Don't Mourn for me?
Please don't mourn for me
I'm still here, though you don't see
I'm right here by your side each night and day
And within your heart I long to stay
My body is gone but I'm always near
I'm everything you feel, see or hear
My spirit is free, but I'll never depart
As long as you keep me alive in your heart
I'll never wander out of your sight
I'm the brightest star on a Summer night
I'll never be beyond your reach
I'm warm, moist sand when you're at the beach
I'm the colorful leaves when Fall comes around
And the pure white snow that blankets the ground
I'm the beautiful flowers of which you're so fond
The clear cool water in a quiet pond
I'm the first bright blossom you'll see in the Spring
The first warm raindrop April will bring
I'm the first ray of light when the sun starts to shine
And the face you see in the moon is mine
When you start thinking there's no one to love you
You can talk to me through the Lord above you
I'll whisper my answer through the leaves on the trees
And you'll feel my presence in the soft Summer breeze
I'm the hot salty tears that flow when you weep
And the beautiful dreams that come when you sleep
I'm the smile you see on a baby's face
Just look for me, I'll be everyplace!

Lillian thank you for your kindness and always making me feel welcomed in your home. I never would have imagined God would take you from us so soon.
My heart goes out to the family. I am so very sorry for your loss. Your mother was amazing, funny, and loved you all so very much.
I walk in the house and expect to hear her voice. Lillian, you will be in our hearts and thoughts always.

I still cannot believe Lillian is not with us anymore. She was a good old friend and I will miss her humor. I know she was very close to her family as if she were the sun and they were the satellites. My heart goes out to all.
