Sad but very beautiful. Judith

This poem was read at my husband's memorial service. I thought it was very fitting since my husband died of pancreatic cancer.

Thank you Lois Ive read that poem before many times and I just love it . It always brings a tear to my eyes and tugs at my heart. be blessed.

I am so sorry for all your losses. My husband died March 13th of this year. His birthday and our 38th anniversary were this month so it's been rough. How are you all coping? An uphill battle almost each day, seems like one week am doing "ok" but the next week I am devastated and in a black hole and can barely climb out. He past away from acute myeloid leukemia which was acquired from 13 years of use of chemo drugs for a rare disease called Wegener's Granulomatosis. My heart is with you all....

My husband passed away suddenly on March 12th of this year of a bacterial infection which our local hospital didn't treat properly.. I was told he was going to make it but was dead only hours later.. Our 38th Anniversary was April 28th so I know what you are going through.. With me it's a daily thing.. I can't talk about him with out crying still.. I find it hard and feel so bad around our our two children, 3 grandchildren and 2 great-grandchildren.. I try to hold it in but it doesn't work..
Bless you two it's a hard road isn't it..
Hugs

i really love it. so very true . my husband was very tired and god decide to take the best one home. thank for pst it

What a beautiful poem. And it does bring a tear. Thanks for this post. My husband's Urn is woodsy rustic, and was a very much 'wanna be" fisherman. He never caught his muskey, but TRIED so hard! He will be released this summer at our favorite lake where he loved to fish. His engraving read: "God Grant that I may live to fish until my dying day, and when it comes to my last cast than I most humbly pray, when in the Lord's safe landing net, and peacefully asleep, that in his mercy I am judged good enough to keep" I KNOW that he was MORE than good enough, and you are so right, God only takes the BEST OF THE BEST. THANK YOU!!!

Thank you for sharing that.

That poem was on a decorative scroll in one of the arrangements sent to the funeral home. I kept it. It brought comfort to us as well It described my husband perfectly. He suffered from the day of diagnosis till his death. He was larger than life and contributed greatly to this world and is greatly missed.

Thanks so much for sharing. Larry had lost over 100lbs was so weak, short of breath and couldn`t fight any more, he did take the best when he took him, thanks, hugs Lu Ann

Thank you for sharing that, and it is so very true. My husband was the best, and God kept him from suffering any longer on March 15.
His soul is free now, to be pain free of his body. But, his love is still here inside of me, and out there in the universe :)
Thank you again for sharing:)

Frances suffered quite a while before she was diagnosed with cancer. I have yelled at g~d that 'she never hurt anyone or ever wanted to'. She was generous to a 'fault' and would do anything for anyone. Maybe there's a lesson in there somewhere...
A golden heart stopped beating...how very true...

thank you for the beautiful words Lois. My husband passed away on 18th March 2011. Today was our anniversary, 52 years.
He tried so hard to stay with us, but it was not to be. God bless
everyone who has had to go through this and give us strength to
go on. Elizabeth.

Happy Anniversary Elizabeth..
I know I was wished a Happy Anniversary on our 38th which was on the 28th of April just a bit more than a month after Ken passed and it ment so much to me..
Yes they tried so hard to stay with us not wanting to leave but I know even thought I miss him daily minute by minute, second by second that he is out of pain.. It's so hard..
Hugs to you today on your special Day.. Elizabeth.. Hope you do something that the two of you did together to celebrate..
52 years was a long time to share each other's love..
Hugs
Lois
