vThis is for those of us who I know have lost love ones in the past few years. -- No, this is for all of us !!
LIFE GOES ON
No matter how we try to stop it in a moment that we cherish,
No matter how we try to catch a day before it fades away,
Life goes on.
God made it that way so we wouldn’t linger,
In a pleasant time that is no more.
We have more to see, more to do. I have to be me, and cannot boo-hoo.
Even though I may not know what is in store for me
God knows and will make it be.
I take comfort in that I am being led by the Most Holy Spirit and being fed.
I won’t allow this to be stolen from me
For I say to the Evil One, I will not pay your fee!
Life goes on.
Thank you Lord for being there for me;
Giving me the strength that I can now see.
Not as clearly as I would have liked. Please, Lord, all I’m trying to say
Is that I will not give up the fight
To remember him as you would have me do;
And go on with his blessing and Yours, too.
Yes, Life Goes On.
And I would not have it any other way,
Because of Your Love for me in the sway.
Oh, rain upon me Lord, and Reign upon me again
The sweet blessings of Your Protection
Even when You do it without my detection.
I have to say, “I love You Lord, I love You, and I love You !!
Life goes on.

On March 7, 2014 Dr. Paul Edelman, husband of Joan (Malerba) Edelman died from complications of a stroke he experienced one week earlier. I am so sorry to have to relay this. Those of you that attended our 50 yr reunion met him. Dr. Paul and Joani were married for 32 years. More details shall follow as I receive them.
For those of you who knew my best friend, significant other:
Jim Phillips
(1936-2014)
This is not a poem or a prayer,
Just something I would like to share.
I knew a man that had a way,
What it was I cannot say.
He was kind and sweet,
Stong and tough,
But never rough;
The kind you'd be glad to meet.
Full of integrity,
He exuded dignity.
Pleasent to the eye,
He was called on high.
In this life and in the next,
He can always say he did his best.
Feeding people with food and thought,
He shared of himself things that could not be bought.
I will always remember what he gave to me,
And hope and pray, I may come close to knowing his way.
He was my best friend, companion, and more,
Truly special down to the core.
What he imparted will never be lost.
In my mind's eye, I will always love him, no matter what the cost.
A man of the West was he, a Spirit to the world he'll always be.
--Barbara Ecker
