jodi page Posted April 15, 2006 Share Posted April 15, 2006 Last year I started emailing a gentleman in England who had been diagnosed with Mesothelioma. He had gotten my contact information from the MARF website. Today I got an email from his wife stating he passed away on April 6th 2006. Although I had never meet this man face to face, I admired his spirit and zest for life. I will miss him but know he is in a better place and at rest from this fight. I want to share with you a poem he wrote, so you may know what a wonderful person he really was. My God Will Keep Me Safe My shadows are all gone now, for I stand tall in His light Earthly blindness disappears as forever I am in heavens sight This forlorn lamb has no longer lost its way For the Good Shepherd has taken me home to stay Amongst my loved ones I shall eternally smile And in Gods time we shall meet once more in a while Keith McFadzien Jones Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linda661 Posted April 15, 2006 Share Posted April 15, 2006 What a beautiful poem, Jodi. You definitely can tell what a special soul he was (and still is) -- that poem just takes your breath away with it's words. My deepest sympathy to you, his wife, his family, and his friends for this tragic loss. Linda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
