My friend, Bob, lost his wife, of 46 years, July 3rd, this summer, to ovarian cancer. I lost my best friend Sally.

Bob sent me this, and I'm sharing in case someone at the KT might find this meaningful. I sure do.

I had my DS who is 40 read this. His wife passed away in February.

I'm so sorry for your losses, Glenda.

Thank you for sharing that beautiful poem, it is very meaningful. Do you mind if I save a copy of it to share with others? I lost my brother this past summer, and I'm sure his kids and grandkids would appreciate a chance to read it.

I saved a copy...thank you for sharing this. I recently lost my best forever friend (of 48 years), and I'll think of her when I read this over and over.

I found this poem 20 yrs ago when I lost my Dad. I used a program to do a beautiful church background, then super imposed this poem on top of it. I printed it on photo paper, placed in a frame, and placed it on my Dad's grave. Someone stole it that very day. When I'd shared it with others, I was amazed at how it touched so many people's hearts.

Thanks, Glenda, for sharing this and bringing back such poignant memories. I would have loved to have met the person who wrote it.

Let us stop a moment and remember those we've lost. We lost our dear KT'er, Nita, this year, so pause a moment and reflect on her sweet soul.

Yes, Nita. What a special person she was. She and Mike were on my mind this morning. Hope Mike is doing ok.
