If tomorrow starts without me and I'm not there to see, If the sun should rise and find your eyes all filled with tears for me;
I wish so much you wouldn't cry the way you did today,
while thinking of the many things, we didn't get to say.
I know how much you love me, as much as I love you!
And each time that you think of me, I know you'll miss me too;
But when tomorrow starts without me, please try to understand
that an angel came and called my name and took me by the hand;
she said my place was ready, in heaven far above
and that I'd have to leave behind all those I dearly love.
But as I turned to walk away, a tear fell from my eye
for all my life, I'd always thought I didn't want to die;
I had so much to live for, so much left yet to do, it seemed almost impossible that I was leaving you.
I thought of all the yesterdays, the good ones and the bad;
I thought of all the love we shared and all the fun we had.
If I could relive yesterday, just even for a while;
I'd say good-bye and kiss you and maybe see you smile.
But then I fully realized that this could never be for emptiness and memories would take the place of me;
when I thought of worldly things I might miss come tomorrow,
I thought of you and when I did my heart was filled with sorrow.
But when I walked through Heaven's Gates, I felt so much at home.
When God looked down and smiled at me, from his great golden throne,
He said, "This is Eternity and all I've promised you."
Today your life on earth is past but here life starts anew.
I promise no tomorrow but today will always last;
and since each day's the same way there's no longing for the past.
You have been so faithful, so trusting and so true;
though there were times you did some things, you knew you shouldn't do.
But you have been forgiven and now at last you're free;
so won't you come and take my hand and share my life with me?
So when tomorrow starts without me, don't think we're far apart,
for every time you think of me, I'm right here in your heart...
"Happiness is a Choice."
There is no right time to do the wrong thing...
there is no wrong time to do the right thing.
Each of you has touched my life in a very special way.
I call it a privilege to call you a "Friend!"
No Email or phone calls ! I am OK! I just thought if something did happen to me I would want my friends and family to know these things!

Elaine,
that was  and so, so beautiful. 
I think I want people to read that on my funeral one day; many, many years from now, of course.
& all the best to you,
Sanna

E........You're not going anywhere! You're staying right here with those who care so much for you....and even when you're done with your physical self, your spirit will be so infused in those who have known you, we wont know you're gone!
It's because of these gems you send us........and your wonderful way of helping us look at the simple joys in life that you will ALWAYS be in our hearts.......
but, for now..........
you know it.......
and I know it too.........
you've got plenty of stuff to do around this world, and tons to teach us still............
so, thank you-and keep working on us!
