each and every day something or someone causes the memory of you to surface time and again It was and continues to be so difficult to deal with your leaving we thought time would pass and our hearts would rebound and heal It is a fallacy time does not heal it only clouds the mind and deepens the sorrow However we realized you have received your reward and arrived at a much better place we should be happier for you Unfortunately we of this world grieve for ourselves and our losses rather than re-ioidng for you So with that In mind we must remember to rejoice for you have left this desert for
