It is one of the worst things that we can do as
molers.. turn on the computer and find that we have lost a friend. I know
that the myriad of emotions is overwhelming to me and this is my prayer as a
tribute to Nonie and all of our other cancering friends... Much love and
hugs to all of you, Carla
Oh God, please be with John and the rest
of Nonie's family and help them to heal from the deep pain and hole that is left
in their hearts. Please be with those of us who knew Nonie and are feeling
the sharp pain of a knife in our hearts, as we learn this news. Please be
with those who are on the cancering journey, those who have a loved one who is,
and don't want to see that another friend has died.
Please comfort our hearts and still our
minds that we may continue to be cancering survivors, knowing that this is the
greatest tribute we can pay to our friends who have passed over to be with you
God. We know that our friend Nonie is with you and that it was
a blessing that she never awoke from her surgery to have to say goodbye to
John and the rest of her family and friends. We are all grateful that the
last strong memory that John has of Nonie is her smiling with the confidence of
a survivor.
Nonie was and is a survivor. She
made a mark on everyone who was blessed to know her. We trust that she is
in heaven with all of our other friends who have preceded her and that their
arms were open with a comforting embrace for their sister.
God, it is a good time to remember our
friends that are with you. It is good for us to know that they are without
pain and without the fear that cancer brings to so many lives. It is good
for us to be reminded that they are with you and watching out for each and
everyone of us; for no one who has ever been a part of this forum, could ever
die without becoming a guardian angel for those of us they left
behind.
Please bring to us a warm loving memory
that we have shared with each one of our guardian angels and help us to know
with all certainty that leaving our physical bodies is not the death of our
hearts and souls, but that our kingdom and reward is in heaven with you
God. Amen
