    Sandy, may the Lord bless you and keep you, and may He guide and comfort Phil and Benjamin. You will be sorely missed by everyone who knew you. Cecy

    I am standing upon the seashore. A ship at my side spreads her white sails to the morning breeze and starts for the blue ocean. She is an object of beauty and strength. I stand and watch her until at length she hangs like a speck of white cloud just where the sea and sky come to mingle with each other.

    Then someone at my side say: There, she is gone!

    Gone where?

    Gone from my sight. That is all. She is just as large in mast and hull and spar as she was when she left my side and she is just as able to bear the load of living freight to her destined port.

    Her diminished size is in me not in her. And just at the moment when some at my side says: There , she is gone!. There are other eyes watching her coming, and other voices ready to take up the glad shout "Here she comes!"

    And that is dying.

    While at Navy Pier in Chicago last evening, I noticed the beautiful magenta cast to the sky at sunset. While standing there, admiring the beauty my mind drifted to the sad news of Sandy's passing. But, then a smile grew on my face, as I realized it had to be my magenta friend casting her glow down from above to reign on all below.

    A butterfly lights beside us
    like a sunbeam

    And for a brief moment
    it's glory and beauty
    belong to our world,
    but then it flies on again.

    And though we wish
    it could have stayed,

    We feel so lucky
    to have seen it.....Author unknown

    You are all in our thoughts and prayers...Love The Runowski's
