This is dedicated to my dear Aunt, Mandy Sue Meeks.

She has passed away suddenly, at age 82.

She lived a long full life, and was loved by many..

Active and involved, she never let her age slow her down..She kept driving her car, long after it was safe.
I know, I was in the car with her!!

I will miss her..very much.

Please, no points, but any comments welcome.

Hello Howard,

I am not very good in situations like this, never know just what to say.

However, I do know that I am deeply sorry for your loss, and I hope that this helps in some small measure.

I will say a prayer for you and all those who loved her.

That your memories of her will fill the void left by her passing, with the joy of having known and loved... Mandy Sue Meeks.

She sounds like a wonderful lady, who was also blessed by having such dear loved ones.

God Bless,

Anna-Lu

Take care my friend!

Hi Howard,
belíssima composição, gostei muito da "jogo" de foco que usou na composição, as cores estão ótimas! Parabéns pelo belo trabalho!!!

"Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around." (Leo Buscaglia)

No prayers from me. Only empathy. We are all in the same car, my friend.

Life is a precious gift. We should cherish each day we are granted, and value each day we have with others. Especially our loved ones.
What a priviledge to know and share time with someone else! It sounds like Mandy Sue Meeks was a might fine woman. What a blessing to live a long full life! And, how privledged you are Howard to have known her personally.
May you always cherish your memories of her!
Regards,
Dave

I'm very sorry to hear that bad news, my Friend...

For everything there is a season,
And a time for every matter under heaven:
A time to be born, and a time to die;
A time to plant, and a time to pluck up what is planted;
A time to kill, and a time to heal;
A time to break down, and a time to build up;
A time to weep, and a time to laugh;
A time to mourn, and a time to dance;
A time to throw away stones, and a time to gather stones together;
A time to embrace, And a time to refrain from embracing;
A time to seek, and a time to lose;
A time to keep, and a time to throw away;
A time to tear, and a time to sew;
A time to keep silence, and a time to speak;
A time to love, and a time to hate,
A time for war, and a time for peace.

Hi there Howard, I am so sorry to hear your news. And I can say Amen to those who have written before me.

Aunty Mandy Sue sounds like a very special lady and for you to say that she was loved my many is a wonderful epitaph for her. There is a time for all of us to die. Yes, you will miss her but it is wonderful she has left so many happy and amusing memories behind.

Thinking of you and your family right now my friend,
Janice

Howard.- Siento mucha pena por la perdida de tu ser querido, te pomento una oracion por Ella esta noche., Nada en esta vida nos pertenece, todo lo que tenemos es solamente prestado por un corto periodo de tiempo, y debemos entender que todo tiene un principio y un final., Solamente Dios vive por siempre, Espero que esta pequeña nota te de consuelo.
