Jonzie
My sweet angel dear
I miss thee so
Long to hear thy voice again
More than you will know
Burned into my thoughts
Foremost in my prayers
I will love thee
Forever and ever
You will ne'er be forgotten
Your residence is Heaven
The path that leads to God
We always knew
That is where you belonged
Gates eternal keeper
To guide us all home
Welcoming us with open arms
Divinity will surely be
Seeing your smiling face
At times I revisit that day
Pain still remains fresh in my mind
There can be no explanation
To comprehend your death
It can't be taken back
As much as we want it to
Good by my angel friend
I know I will see thee once more
Then, truly, will I be blessed

I love your work!

This has been my hardest write of all so far. I have not been able to put into words the hurt of losing my friend Jonzie. Last night I finally put pen to paper and this was what I could come up with. Thanks for the encouragement and praise. You are truly kind Misty.

Nikki,

Loss is a tough thing...well beyond our simple comprehension. You wrote a very loving and honorable tribute to a friend you so obviously cared about. Let the healing begin. It helps to remember that our lives are not our own. We are gifted these fleeting opportunities in the midst of a grand scheme. There is a song I hear occasionally that labels us "vapors on the wind". How true is that? Time is short and all of it we get is borrowed. I have two that I shall post now in hopes that you see the brighter side of loss. Warm wishes for you, Nikki, on a speedy healing.

With greatest sympathy,

Kevin

Kevin,

Loss is very hard. This hit me hardest of all. He was one of our military brothers(did not die in duty). Having to see him basically lifeless in the hospital and say good bye to him was the hardest thing I have ever had to do. My saving grace in it all is to know that he is looking down on me and my brother(it was his best friend) from Heaven. I loved him very much, I only hope he knew that before he left us. I know he could feel it when I held his hand for the last time. I have not been able to figure out how to put it into words, then last night this is what I came up with.
