“Oh I think to step ashore
And find it Heaven:To clasp a hand outstretched
And find it God’s hand!
To breath new air
And that celestial air;
To feel refreshed
And find it immortality;
Oh ,think to step from storm and stress
To one unbroken calm;
To awake and find it Home.”
Lovingly remembering you all.
So sorry to hear of your Mom’s passing. Wishing you Peace and Healing as you celebrate her life and mourn her death.
