Re: ~Mighty Oak Has Earned His Wings And Halo...

My eyes are filled with tears for you Marie. It has been a long and difficult journey. And now it is time to grieve. And then it will be time to celebrate - celebrate the love you shared and celebrate the incredible life that was the Mighty Oak. And then, my dear, it will be time for you to rest. I can only imagine the utter exhaustion you have built up.

Know that you are and will continue to be in all of our hearts and prayers.

Unable are the loved to die. For love is immortality. ~Emily Dickinson
