Connie B Posted July 12, 2004 Share Posted July 12, 2004 IN LOVING MEMORY Winford (Winnie) L. Michaud May 19, 1915 to July 27, 1970 Passed away from NSCLC (Father of Connie L. Berchem, lung cancer survivor) Lorraine L. Michaud Oct 8, 1920 to July 1, 1987 Passed away from SCLC (Mother of Connie L. Berchem, lung cancer survivor) Bonnie L. (Michaud) Weeks July 30, 1944 to Feb 12, 1988 Passed away from NSCLC (Sister of Connie L. Berchem, lung cancer survivor) Kyle M. Hill May 6, 1974 to April 5, 2000 Passed away Not Cancer Related (Son of Connie L. Berchem, lung cancer survivor) They say memories are golden. Well maybe that is true, but I never wanted memories, I only wanted you. In life I loved you dearly. In death I love you still. In my heart you hold a special place no one else could ever fill. If tears could build a stairway and heartache build a lane, I'ld walk the path to Heaven and bring you back again. Our family chain is broken and nothing seems the same. But as God calls us one by one, the chain will link again. My Love to you All until we meet again, Connie B., Your Daughter, Sister and Mother.

stand4hope Posted July 12, 2004 Share Posted July 12, 2004 Our family chain is broken and nothing seems the same. This is so true for me and my family, too. I've never heard this poem before, but I have copied it to keep forever. Connie, you have been through so much. Yet here you are, day in and day out with your funny, uplifting, encouraging messages, and now this powerful post. . . . . Thank you, my dear. We have been touched by an angel, and that angel would be you. Love, Peggy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fall54 Posted July 13, 2004 Share Posted July 13, 2004 Dear Connie, I never heard the poem either and thought it was just beautiful. I have copied it and sent it to all my siblings. I also have a copy myself that I am going to have made up into something special. It really hit home. As Peggy said you have been through so much pain in your life and have your own fight going on yet you are still here for all of us. Yes, you are an angel sent from God. Thank you a million times over. God Bless OUR angel, Jane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snowflake Posted July 15, 2004 Share Posted July 15, 2004 Well, Connie, I now see how you can empathize with so many. How sad to have lost so many, how strong you are to continue on and be productive and use your pain to help others. So sorry about some of the steps you had to take to be who you are.... xxoo, Becky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Connie B Posted July 15, 2004 Author Share Posted July 15, 2004 Thank you to all for your loving support and kind works. I find great comfort knowing that my family of Angel's are all together on the other-side, and are guiding me to be the best person I can be. They give me strength to go on in this wonderful life until I can join them one day. Thank you.
