As a tribute to a lovely lady, I created a simple web page with some pictures I scanned this evening. I made it mostly for family and friends, but I do want to share with you good folks at TS, so I hope you don't mind.

May your mother rest in peace. I know at a personal level how hard it is to deal with that combination of devistating diseases. Thank you for sharing and I hope that the good memories sustain you as you grieve.

Both my mom and pop have passed on.
That's a very nice tribute to your mom.

That's a lovely tribute to your Mom. I'm sure she was very proud of you.
I know all of TS is touched by your loss.
Thank you for sharing.

I lost my Dad 13 years ago with the passing of Feb. 15... it was expected too, but that doesn't make it any easier.
You do start thinking of all the good times more and more as time passes.
Thank-you for sharing your tribute with us...

And I see why your favorite is your favorite!
A fitting tribute to a great lady.

It is never easy to deal with the loss of a parent. May the passing days bring you peace in the knowledge that Magda was loved by you and you by her. Thank you for sharing this part of your life.

Thank you all!
After spending all of yesterday making arrangements, I needed a little Mac-therapy. There's still much to be done today.

I can't imagine to a life without a mother, it doesn't matter that you've moved out at a young age (I was 16) and you're all grown up and independent, a mother is always a mother and something very dear to all of us.
Your mother was a beautiful woman, even in old age she had that glow some women have.
The page you made is a wonderful tribute to your mother and I'm honored that you wanted to share them with me. Thank you!

Your tribute to your Mother was a beautiful testimonial to the deep and abiding affection you had for her.
What a fitting way to express how you feel; and what a fine son she raised.
May the Angels lead her into Paradise.

I lost my Mother to Alzheimers a few years ago - she was relatively young when diagnosed with the disease - and although at the time of her death I felt I'd really lost her some years before, it still hurt just the same.
My thoughts are with you.

With great sympathy.
Thanks for sharing her life with us. Indeed a great tribute.
May the Lord comfort and keep you during this time of need.

as an introduction to someone who I didn't know your tribute
would do it! Lovely! Kind of wish I'd done something like this
about my folks; kind of late now!
Best wishes to you and your family!

It's never too late, man. You can still do it for your folks. When my dad died, the internet wasn't public (still ARPA) but why should that stop me if I wanted to do it now. My mom didn't want an obituaty in the papers, that was her wish...but she didn't say anything about a web site.
Thanks for the roses SB.

I don't know what "state" the internet was at in 1990, except that I wasn't part of it at all until 1997...
I'd been meaning to do this for awhile now, this tribute spurred me to "get with it"...
Thus: My Dad
with more pride than I can say...
It's never too late for these things...
kps... I hope I'm not intruding, please tell me if so... but I'd like to see more people do these things now that we have a wonder like the internet...
God Bless...
Post by: kps on June 27, 2003, 01:00:05 AM
No intrusion at all, Diane, glad you posted. I think it's great!

Very nice Karl and Dreambird, thank you so much for sharing.
You two got me thinking of my brother again. You've inspired me to go back and edit some of his pages.
Brother Bosco, I miss him.
Like Dreambird, I hope I'm not intruding, Karl.

So, if anyone wishes to post a tribute to a loved one, feel free to do so.

You are such an important member of this amazing "family" and you honor us all by sharing that lovely and moving page to your Mother's memory. Thank you, sincerely.
I have been out-of-touch with TS for a couple of weeks and only saw your posting this evening. It reminded me of the thoughful lines of Mary Frye, which i hope may offer you some solace during difficult days . . .
- - - - -
Do not stand at my grave and weep,
I am not there, I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow;
I am the diamond glints on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain;
I am the gentle autumn’s rain.
When you awaken in the morning’s hush,
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft star that shines at night.
I am the song that never ends,
I am the love of a dear friend,
I am the child who comes to rest
In arms of Father who knows him best.
When you see the sunset fair,
I am the scented evening air
I am the joy of tasks well done
I am the glow of the setting sun.
Do not stand at my grave and weep
I am not there, I do not sleep.
Do not stand at my grave and cry,
I am not there; I did not die.
Mary Frye
