Poem
Deborah’s parents believed people should life their lives at a kind and gentle pace so when they’re gone just the thought of them would bring a smile to our face. I’d like to tell you about this couple…who made a kind and loving team… how, 40 years into their marriage, they shared a similar dream. It all began a while ago…back in 1982. when they decided to build a cabin in N. C….a cabin with a view. A cabin they could visit every summer…a place for family and friends to meet… high up in the mountains…far from the Florida heat. They built their cabin in the mountains…tucked in among the trees… where sitting on the porch we’re visited by birds and butterflies and bees. Where we can watch the sunrise in the morning…the slow advance of light… then watch the moon illuminate the sky…and count the stars at night. In the 40 years since they built their dream cabin…they were blessed to see… sitting together on their porch a myriad of friends and family. Their cabin has seen wonders the two of them wouldn’t have dared to believe… It’s seen their families grow, couples on their honeymoon… and at least 1 baby (that we know of) there conceived. Deborah’s parents are no longer around…their laughter no longer fills the air… but such is the nature of love….their presence is everywhere. As we sit upon their porch…trying to follow their kind and gentle pace… every thought we have of them…brings a smile to our face. Today as we sit among the trees…from the moment we arrive… We hope Deborah’s parents rest in peace knowing we are doing everything we can… to keep their dream alive.
