Dear Daddy; ------------------------- Ever since you went away, my heart is filled with pain. I pray that God chooses me and someday, I'll see you again. I know deep down inside of me, That what will be, will be And joy does fill my heart, just knowing you are free. I prayed that you did hear me, As I whispered in your ear, "Take GOD'S Hand, Daddy Go with Him, Away, Away from here". Cross that mighty Jordon, A place of Grace and Peace, And Pray for us down here on Earth, A place of misery. Now you know the Promise Of Life . . . . Eternally. Forever and always, your petit joli

Dear Joanna, I feel your devastation loosing your Daddy, I felt the same way....loosing my dad was one of the hardest things I ever went through in my life. .. I found this text on the internet and thought of you: Wanna share it with you..................... "~I'm Free~ (Author Unknown) Don't grieve for me, for now I'm free; I'm following the path God laid for me. I took The hand when I heard the call; I turned my back and left it all. I could not stay another day, To laugh, to love, to work or play. Tasks left undone must stay that way; I found that place at the close of day. If my parting has left a void, Then fill it with remembered joy. A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss; Ah yes, these things, I too, will miss. Be not burdened with times of sorrow; I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow. My life's been full, I savored much; Good friends, good times, a loved one's touch. Perhaps my time seemed all too brief; Don't lengthen it now with undue grief. Lift up your heart and share with me; God wanted me now, and set me free. ...."Gabrielle Stahlie 15 Apr 2008
