I
find it so very hard to believe my Sister Judy That you have gone and I must grieve; I call out your name -- you answer
not, And I look for you in every familiar spot. Everything seems so strange and surreal once again, I ask everyday
is it a dream or real?
Where are the soft eyes of affection? Where is the laughter and talk of childhood reflection? Where
is the loving care when I was sick or sad? Where is the generous soul for which I was glad? Where is the forgiving and
understanding heart? Where are the bonds that were there from the start?
I miss all the little ways you showed you
cared, For there were so many good moments we shared; Looking back on my life’s assorted scenes, I realized
you taught me what love truly means; You were my trusted confidante and best friend, On whose loving support I could
always depend.
I look at your smiling face in all my photos; Memories flood my mind as I touch the mementos From
the happy times you and I have had, But now these bring tears and make me sad; For the time together went by in a wink, Life
was not as long as we’d like to think.
Sometimes memories bring comfort and make me smile, But there are times
when grief takes over for a while; Friends offer gentle words and prayers to console, And tell me what has happened
to your loving soul; Can it be true what they say of time healing grief? Is it enough when they say death has given
you relief?
Can we believe what others say of a better place, Where our beloved ones rest in God’s warm embrace? I
should be happy you’re free of pain and sorrow now Judy, And rejoice that you’ll always have tomorrow. How
can I then be so heartbroken and selfishly cry, Return to me from that peaceful place where you lie!”
Now
I'll look down at your name on a cold hard stone That says little of the loving light you have shone; It tells nothing
of the wonderful person you were sister JJ, And only serves to remind me of the painful loss I & the Family left behind endure; But
I know your kind soul wants no tears or pain, Instead you’d want warm memories and love to remain.
Although
I cry and stand grief-stricken by your grave, I promise not to forget the loving memories you gave; But still I miss
you so very much my sister dear, And your caring words I once again long to hear; My heart’s only solace is one
day I will see you as before, Beckoning me to come join you on that white distant shore. Until then
I'll
continue calling you daily now though in my head & Heart the words
"
I just called to say I Love You "
I Will miss you My sister til we meet again through the Promise of Our Lord GOD Almighty & His Son Our Savour Jesus Christ.
Your Loving Brother Wally , Carol & Godchild Jeremy
