Friendships begun in this world can be taken up again in Heaven, never to be broken off.

 This page is dedicated to our friends and family who have met their Maker before us. We pause to honor their lives and their memory. Please share a note of remembrance for those who live on in our hearts and memories.

 

When we graduated in 1985...

Life lay before us,
There was so much to do.
The world was ours to conquer and explore.
When we left Spring High's door.
There were jobs to be found
Further education to be had,
And someday becoming Moms and Dads.
Some chose to travel many miles away
For others, this was the place to stay.
Some may have accomplished
Most of the things they had planned
And think life has been just grand.
While in other lives
Many changes had to be made,
We had to make lots of adjustments
Along life's way
But no matter what
As we gather once more,
I'm sure we're glad
We've made it this far.
As we renew old acquaintances
And talk about the things we used to do,
We will learn we are short a few.
Some have departed this life along the way
And are absent from our gathering today.
Now as their names are read
Some will remember things
That they did or said.
Faces will become vivid once more
Though they haven't come thru the door.

So let us live our lives
Mindful of the things we say and do,
For the next one missing
Might be me or you.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 The Dash Poem

by Linda Ellis

 
 
 
I read of a man who stood to speak
At the funeral of a friend.
He referred to the dates on her tombstone
From the beginning to the end.
 
He noted that first came the date of her birth
And spoke of the following date with tears.
But he said what mattered most of all
Was the dash between those years.
 
For the dash represents all the time
That she spent alive on earth
And now only those who loved her
Know what that little line is worth.
 
For it matters not how much we own,
The cars, the house, the cash.
What matters is how we live and love
And how we spend our dash.
 
So think about this long and hard,
Are there things you'd like to change?
For you never know how much time is left
That can still be rearranged.
 
If we could just slow down enough
To consider what's true and real
And always try to understand
The way other people feel.
 
And be less quick to anger
And show appreciation more
And love the people in our lives
Like we've never loved before.
 
If we treat each other with respect
And more often wear a smile,
Remembering that this special dash
Might only last a little while.
 
So when your eulogy is being read
With your life's actions to rehash
Would you be proud of the things they say
About how you spent your dash?
 
 
 
 
 
 

 

 

I still miss those I loved who are no longer with me but I find I am grateful for having loved them. The gratitude has finally conquered the loss.   ~  Rita Mae Brown

 

 

 

How well we have loved is our true legacy in life.  
It is the only gift we take with us and leave behind when we are called from this world.
~Anne Siloy
