You are a grand poet. Thank you for your kind words. This is not my sadness, but a friends, but we have all been there. God willing no more calls for anyone until after... at least... flowers for your day... Ann

We must remember the goodbye... the smiles and when the call comes... know there is a heaven.... God give you a peaceful day... lazy last minute leaves falling from trees, on your way, to somewhere fun. Ann
