I couldn't find my funeral cards with it on them that were from my sister's funeral. They're packed away since we just got back to AK a couple mos ago.

I just clicked on it and had no problems. Has anyone else had a problem with it?
no...no problem with it.

Thank you and Debey for letting me know that. I just feel so bad for Claire; she has been on my mind all day.

Claire I am very sorry to hear of your loss... I am new here in Alaska forum and enjoyed the short time I was able to read his posts. I will send you positive energy for the course you have now upon you. I found city for the same reason there are great people who will listen 24/7 if you ever need to vent, cry, remember, need help... I am one of them, that is how I met Debey.... let me know if I/us can do anything... sometimes it is easier to talk to a keyboard than in person....

It is much harder for us than those that move away from us into a even better place.......he is living without a care in the world loving life without a pain or need.. and will come be by your side at this time also... just believe! Never gone from you.... just waiting......and still here all at once.

My deepest condolences and prayers to you Claire over your loss.
I didn't know Wanderer but from reading his posts he was a wonderful
person. He will be missed by many.

This is a poem which was read at a dear friends service and I
love it. Not sure on the author as it is credited to many.

Don’t grieve for me, for now I’m free
I’m following the path God has laid you see.
I took His hand when I heard him call
I turned my back and left it all.

I could not stay another day
To laugh, to love, to work, to play.
Tasks left undone must stay that way
I found that peace at the close of day.

If my parting has left a void
Then fill it with remembered joy.
A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss
Oh yes, these things I too will miss.

Be not burdened with times of sorrow
I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow.
My life’s been full, I savored much
Good friends, good times, a loved one’s touch.

Perhaps my time seemed all too brief
Don’t lengthen it now with undue grief.
Lift up your hearts and peace to thee
God wanted me now; He set me free
