Love on the Internet
Within the minds and souls of friends on the net. As time goes by...
Waiting to see a friendly name. To share a few of lifes
pleasures and pains with...To share a love that is only
known by us on the net.As time goes on our lives become
interwinded as our love for one another becomes
stronger by the days... It becomes an everlasting burning
tourch that is passed on to the next lonely soul...
This flame of love that can't go out, must be passed to
the next person that enters our chat world's...
That it might bring a little sunshine into their lives.
So that this ray of love will brighten up their days.
And hopefully this may become a better world
for you and me to share our Love...
And this is love shared in the internet chat world's.

Just in Case
In case there's no tomorrow, I'll tell you this today.
I have loved you dearly in your own special way.
Though I've no plans of leaving, I just never can be certain that
I'll be here tomorrow or beyond heaven's curtain.
We do not know what this day may bring to me or you.
We do not know if I'll be here and that goes for you, too.
So just in case one of us is gone and not here on the morrow
let me say that when we part I shall be filled with sorrow.
For life without your presence was boring and oh so plain,
and I can't bear the thought of not seeing you ever, again.
If I am not here tomorrow, please remember this my dear,
my heart is feeling heavy, because you are not near.

Fly
Fly, fly little wing Fly beyond imagining The softest cloud,
the whitest dove Upon the wind of Heaven's love
Past the planets and the stars
Leave this lonely world of ours Escape the sorrow
and the pain And fly again.
Fly, fly precious one Your endless journey has begun
Take you gentle happiness
Far too beautiful for this Cross over to the
other shore There is peace forevermore
But hold this mem'ry bittersweet Until we meet
Fly, fly do not fear Don't waste a breath, don't shed a tear
Your heart is pure, your soul is free Be on your way,
don't wait for me Above the universe you'll climb
On beyond the hands of time The moon will rise,
the sun will set But I won't forget
Fly, fly little wing Fly where the angels sing Fly away,
the time is right Go now, find the light
With Love Kim

I have seen this many times, now I think of our Sister JoJo.
God saw she was getting tired, and a cure was not to be;
So he put His arms around her, And whispered,
"Come with me."
With tearful eyes we watched her suffer, And saw her fade away;
Although we loved her dearly, We could not make her stay.
A golden heart stopped beating, Hard working hands to rest;
God broke our hearts to prove to us, He only takes the Best!
Rest now JoJo, we Loved you and will always keep you in our hearts.

THE OTHER SIDE
(Thinking about Jody and Missy)
I heard a eulogy today— a friend had passed away.
How sad it was to lose so good a person.
The world would be a lonlier place,
But we should have hope of life to come
On the other side.
And it occurred to me That our real home— for all of us—
Is where we are one with God, here and everywhere,
And not, as in a dream,
Visiting this artificial environment we call Earth—
Where we need lungs to breathe the atmosphere,
Muscles to counteract gravity, And food to regenerate our bodies.
Suddenly it became clear That our real home requires none of these
"space suits" And that we travelers will be happy to cast them
off When we finish our infinitesimally short journey
here Which is, in fact, The other side.

Miss Me, But Let Me Go
When I come to the end of the road And the sun has set for me
I want no rites in a gloom filled room Why cry for a soul that's free?
Miss me a little But not too long And not with your bowed low
Remember the love we once shared Miss me---but let me go
For this is a journey that That we all must take,
And each must go alone It's all a part of the
Master's plan A step on the road to home
When you are lonely And sick of heart Go to the friends
we know And bury your sorrows In doing good deeds
Miss Me, But Let Me Go

