We lost a beloved member of our family on Dec. 14th, 2002. My cousin Lynn (Lynnie as we called her) lost her courageous battle with cancer. She was diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer in 1999 and was given 6 months to live but she went on to stay for 3 1/2 more years to which we are all grateful.
Lynnie lit up a room with her smile and her laugh. She loved to laugh, even in the midst of her fight with cancer, she still wanted to spend time with her family, and she never lost her sense of humor. She enjoyed the somewhat off-color humor of my brother and myself. She liked to be distracted from her cancer, as that was something she could never escape.
My dad and Lynnie had always been extremely close, ever since she was born. Lynnie recalled her first memory as being held by my dad and hearing his heartbeat. When Lynnie was put on hospice care right before she died, my dad went over to her house and brought all of her favorite foods that he made and he held her against him just like he did when she was a baby.
I never gave up hope that Lynnie would live, and neither did she. She remained positive during her entire fight.
I knew right when Lynnie died because I felt her presence in my room, and I found out the next morning that she had died at that exact moment. I wasn't sure whether to tell my aunt and uncle about this, but I did two weeks later at their annual Christmas party. Lynnie would have wanted us to have it, and I told my aunt and uncle about my experience. My uncle looked at me and told me that I wouldn't believe how many other people had told him the exact same thing!
That didn't surprise me though, Lynnie always made sure that hwe family and friends knew that they were loved, and she wanted to say goodbye to us before she left, and that's exactly what she did.
A Silent Tear
Just close your eyes and you will see
All the memories that you have of me
Just sit and relax and you will find
I'm really still there inside your mind
Don’t cry for me now I'm gone
For I am in the land of song
There is no pain, there is no fear
So dry away that silent tear
Don’t think of me in the dark and cold
For here I am, Ill never grow old
I'm in that place that’s filled with love
Known to you all,as heaven up above god bless you.

WE WILL REMEMBER THEM
At the rising sun and at its going down we remember them.
At the blowing of the wind and in the chill of winter we remember them.
At the opening of the buds and in the rebirth of spring we remember them.
At the blueness of the skies and in the warmth of summer we remember them.
At the rustling of the leaves and in the beauty of the autumn we remember them.
At the beginning of the year and when it ends we remember them.
As long as we live, they too will live, for they are now a part of us. As we remember them. When we are weary and in need of strength we remember them.
When we are lost and sick at heart we remember them.
When we have decisions that are difficult to make we remember them.
When we have joy we crave to share we remember them.
When we have achievements that are based on theirs we remember them.
For as long as we live, they too will live,
For they are now a part of us, as we remember them.

for you and your family xx
Christmas Without You
Christmas without you here with me,
can never possibly be the same.
But I carry an Angel within my heart;
one so precious, who has your name.
An Angel forever watching over me,
at Christmas time and over the year.
Although you can’t be here anymore,
inside my heart, you are so very near.
There is no special present for you,
wrapped under my Christmas tree.
But I have a greater gift to give to you,
all the love you can still feel from me.
No, Christmas time without you here,
could not ever possibly be the same.
But, I have had the precious gift of you,
and the memories and love, will remain.
