Memoriams

In loving memory of Ethel Holt and Larry Gustafson.

I’m Spending Christmas With Jesus Christ This Year

I see the countless Christmas trees

Around the world below.

With tiny lights, like heaven’s stars

Reflecting on the snow.

The sight is so spectacular,

Please wipe away that tear

For I’m spending Christmas

With Jesus Christ this year.

I hear the many Christmas songs

That people hold so dear.

But the sounds of music can’t compare

With the Christmas choir up here.

For I have no words to tell you

The joy their voices bring.

For it is beyond description

To hear as angels sing.

I know how much you miss me,

I see the pain inside your heart

For I’m spending Christmas

With Jesus Christ this year.

I can’t tell you of the splendor

Or the peace here in this place.

Can you just imagine Christmas?

With our Savior, face to face?

I’ll ask Him to light your spirit

As I tell Him of your love.

So then pray one for another

As you lift your eyes above.

So please let your hearts be joyful

And let your spirit sing,

For I’m spending Christmas in heaven

And I’m walking with the King. ~ Author Unknown

From all your family

In memory of Pat Bright, who left us one year ago today.

Sadly missed along life’s way,

Quietly remembered every day;

No longer in our life to share,

But in our hearts, he’s always there.

We mention your name,

We speak of you often;

Forever in our memories,

You will never be forgotten.

The Everett family

In loving memory of Pat Bright, who left us one year ago today, Dec. 22, 2011.

You never said “I’m leaving,”

You never said “Goodbye.”

You were gone before we knew it,

And only God knew why.

In life we loved you dearly,

In death we love you still;

In our hearts you hold a place,

That no one will ever fill.

It broke our hearts to lose you,

But you didn’t go alone;

For part of us went with you,

The day God called you home.

Things will never be the same,

And although it hurts so bad;

We smile whenever we hear your name,

Because you were our Dad.

Sadly missed but never forgotten —

Travis, Chelsea and Jordan

In memory of Pat Bright, who passed away one year ago today, Dec. 22, 2011.

It’s been a year since you’ve been away,

We are missing you every day;

Remembering the times we’ve shared,

Going to the shack is hard to bear.

Thinking of your smile on your face,

Helps the days and nights go by in grace;

Until we meet again,

In your field of dreams, our friend.
