Prayer

I was given the following prayer from a co-worker, and it seemed approprite so...

I give you this one thought to keep --
I am with you still -- I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow,
I am the diamond glints on snow,
I am the sunlight on ripened grain,
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awaken in the morning's hush,
I am the swift, uplifting rush
of the quiet birds in circled flight --
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not think of me as gone --
I am with you still--in each new dawn.

CJ Request for help with Tara Biography

I want to again thank everyone for the prayers that you sent to thehigher side for those of us surrounding Tara during her last days. Iam devastated by this loss and as a way to honor Tara I want tocreate a biography to present to Kiera. I would appreciate it if you would send me your memories of Tara. Type them up and send them inand please include the dates as best you can so I can present the information in somewhat chronological order. You may just have a few memories, but I need as much as I can get to make this an extra special book. Over the past 30 years I have many memories of Tara,but they are all so jumbled together that I will need lots of help from YOU. It completely breaks my heart that Kiera will have nomemories of her mother so I am desperate to complete the project for her and as a tribute to Tara. Even if you have just a few memories, please type them up and send them to me. I would also appreciate pictures and please be as detailed as you can. When I'm back inIllinois I'll be looking to interview people for a video of memories as well so keep that in mind. If something comes to you, jot it down. My e-mail is cjwong8 at hotmail dot com. In peace, C.J.
