In Quiet Solitude:
Healing one's inner self offers a refresing hope.
There is a place of peace in the quiet solitude of your soul.
A place where comfort breaths life into a tearful heart.
In the midst of silent sorrow, a soothing hallowed light will
gently caress you.
Leaving a renewed strength and inner courage to face
what lies ahead.
In the wings of your journey, take that solo flight.
Reach a higher plateau of fulfillment and stand by the pillars
of your beliefs.
Release your soul to freedom and ascend toward His Light.
Patty, My deepest sympathy goes out to you in the passing of your
beloved Bill. You both will always be in my heart.
To:
Lori, Debbie and Billie, I send my love and deepest sympathy to
you in the loss of your father. God Bless All of You.
Love, Barbara
