FOR DAVID & RENEE, BARBARA, and PATTI
FRIENDS
NOW PARTED
Alas .. the world at
times I simply do not comprehend
Why ever the lives of the young must so quickly and tragically end
When cry, shake and
tremble whenever we hear such news
Made so ever worse when it's our close friends that we lose
Through teary eyes we ask -
what happened, when, how and why
On those saddsestof days when we learn that a friend has died
It cannot be, it's a horrible
mistake - those are to often thethoughts we think
Then slowly comes the realization and sadly our
hearts ever deeper sink
We cry, we grieve and we feel
so befuddled
We move as if in a haze for our minds are numb and muddled
Then we gather or go alone -
for we mourn our own way
We are gloomy and quite angry until comes the day
The day we wake and know that
our friends are truly now gone
Never again to be with them to see the sunset ... nor the dawn
Yet on this day we realize that
time goes on and so asks of us the same
Time also demands that we pay tribute to them and to never forget the name
Of a friend now parted ... yet
somehow still here
For in our hearts and minds they will be ever near
So you have read my tribute to
friends early taken
It is my hope through these words that they will never be forsaken

For Answers
Looking into the darkness
Searching the night sky
Wondering about the reason
The answer to the question why
Taking in my heart
The angels you left behind
When you choose the world beyond
Were you reaching for something
Lost in this world
A sliver of a dream
A greater peace
I take gently the hands
Left behind at this time
The sweet innocents
Who will continue to grow
Basking in the love you left
They live with the destiny
Of your choice
One day the four of you shall be
A family once more
In peace
Renee and I were roommates
when she and David met. For 25 years there was no greater love. All their time away from
work was spent together...loving and laughing...enjoying their two sons, their friends,
and their time together. One could not have lived without the other. We will never know
the "WHY"...they chose to enter the next life the way they lived in this one...
together.
Barbara was my friend for 20 years. She loved life, people, and her family. She was always seen with a smile on her face...always laughing.....never letting on when she had problems..she spent most of her spare time at the casinos. Barbara came to work one day....a heart attack took her away from those who loved her.
Patti and I were friends for
three short years. But what a wonderful time it was. Patti was a trip! She and her husband
raised endangered animals.....they had a zoo in their back yard. Not only was she my
friend, she was my manager. Work was never so much fun. Everyone she came in contact with
loved her. She left home early one morning...headed to work....an automobile accident
ended her life in the world in which we live.
I miss each one of them and think of them
daily.
They truly were pieces of heaven that touched my life.
The angel of death has been abroad
throughout the land;
you may almost hear the beating of his wings.
