i had written this ode for rosemary and i put it in a frame and was ready to send it out to her today.ihad written the ode in the present tense,and changed it for the board,after i had found she had passed on. im sorry that she never got to read it but i will share it with you gals,as when i posted on the caringbridge site,i know there were a couple of you that couldnt access it,i always let her know,and bea too,that she was being thought of and prayed for by all of you.
the road you ve traveled has been
long
the hills so very
steep,
each day you tried to summon
up
the courage one must
keep!
to face tomorrows still
unknown
and what those days will
hold,
praying that you found some
strength
for whatever mite
unfold...
there were times you got
discouraged
many times found tears to
cry,
there were times you layed there
motionless
with eyes closed,you wondered
why.
this road that god had put you
on
what purpose did it
serve,
the struggles and the constant
pain
had struck upon each
nerve!
yet thru that darkness shined a
lite
a candle lit by love and
prayer,
for all of those who by your
side
have shown how much they
care!
and with that love you
rallied,
with hope and courage
found
to face the challenge of each
day
and know your walk was not
alone!!!!
we have had the privledge girls of knowing this courageous woman who shared her life and her struggles with cancer with us thru her posts. i know her lite will continue to shine...hugs mindy

Lovely as usual, Mindy.
Mindy,
That was so beautiful and as I was reading I was tearing up and after I read it I finally had a good cry about the passing of a good friend and one I truly wish I could have met in person. I will say a prayer for her family as we all know were so special to her.
Thanks for sharing an ode for Rosemary with us this morning.
Mindy
this is so beautiful and it just discribes her so much, she was such a great lady and friend to all of us. I could not help but just cry my eyes out when I was reading this. Like Becky I wish we could of met her in person, people say that you can't get to know someone on the board. My goodness I feel like your all my next door neighbor and such good friends and when someone hurts we all hurt. The memory of Rosemary will be cherished for ever. ((((((((((((((((hugs)))))))))))
Betty L. Keep and Angel on your Shoulder & a prayer in your heart.

Beautiful Mindy!
I'm sure Rosemary is in a place where she can feel all we are feeling and know how much we miss her already. She's one of Betty's angels now.
Hugs,
Thank you so much Mindy for sharing your talent with us.
Hugs,
