CONNECTING TO GRIEF COPING WITH GRIEF CONQUERING GRIEF CONTINUING LIFE WITHOUT GRIEF Here lies my teacher; Here lies my companion; Here lies my friend. I was blessed to have known him And have him leave his imprint on my life - My Scotty. Some people walk in and out of your life while others leave their mark. Were always seeking something else passing the gift of friends so dear. I was blessed to have you as a friend with whom Id grown so close. To you my friend Id like to say your friendship meant the most. As I share this thought with you youll know its from my heart. Your gift to me was priceless - the value of infinity. How happy I was to have known you and now lifes empty without you. I pray the Lord to keep you until we re-connect. We must learn the mistakes of others as life doesnt give a second chance. The circle of friends should be endless as in no beginning and no end. Our yesterdays are now our history; tomorrow is strictly a mystery. Seize today and simply say ... Friends you and me from now through all eternity. Stephen Paul Tolmie
