    Her Journey’s Just Begun

    Don’t think of her as gone away
    her journey’s just begun,
    life holds so many facets
    this earth is only one.

    Just think of her as resting
    from the sorrows and the tears
    in a place of warmth and comfort
    where there are no days and years.

    Think how she must be wishing
    that we could know today
    how nothing but our sadness
    can really pass away.

    And think of her as living
    in the hearts of those she touched…
    for nothing loved is ever lost
    and she was loved so much.

    By Ellen Brenneman

    Rest in Peace Dena.
