What is Dying A ship sails and I stand watching till she fades on the Horizon, and someone at my side says "She is gone" Gone where? Gone from my sight thats all. She is just as large as when I saw her... The diminished size and total loss of sight is in me, not her. And just at that moment when someone at my side says, "She is gone", There are others who are watching her coming and their voices take up a glad shout "There she comes" ....and that is dying. - Bishop Brent May the Shamrocks fall softly about your footsteps Mom. Bye for now. P. COUTU & CO. FUNERAL DIRECTORS 156 Marion Street949-4864
