“Weep not for me though I am gone,
Into that gentle night.
Grieve if you will, but not for long,
Upon my soul’s sweet flight.
I am at peace, my soul’s at rest,
Into that gentle night.
Grieve if you will, but not for long,
Upon my soul’s sweet flight.
I am at peace, my soul’s at rest,
There is no need for tears.
For with your love I was so blessed
For all those many years.
There is no pain, I suffer not,
The fear now all is gone.
Put now these things out of your thoughts,
In your memory I live on.
Remember not my fight for breath,
Remember not the strife,
Please do not dwell upon my death,
But celebrate my life.”
For with your love I was so blessed

Remember not the strife,
Please do not dwell upon my death,
But celebrate my life.”

Leslie, a dear friend, lost Ron on Saturday. They were mountain hiking, a favorite pastime, when he was felled by a heart attack. Leslie and I have been friends ever since I came to southwest Virginia and my heart grieves for her. Please, remember Leslie and Ron’s family in your prayers as they go about these next days, the Friday funeral and life yet to be lived.
Blessings ~ good memories ~ love ~ a life well lived ~

I'm so sorry to hear about your friends husband. The poem you have is so pretty Sandra. I will keep them all in my prayers. Blessing to you.
So sorry–seems to be so much loss lately. Prayers going up for you all.
Thank you all so much for your kind words and sympathy. This is a lovely tribute and I really appreciate your thoughtfulness in putting it up and being there for me.
Forgive the intrusion. Thank you for the visit. Would like to contact you otherwise. Peace and God's blessings.
I am so sorry. What a blessing you will be to her I am certain. Praying for all of you.
How sad, I send my deepest sympathies to you and your friend's family
They will be in my prayers as will you. Big hugs!
May Leslie have peace. Praise be that
Ron left her and this world with the blessing of doing what he loved. God truly rewards us by leaving this earth in a state of peace and appreciation. We should all be so blessed. They are in my prayers.
