Paula Tomney -Nee Bilton

My mom is a survivor
Or so I've heard it said.
But I can hear her crying
When all others are in bed.

I watch her lay awake at night
And go to hold her hand.
She doesn't know I'm with her
To help her understand.

But like the sand upon the beach
that never washes away....
I watch over my mom and dad,
Who thinks of me each day.

They wear a smile for others...
A smile of disguise.
but through heaven's open door
I see tears flowing from there eyes.

My mom tries to cope with my death
To keep my memory alive.
But anyone who knows her
Knows it's her way to survive.

As I watch over my surviving mom
Through heavens open door...
I try to tell her
Angels protect me now and forevermore.

I know that doesn't help her...
Or ease the burden she bears.
So if you get a chance, call to her...
And show her that you care.

For no matter what they say....
No matter what they feel.
My mom and dad have a broken heart,
That time won't ever heal

My love to you all, thinking of you xx

Those we Love remain with us,
for Love itself lives on.
Cherished memories never fade,
because our loved one is gone.
Those we Love can never be,
more than a thought apart,
for as long as there’s a memory
they are forever in our heart

My love to you as always Maureen xxxxx

This heartache this sadness
this feeling of pain
to think I'll never hear your voice
or see your face again

The loneliness without you
is beyond belief
I can't come to terms with
this feeling called grief

Life must go on
I suppose it's true
but a day doesn't pass
without thinking of you

To treasure your memory
I must carry on
but nothing else matters
now that you've gone.

A letter from Heaven

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say.
But first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.

I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; Here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I am with you every morning, noon and night.

That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through.
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, 'I welcome you.'

'It's good to have you back again, you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, They'll be here later on.

I need you here so badly, you are part of my plan.
There is so much that we can do, to help our mortal man.'

God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.

And when you lie in bed at night the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you.... in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years.
Because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.

But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
If I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.

But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is over.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
But together we can do it by taking one day at a time.

It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too;
That as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who is in sorrow and pain;
Then you can say to God at night....'My day was not in vain.

And now I am contented... that my life was worthwhile.
Knowing as I passed along the way I made somebody smile.'

So if you meet somebody who is sad and low;
Just lend a hand to pick them up, as on your way you go.

When you're walking down the street and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go....
from that body to be free.
Remember you're not going....
you're coming here to be with me Xxxxxx

Keep my memory alive
and know that I am still with you
When you really need me there
I will show you I'm there.

Like when you feel a gentle breeze
and there's no wind blowing
or at night while looking at the sky
there's one star really glowing.

I am telling you that I am there
and will be as long as you need me
seeing you throught the times when
the pain seems to be the hardest.

When you feel someone watching
and you are there all alone
you hear someone call your name
or that one special song.

It's just my way of telling you
that I am here with you my love
walking along beside you
and watching from above.

So keep my memory alive
and know I am still here with you
So no more tears need you cry
for my dear, I never really left you.

Have a lovely day Maureen & family my love to you xxxxxxxxxx

MY PHOTO ALBUM

The photo album of my mind
Holds treasured thoughts of you,
And I can almost see again
The things we used to do.
I hear your voice; I see your smile;
I feel you close to me.
The photo album of my mind
Shows how we used to be.
Time may have changed us through the years.
But I will always find
You’re just as I remember in
The album of my mind.
And, as I turn page after page,
Such precious scenes I see.
The photo album of my mind
Is very dear to me.
It holds the pictures of our past
Like reels of film unwind.
I cherish all those photos in
The album of my mind.

Tricia Donaldson Kierans Mum (GTS Friend) October 13, 2007

A page in the book of memory,
Silently turns today.
We remember you in silence,
And make no outward show.
And what it meant to lose you
No one will ever Know

TO OUR BEAUTIFUL ANGEL.

One year has passed
since that fateful day
when god sent his angels
and they took you away

saying good-bye was the hardest thing
we ever had to do
and gods knows it killed us
to letgo of you

but we watched in sorrow
as you drifted away
and as much as we hated it
we know you could;nt stay

you fought a good fight
you did;nt want to give in
you were strong and brave
untill the very end

we saw you reach out
just before you died
and we know gods angels
were there by your side

faith in gods goodness
must carry us through
we pray that you have
the peace you were due

you are in our hearts
each moment of each day
our love for you
will never go away
we love you now
as we always have.
