BR/>To Jan and Sondra and the endless crew who will take over from here and keep the ball rolling for the weekend I applaud you as well. You are all in my thoughts right now.<BR/>And finally, there is comfort in knowing, You have all helped one more Angel to get her Wings!<BR/><BR/>Love to all, Karen & HenryAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32309235.post-37064085733115129312007-07-17T10:33:00.000-04:002007-07-17T10:33:00.000-04:00Patty, Lucy, and Nathaniel, Please know that you a...Patty, Lucy, and Nathaniel, <BR/>Please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers!!
