I am so sorry to hear this! I don't know Rhonda very well, but I am still sorry for her loss. Your tribute poem was lovely. I am glad Mildred is reunited with her husband now. Thank you for sharing.

Comment from davisr (Rhonda)
Hi dear friend,
Thank you for the lovely poem and support. They are a great comfort!! She was about to go on early stages of Hospice, just to get me some extra help caring for her, then she decided she was done, and went very quickly. Most of the family was able to get there in time to talk to her on her last day, but one daughter was on a cruise and got there too late. Only one sibling made it.
Her granddaughter, who is an RN was able to come help me with meds. From the time they started the comfort med until she was gone was 12 hours. No suffering, and in the hands of loving family.
I wanted to share a video. If you can add it, it would be awesome. It's called Scars in Heaven by Casting Crowns.
Thank you and I love you,
Rhonda

Rhonda, I added the video as soon as I saw your review. I was hoping you would let me know too if there was anything else I can do, like maybe any changes in the poem needed? Also let me know if that is the right version of the video that you wanted. I always feel so helpless when one of the people I love loses a loved one, because we always want to do something to help ease their pain. Please know I am here for you in any way possible.
Love you to the moon and back and please let me know, ok?

Hi Debi,
Yes, the poem and the video are perfect. Thank you. You, in all your kindness, have touched me and uplifted me. Thank you for everything. You're a jewel.
Love and hugs,
Rhonda

Comment from Sally Law
Sweet Debi,
Thank you for sharing this for Rhonda. I'm sure it's the healing balm she needs at this time as well as our prayers.
Rhonda dear, sending loving thoughts your way and praying for you all during this time. For you and yours:
The Lord bless you and keep you;
The Lord make His face shine upon you,
And be gracious to you;
The Lord lift up His countenance upon you,
And give you peace.
For us, we have a great promise, in this life and in the next. From Romans 8:
For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Amen!
Love & Blessings to you both across the bridge.
Sal XOs!!

Comment from bob cullen
Two Debi poems in succession, I think I may need counselling. You certainly have a way with words, they sit together like good friends. You are a most prolific writer, do you have any record of how many poems you've actually penned. Do you have any books published. If so, from where could I purchase one. I really enjoy your writing.

Bob, I have no books published because I can't seem to find time to get my already finished work to that point. But I plan to do it soon as I slow down.
Anyway tho, friends are always nice to have at a time like this, and you are definitely one. So thanks for the lovely words of kindness for Rhonda, her husband and family at this sad time for them.

Hi Sweetie, I was thinking about you and there you were.
The family was through a lot in the last couple weeks for sure, and I am sure Rhonda will appreciate your kind comments.
Thanks again, my awesome friend. Love, Debi
