With today being brisket's funeral I thought it would be good for us to have our own small memorial to him.

 

I've never done this before so it was a labour of love not skill, but I've taken the words and pictures from the forum, and used Xochi and Ninja's suggestions for music in the sticky, and the idea for how to present it came from a video El Loro posted in the Flowers thread.  I hope it goes some way to  providing a fitting tribute from all of us on the forum, to him, on this sad day. 

 

Goodbye dear brisket - May you Rest in Peace

Do not stand by my grave and weep

I am not there, I do not sleep

I am a thousand winds that blow

I  am the diamond glints on snow

I am the sunlight on ripened grain

I am the gentle autumn rain

When you awaken in the morning hush

I am the swift uplifting rush

Of quiet birds birds in circled flight

I am the soft stars that shine at night

Do not stand by my grave and cry

I am not there. I did not die

 

(Mary Elizabeth Frye , 1932)

 

Night night, God Bless gentle man. I will always remember you

 

Thank you Hoochie

brisket's Sparkly rose 

An Angel fly's by to say hello friends so dear.
Out of the everywhere and into here. 
Your eyes are dazzling , oh so blue
a lovely smile, reaching through. 
that dazzling flickering sparkling light

You brought it will you, i see it tonight!
Where did you get that sparkly tear?
I found it waiting when I got here.  
What makes your aura like a warm red rose? 
It will touch you deep, there in your soul. 
Why should you be out of mind, because your not in our view

Your just in the next room, your still here..you.

Leaving us your smile, and warmest glow,

a treasured gift and so much more.

Don't think of brisket as gone away
his journey's just begun,
life holds so many facets
this earth is only one.

Just think of him as resting
from the sorrows and the tears
in a place of warmth and comfort
where there are no days and years.

Think how he must be wishing
that we could know today
how nothing but our sadness
can really pass away.

And think of him as living
in the hearts of those he touched...
for nothing loved is ever lost
and he was loved so much.

No eye has seen,no ear has heard ,

no mind has conceived what God has

 prepared for those who love him....Goodnight God Bless brisket.... All is Well....

 

 Marg thank you to you, and everyone else for your kind comments

 

..... I won't reply to everyone individually, as this was about brisket not me, and I really just wanted in my heart to know that I'd done something to pay my respects to someone who deserved it.
