Picture This
By P. H. Clark
Her eyes were picture windows and now the shades are down.
We cannot see beyond the pain but know the light is on.
For in the time we had with her, she let God’s love shine through.
She enriched the lives of many here. Now what are we to do?
The light we have communally drawn from the window wide,
We must not cover or withhold, but use it as a guide.
For when God’s love shines through our eyes and touches another soul,
We remember the light beyond the pane and know what makes us whole.
Pat and Bob, I’m so so sorry to hear about your moms passing. I know that Aunt Elaine and Uncle Homer are together again Aunt Elaine has her memory back and laughing at Uncle Homers corny jokes.
My sincere condolences Pat for your loss. My God comfort you and your family
My sincere condolences for Patricia Clark and her family.
Sending the entire Hon family love and condolences. When I had the pleasure of meeting Elaine during a visit with Carissa, I’ll never forget her beautiful, kind smile and her absolute joy at seeing her granddaughter. That love is so special. Wishing peace for your family.
Prayers to patty and Bob. My best memory is riding in the back of the truck going to get ice cream in riverside.
Dear Pat, Bob, & family, Our deepest sympathies are with you all at this sad time. Aunt Elaine was a warm, caring, beautiful woman, who made our moments together special. I cherish the time we spent with her, & uncle Homer whenever they would come to Ca. The family dinners at mom & dads house in Riverside were always such a joy with them there. Though time & distance prevented our visiting your mom & dad, that didn’t diminish the love we had for them, & the beautiful memories they left us with. Now, may our Lord above comfort you, & yours as only he can. We share your sorrow, we loved her too.!! Sue & George Widmer
