TODAY
Today the angels in heaven
will rejoice,
For they have seen the arrival
of another voice!
A special mother called "Babe"
has joined them there,
To touch the face of God and
his love to share.
God in his great love had loaned
her here,
And for what seemed a fleeting
moment we held her near.
Time always seems much too
short with the ones we love,
Until we are called to return
to God above.
Her time here on earth was
not wasted you see,
For she lived it to the fullest
while waiting for what was to be.
All of her years were spent
teaching great love,
To a daughter she had born...her
gift from above!
She knew she had done well
and with no regret,
Etched in time ..... her time
was set.
Gods great plan was always
there,
When he sent a very special
woman, "BABE" to share.
Those who knew her will never
forget,
For etched in their hearts
are memories set.
She passed this way and she
spread her love,
and when she returned to God
above,
She left a little of her heart
below.
For those who knew her ...
to continue to sow.
The lessons she taught, the
great love she gave,
Will continue to spread as
an ocean wave.
The daughter she held so very
dear,
Will always be in her heart
so near.
Her legacy lives on through
"her" special gift.
Her spirit will continue to
help others and uplift.
Listen close and you may hear
her voice
as now in heaven with the
angels she can rejoice!
Dedicated to "Babe"

Brenda
I first met Bren (as I refer
to her since my name is also Brenda...makes it less confusing when we are
all in a chat room!) thru PASSAGE. That was a support group formed by Dorothy
Womack for caregivers! Bren is a librarian and soon became known as the
BRAINS of the bunch! If we needed info she was off and running to collect
it before we could BLINK! Bren has tried to teach me the basics of HTML
but to no avail....BIG MENTAL BLOCK! SORRY BREN! She also became the singing
sister while we were on PASSAGE. She provided a song for our weary hearts
every night as we were tucked in! Bren also has a HUGE site with tons of
information on Alzheimer's.... be sure to check out her site at this address: A YEAR TO REMEMBER
I got to meet Bren in Nov.
of 99 and again in July of 2000! Bren if I had awards to give....you would
be at the top of my list for the care and concern you show to all you meet!
I LOVE YOU BREN

NANCZE
I also met Nancze through
the support group PASSAGE. She had just started a page on the internet...wanted
just one page with info on Alzheimer's to help those in need! She has added
and added until you best have a long break if you want to cover it all!
Her site is wonderful and full of graphics she has made all on her own.
Be sure to drop in on her at this address: CAREGIVERS HAVEN
Although I haven't met Nancze
in person yet (The plans are in the works) we talk almost everyday by way
of the computer. She is one of the major reasons I now have a web site
of my own. She walked me through the easy way (Sorry Bren...I just couldn't
get that HTML...was all greek to me!) and gently kicked my butt to
get me started! THANKS SIS! Nancze works in a Nursing Home where she has
plenty of experience in caregiving. She can also lift your soul as you
go through her pages and find the presence of God there! Way to go SIS!!!!!
Below is also a poem I wrote for Nancze. I LOVE YOU SIS...MANY HUGS
