"Don't judge me for how I left this world,
Remember the love I gave
A lot of grief will follow me
For the decision that I made
Changes appear in everyone's life
Some good, some bad
The one I chose for myself
Made everyone very sad
But in time the memories will heal the hurt of hearts
And my presence will be felt by all with an inner peace
Remember me when the sun is bright and laughter fills the air
And a moonlit night and a whisper of wind
Will tell you I am there
Don't look down on my family
Or fill their hearts with blame
For my leaving them without good-byes
Has left them so much pain
If I could go back in time
I would say a last good-bye
I would tell them to look to tomorrow
And for me.please do not cry."

Who's To Blame? - by Christine Ross

Who's to blame for suicide?
The question often heard.
Someone always points a finger
And they say such hurtful words.

They never do consider that
It's caused from a disease.
Depression and Bipolar
Are just a few of these.

Some die from being murdered.
Some die from accidents.
Some die from pneumonia,
But none of it makes sense.

Sometimes body parts wear out
Way before their time.
Some lose the cancer battle,
But it all seems so unkind.

No matter how they leave us
It never is their choice.
There's something deep within them
That has a bigger voice.

So please refuse to take the blame
For the THING that took your Sister.
Although others point their fingers.
They haven't walked your mile.

Hope, Wish, Wonder (read at service)

I sit hear and i wonderwhat it is that i can do.
If i had one more day, just to spend it all with you.
Would we talk for hours, and say all we never said, or
Would we just hold each other gently, and wait until the end.

It's hard to to sit and wonder, when it plays upon your mind,
Just what it would have been like, if we knew there was more time.
I wonder what you are doing, and if you're thinking of us here.
I wonder if you see us, and i wonder if you're near.

I hope you find the answers, to the questions that you seek.
I hope you find contentment in the answers you receive.
I spent a lifetime walking, in the shadows of my mind.
I wish i hadn't wasted, all of that precious time!

I wished for you to be here, and i wished it wasn't true.
One day we'll be together, and then we'll talk it through.
But until then i wonder, what it is that i can do, If i had one more day, just to spend it all with you

Letter From Heaven
When tomorrow starts without me,
and I'm not there to see;
If the sun should rise and find your eyes,
all filled with tears for me;
I wish so much you wouldn't cry,
the way you did today,
while thinking of the many things,
we didn't get to say.

I know how much you love me,
as much as I love you,
and each time that you think of me,
I know you'll miss me too;
But when tomorrow starts without me,
please try to understand,
that an Angel came and called my name,
and took me by the hand,
and said my place was ready,
in heaven far above,
and that I'd have to leave behind,
all those I dearly love.

But as I turned to walk away,
a tear fell from my eye,
for all life, I'd always thought,
I didn't want to die.
I had so much to live for,
so much yet to do,
it seemed almost impossible,
that I was leaving you.

I thought of all the yesterdays,
the good ones and the bad,
I thought of all the love we shared,
and all the fun we had.
If I could relive yesterday,
just even for awhile,
I'd say goodbye and kiss you
and maybe see you smile.

But then I fully realized,
that this could never be,
for emptiness and memories,
would take the place of me.
And when I thought of worldly things,
I might miss come tomorrow,
I thought of you, and when I did,
my heart was filled with sorrow.

But when I walked through heaven's gates,
I felt so much at home.
When God looked down and smiled at me,
from His great golden throne,

He said, "This is eternity,
and all I've promised you".
Today for life on earth is past,
but here it starts anew.
I promise no tomorrow,
but today will always last,
and since each day's the same day,
there's no longing for the past.

But you have been so faithful,
so trusting and so true.
Though there were times you did some things,
you knew you shouldn't do.
But you have been forgiven
and now at last you're free.
So won't you take my hand
and share my life with me?

So when tomorrow starts without me,
don't think we're far apart,
for every time you think of me,
I'm right here, in your heart.