Hello Family,
I just wanted to let you all know that I am home from Jo's funeral.
I am so glad that I decided to go, and I took all of you with me.
The service was beautiful, and so were the many... many flowers.
The sprays from HOLAS were the only ones with the cala lilies.
One had several white cala lilies and lots of green fern and white mums
and carnations with a white banner with gold letters saying HOLAS.
The other was the same size with white cala lilies and lavender and
purple carnations and mums and it also had fern. Jo loved them, I am
sure.
The service started with the telling of Jody Lynn Griffis
being born premature and weighing a little over 4 lbs.
Five yrs later she was so excited about getting a baby brother
and then a few yrs later a baby sister... they went on and
told of her love of animals, especially horses, reading everything
she could get her hands on about horses...
and how when she was 13 yrs old, her parents had moved
to Battleground, Washington. They looked for property with
acreage so they could fulfill her dream of having her own horse.
They went on to tell how she went to school in Battleground
and had worked with many people over the years... as a cook
and on a cruise ship with her friend Todd, who was also at the service.
They talked about how she had many friends and about
the wonderful people who she had met recently on the internet,
at a special place called The House of Love and Support.
This is where Jody had met several people who helped her
thru those rough times, giving her the support she needed.
They didn't know that anyone was there from HOLAS
at that time, after the service, everyone walked to the front
where there was the beautiful urn. it was ivory with gold trim
and had a beautiful dusty rose colored rose on the front.
There was also a picture of Jo, looking so beautiful and healthy,
with her horse Mardi. I approached her parents and having
been asked if I knew Jody, they all call her Jody, I explained that
I was from the HOLAS.
Her mother was so amazed that there was someone there.
I told her that everyone sent there condolences and there love,
she invited me to come to their house. I was a little worried
since I don't usually drive freeway and a little weary of the
traffic during rush hour but decided that I should go.
I am so glad that I did. They were so nice and their beautiful
home was so homey.They made you feel so welcome.
Her Grandma, told me how Jody was her oldest grandchild.
She said Jody called her "Nanny". She also said she had
come up from California to help take care of her, not to bury her.
I could actually see Jody sitting there with her family and
with their pets, an older dog who is deaf and a dashhound
named Boxy, I believe, all getting there special attention
from her. I also saw the beautiful pasture where Mardi roams...
it is on a hillside with all the green trees and foilage everywhere
and the bright blue sky and the mountains that surround the home.
The view was breathtaking and it was also so peaceful.
Her mother and Dad showed me the place in there front
yard where they made a memorial for Jody. They had planted
a weeping cherry tree there yesterday and were going to make
a flower garden there also. I had given her mom a cala lily bulb
that I had bought at the nursery where
I had stopped for directions earlier, she is going
to plant it near the tree. I had also bought
one for myself and I am planting it in my own garden in
Jo's memory.
I think I am going to make it my HOLAS Garden.
I have talked to some of you and you are also going to plant
a cala lily in memory of Jo . I told her mom and grandma
about it and they thought that was a nice idea, I told them
there would be cala lilies all over the world in Jody's memory.
Maybe the rest of you would like to do the same, or maybe send
her mom and dad a flower bulb to add to their garden for Jo.
As I was leaving, they thanked me for coming and
I told them I was going to go home and post to you guys,
they knew you were all there with me. They said they are
so grateful for all the love and support that Jody found
with us and told me how much Jody loved her friends at HOLAS.
Hugs goodbye were shared and so I am now passing
them on to all of you... *HUGS TO ALL* I also met
Sandi's mom and dad, they also made me feel very welcome.
I truly feel that Jo has found peace and that her
family has also, it will be hard I know, but our dear Jo
suffers no more. As I hugged her father goodbye in the driveway,
we said we would stay in touch, I told him how wonderfully
special Jody was and how much we will all miss her....
and that we will. Till we meet again Jo... we love you.
A loving *hug* to all of you from me too,
Much peace and love my friends,
Char

Jody's dad, mom, sister and brother all wish to thank all of her friends in
HOLAS for all of their cards, letters and poems.
Also for the two beautiful florist sprays that were delivered
to her memorial service. Jody really got a lot of comfort from all of you
and talked about all of the friends she had made.
We can't thank you enough for everything you've done for her.
Sincerely, The Griffis Family

Thanks to Jody's speical friends for helping her reach her goal.
She often expressed how very much she wanted to help
others that would take the same kind of journey as she did.
And to help family members that have a hard time dealing
with or accecpting that a loved one has a turminal illness.
Live each day as if it were your last day on earth...
And love as if it were your 1st day in Heaven!
Angels can fly because they take themselves lightly...
We are the mirrors that reflect each others light..
Crystallizing the beauty of the invisible...
Thus bringing it to sight...
We are not human beings having a spiritual experience...
But spiritual beings having a human experience...
Just as there is no beginning or ending to a circle...
There is no beginning or ending to God's Love...
Every single act of love bears the imprint of God...
