My Uncle Harry passed away on June 1, 2009. Uncle Harry was my mom's baby brother! Throat Cancer would be the culprit to cut his 50 years on this earth short :( He was diagnosed about 8 months ago and given up to a couple of years to live. My mom and grandma spent many hours over the 8 months with my uncle driving him back and forth to chemo and doctor appointments. He is no longer suffering and is at peace ... Jesus by his side and the rest of the family who we have lost in the past! Rest in Peace Uncle Harry! I love you!!!
POEM OF LIFE
Life is but a stopping place,
A pause in what's to be,
A resting place along the road,
to sweet eternity.
We all have different journeys,
Different paths along the way,
We all were meant to learn some things,
but never meant to stay...
Our destination is a place,
Far greater than we know.
For some the journey's quicker,
For some the journey's slow.
And when the journey finally ends,
We'll claim a great reward,
And find an everlasting peace,
Together with the lord
