Hi...My name is Michelle. My mother was born on February 20, 1953 and on August 9, 2008 I lost my beautiful mother Ingrid, to liver cancer. She was only 55 years old and would have celebrated my graduation with me on November 2008. This beautiful woman was not only my mother, but my friend. She leaves behind her sisters, and brother which she cared very much is her own special way. She was a strong woman with great love of beauty and the good life. She enjoyed her friends that she made in Second Life in the last months of her life and for this i am thankful that she was never alone. I know that now she is with her grandparents and mother in heaven. I miss her very much and one day i know we will be together again. She will be deeply missed.
Safely Home
I am home in heaven dear ones...
Oh so happy and so bright....
There is perfect joy and beauty....
In everlasting light....
All the pain and grief is over ....
Every restless tossing passed....
I am now at peace forever...
Safely home in heaven at last....
Did you wonder why I so calmly
Trod the valley of the shade...
Oh...but..Jesus'..love illuminated every
dark and fearful glade...
And he came himself to meet me
In that way so hard to tread...
And with Jesus' arm to lean on
Could I have one doubt or dread?
Then you must not grieve so sorely
For I love you dearly still!
Try to look beyond earths shadows
Pray to trust our Fathers will....
There is work still waiting for you
So you must not idly stand...
Do it now while life remaineth
You shall rest in Jesus' land...
When that work is all completed
He will gently call you home
Oh, the rapture of the meeting
Oh, the joy to see you come!
