What an absolutely beautiful tribute to your parents. Just lovely Connie......

Thanks everyone! Judy and I are so happy with it and I wanted you all to see it.

Patti...your Mom's gravestone is beautiful and I love what it says, "Beloved Mother." My parents gravestone is a flat one too, with Mom's name on one side and Dad's on the other and a vase right in the middle. They have recently engraved the date of Mom's death on the stone and I just couldn't bring myself to take a picture of it yet.

Debi (Shadow) They used to water that cemetery, but for some reason they quit. They told me I can water all I want, so I water the graves, the tree and have started watering around the bench, but the hose isn't quite long enough to get all the way over there.

We were so lucky to be able to have the bench in that section so it looks straight ahead at Mom's and Dad's graves. There won't be any graves in that section, so it stands out really well.

Thanks again for all your nice comments! *HUGS*

I forgot to thank you, Patti, for the beautiful poems! They touched my heart! I am always so amazed at your poems and writings. You are amazing. Thank you, my dear friend!

"Time"

Time is not just a minute or another day,
It's a life time of memories stashed away.

So many of those memories that we hold dear,
Far too many shed many a tear.

Our faith and belief will see us through,
God walks with us daily with me and you.

The path we choose is ours for the taking,
The joys he gave us was his in the making.

Hold on to the treasured gifts that he so willingly gave,
Assuring us of eternity and wanting us all to be saved.

One day together in heaven we'll be,
The promise of life forever for you an me.

Hold onto the memories forever to cherish,
Those we hold dear never really did perish.

Time goes on beyond with abundant treasure,
Forever with each other, what blissful pleasure.

Time waits for no one, it goes by so fast,
What we encounter in loving one another is what will last.

Take hold and feel the warmth of the sun and wind blowing,
Together what waits beyond for us is knowing.

Life's treasures are beyond what life holds in store,
Heaven has to offer ever so much more.

Our precious ones God has in his care,
Giving back to him was so hard to bare.

Hold on to this time if God wants it to be so,
Time doesn't stand still and he wants you to know.

Time isn't just to be here for another minute or a day,
It's a lifetime in Eternity forever with him to stay.

Thank you Lord for allowing this to be,
For each of us, you, you and me.

"Bends In Lifes Road"

The unknowing is what one dreads each day,
As we travel lifes long road of what comes our way.

Not knowing what lies around the roads bend,
God speaks to us letting us know, our souls he does so tend.

Knowing whatever we must go through, life’s trials to endure,
God will guide us through each one, we can be sure
.
Travel this life and always look ahead,
He is here for each of us, to wipe each tear that we shed.

There is a bright light that shines in our future,
Gods plan in life is eternity forever, there we will forever nurture.

After we come around each bend in the road, climbing the hill is easier to dread,
Let’s live each day, let God hold our hand, seek his will and push on ahead.

Our Love and Hugs to you Connie,

From the both of us, Patti and Jack
