Condolence: Chandler.... I know that you already know how we feel about you. I just want the world to know. You were loved so much by our family and you are missed lots and lots. I feel so bad that I did not get the opportunity to see you before you passed and we felt so guilty that we didn't make it to your service, as we had every intention on being there. I am relieved that you are no longer suffering and I know that you are at peace in heaven. I want to especially thank you for listening to me and forgiving me for not being there, as the guilt was immense. Thank you for listening to my prayers and giving me the big bear hug, as I was having a hard time dealing with your loss. There will always be a special place in our hearts for you and you will never be forgotten. I love you!!!

Condolence: Ode to a Farmer by J. Bob Plemons When the wild wind comes blowing, And bends the willow bough. It's then that I'll be knowing, That he's about to plow. When the March wind makes its exit, And the willow bough is still, The weather beaten farmer, Is ready now to till. The soil so rich and fertile, That slept the winter past, Is awake now and ready For the planter's seed at last. As the plow turns its furrows Deep and straight and long, The birds nest in the hedges, And sing their nesting song. About the fields the earthen smell, Hangs heavy in the air, The seed are in a hurry, to sprout up everywhere. The summer rains are welcome And the farmers give his thanks. He knows if he's to harvest, The earth must have its drink. And people shop the market, And swiftly fill their cart. They never give a thought Of what's in a farmer's heart. He loves the lot that's cast him, To grow what others eat. God and he are partners. So the harvest is complete

Condolence: April 12th Hey Babe, Today is your birthday! While I miss you so much, I know you are now at peace and no longer suffering. You fought the fight for so long and are now on your way to your reward. I believe God is preparing your own special farm in heaven for two reasons, one, to keep you busy and happy and two, with your take charge nature, by keeping you busy he can continue his work without you trying to tell him how to run the show! Forever missing you, Happy Birthday! Love Liz
