"Today, well lived, makes yesterday a dream of happiness and tomorrow a vision of hope."—Unknown

Say not in grief "he is no more",
but live in thankfulness that he was.
Hebrew Proverb

To live in hearts we leave behind
Is not to die
~Thomas Campbell

“Cheers to a new year and another chance for us to get it right.”
~Oprah Winfrey

"Consult not your fears but your hopes and dreams. Think not about your frustrations, but about your unfulfilled potential. Concern yourself not with what you tried and failed in, but with what is still possible for you to do."
~ Pope John XXIII

You can shed tears that he is gone,
Or you can smile because he lived,
You can close your eyes and pray that he will come back,
Or you can open your eyes and see all that he has left.

Your heart can be empty because you can't see him
Or you can be full of the love that you shared,
You can turn your back on tomorrow and live yesterday,
Or you can be happy for tomorrow because of yesterday.

You can remember him and only that he is gone
Or you can cherish his memory and let it live on,
You can cry and close your mind be empty and turn your back,
Or you can do what he would want:
Smile, open your eyes, love and go on.

Those we love don't go away,
They walk beside us every day,
Unseen, unheard, but always near,
Still loved, still missed and very dear.

 Life is not a race - but indeed a journey. Be honest. Work hard. Be choosy. Say “thank you”, “I love you”, and “great job” to someone each day. Go to church, take time for prayer. The Lord giveth and the Lord taketh. Let your handshake mean more than pen and paper. Love your life and what you’ve been given, it is not accidental - search for your purpose and do it as best you can. Dreaming does matter. It allows you to become that which you aspire to be. Laugh often. Appreciate the little things in life and enjoy them. Some of the best things really are free. Do not worry, less wrinkles are more becoming. Forgive, it frees the soul. Take time for yourself - plan for longevity. Recognize the special people you’ve been blessed to know. Live for today, enjoy the moment. 

  For a life that has burned brightly, can never fade away...it’s rekindled through our memories each and everyday. Bo’s light will always remain and shine down on all of us with love.

Your life was a blessing, your memory a treasure..You are loved beyond words and missed beyond measure

Remember that grief is not
something that you get over; it is
something you walk through. My
shoes are worn and my feet hurt from
this walk. ~Author Unknown
