TO MY MOM
When the sun rises and the air is filled
with the sweet songs of the birds;
I will feel the warmth of your love for me
and for all of God’s creatures Great and small……..
With the gentle breeze that lifts the soul;
I will hear you whisper a reminder to me to
always try my very best to do what is
right and good, and to remain strong……
When the snow falls gently, landing softly upon the trees;
I will remember to always look for the beauty and kindness
in the world and to leave the ugliness behind………...
And with the gentle rain;
I will remember that although it is all right to cry,
I am never to let the laughter stop………...
Though I feel such a deep loss, the love,
the wisdom and the laughter which was so much
a part of you and is now a part of me, is a gift
that I will cherish forever………..
I am so very proud to be your daughter…….
With all my love, Jo Lee “Icabod”
“Ich liebe Dich und Ich vermisse Dich sehr viel.
Du bist immer mit mir”
(I love you and I miss you so much. You are with me
always)
In Loving Memory

Eulogy To My Best Friend-Mozart
Today, I say one final good-by to my little boy. Mozart was a Lab mix. He was born August 29, 1994 and cancer took his life on February 6, 2006. He was 11 years 3 months old. Mozart was the child I never had, the friend we all aspire to be, and the companion we all dream of. How quickly time slips away. It seems as if it was just yesterday that I picked up this little, plump ball of fur and gingerly placed him inside my jacket. You took my heart into your little paws—and you never gave it back. Through the years, there were maddening times—but never enough to make me raise my voice. You provided consolation and support during some of my darkest days and your antics, more often than not, brought a smile to my face. Your eyes conveyed intelligence and radiated love....How. I am going to miss all this.
For many years, you led a full healthy life. Then came July 13—a day imbedded in my memory and in my heart. Dr. Gil gave us the bad news that you had lymphoma. For close to six months you valiantly fought the good fight. There were quite a few times when you scared the heck out of us. Yet, you bounced back and kept on fighting. In your fight against this demon—cancer-- you taught me fortitude, strength, and valor. You taught me to face life’s incertitude, trials, and tribulations with grace and dignity. I could not have had a better teacher.
They say that the greatest last act of love that we can give our furry babies is to elieve them from pain and suffering. On Monday, February 6th, I had to make the most difficult decision that I will ever have to make—a decision that I hope never to make again. As I held you, tears streaming down, for the first time in many days you lifted your beautiful face to mine and licked the tears from my face. At that moment, I knew that you were giving me permission to let you go. Thank you for giving me the strength that I needed. On February 6th, you took your last breath. With you, you took my heart, the heart that you forgot to give back eleven years ago. You are now in a better place. By the Rainbow you frolic, free of pain and disease. Beethoven and all those who have gone before you accompany you—and I know since God is good, that Mom is there to smile at your antics, to smile as you try to find a refrigerator to raid. God speed, my little boy. Wait for me by the Bridge, until such time as I can look into your beautiful brown eyes and you can give me a welcome kiss. Anna L. Sierra-York ~ anna_york@msn.com
