"the legacy"

YOU CAN SHED TEARS THAT I HAVE GONE,
OR YOU CAN SMILE THAT I HAVE LIVED,

YOU CAN CLOSE YOUR EYES AND PRAY THAT
I'LL COME BACK,OR YOU CAN OPEN YOUR EYES
AND SEE ALL THAT I HAVE LEFT,

YOUR HEART CAN BE EMPTY BECAUSE
YOU CAN'T SEE ME,OR CAN BE FULL OF THE
LOVE WE SHARED

YOU CAN TURN YOUR BACK ON TOMORROW AND
LIVE YESTERDAY
OR YOU CAN BE HAPPY FOR TOMORROW
BECAUSE OF YESTERDAY,

YOU CAN REMEMBER ME AND ONLY THAT
I'VE GONE
OR YOU CAN CHERISH MY MEMORY
AND LET IT LIVE ON,

YOU CAN TRY TO CLOSE YOUR MIND,
BE EMPTY AND TURN YOUR BACK,

OR YOU CAN DO WHAT I'D WANT:
LAUGH, OPEN YOUR EYES, LOVE AND LET GO..

A FRIEND IS A TREASURE
A friend is someone we turn to
When our spirits need a lift,
A friend is someone we treasure
For our friendship is a gift,

A friend is someone who fills our lives
With beauty, joy, and grace
And makes the world we live in
A better and happier place.

Henry July 29, 2008

friends

There are moments in life when you miss someone

so much that you just want to pick them from

your dreams and hug them for real!

When the door of happiness closes, another opens;

but often times we look so long at the

closed door that we don't see the one,

which has been opened for us.

Don't go for looks; they can deceive.

Don't go for wealth; even that fades away.

Go for someone who makes you smile,

because it takes only a smile to

make a dark day seem bright.

Find the one that makes your heart smile.

Dream what you want to dream;

go where you want to go;

be what you want to be,

because you have only one life

and one chance to do all the things

you want to do.

May you have enough happiness to make you sweet,

enough trials to make you

strong,

enough sorrow to keep you human and

enough hope to make you happy.

The happiest of people don't necessarily

have the best of everything;

they just make the most of

everything that comes along their way.

The brightest future will always

be based on a forgotten past;

you can't go forward in life until

you let go of your past failures and heartaches.

When you were born, you were crying

and everyone around you was smiling.

Live your life so at the end,

you're the one who is smiling and everyone

around you is crying.



Please send this message to those people

who mean something to you (I JUST DID);

to those who have touched your life in one way or another;

to those who make you smile when you really need it;

to those who make you see the

brighter side of things when you are really down;

to those

whose friendship you appreciate;

to those who are so meaningful in your life
god bless you henry~henry jur
******************** ****************
REMEMBER ME WHEN YOU LOOK UP AND THE STARS KISS YOUR EYES,
WHEN YOU LOOK AT A FLOWERS VELVET INSIDES.
I'M WALKING BESIDE YOU IN ALL THAT YOU DO,
FEEL MY PRESENCE I'M WITH YOU.
YOU'LL FEEL ME THERE,
CARESSING YOUR FACE AND YOUR HAIR.
I CANNOT BE WITH YOU, THOUGH I WANT TO BE.
BUT YES I AM WITH YOU IN ALL THAT YOU SEE.
FEEL MY LOVE AND KNOW IT IS ME
MY ANGEL

A friend is like a flower
a rose to be exact
or maybe like a brand new gate
that never comes unlatched

A friend is like an owl
both beautiful and wise
or perhaps a friend is like a ghost
whose spirit never dies

A friend is like a heart
that goes strong until the end
where would we be in this world
if we didn't have a friend
..............................................................

OUR THOUGHTS ARE WITH YOU

We would like to thank you for the love & support that you have
Given henry and me over the past year. It has helped us all
immensely and we are so very grateful for all the verses
pictures & candles left for Emily.
In your own grief you have still been able to care for others
you are a very special friend.God bless may you have a peaceful day

Henry Emily Mccorriston July 22, 2008

Myself and Henry, would like to say a huge thank you for all the love and support you have shown henry and me these last few months, we can honestly say that without special people like you we wouldn't be here now, Emily has always been our whole world and we will never be able to accept what has happened, we still talk to him every day just as we always have done only now our sweet angel doesn't answer. we get up in the morning come on the computer, go to the cemetary
and talk to Emily and do her grave up,and come back on the computer, that is how we get through our days but at least meeting you has made it a little bit easier.
So once again thank you and remember we will always be here for you just as you have for use.
god bless
