Mom's online obiturary

I know, I know it's so morbid. Two things you can count on death and taxes ...

A better link to see the online obit is http://www.legacy.com/dignity-memorial/obituary.aspx?n=Theresa-Poulin&lc=1705&mid=4151715

I've truly been impressed with the outpouring of condolences. Want you all to know that we are really doing well. My Mom's disease had hindered her so badly, that we know she no longer suffers or feels trapped in her own body.

My immediate family is arriving tonight from southern NH. I'm sure that tomorrow will be tough, but at the same time we know that Mom's suffering has ceased. Here is a song that may capture how tough it may be for Dad to be separated from his better half. The song is "Far Side Bank of Jordan":


I believe my steps are growing wearier each day
Still I have a journey on my mind.
Hurts of this old world have ceased to make me want to stay
But my one regret is leaving you behind.

Now if it proves to be his will that I am first to go
Somehow I have a feeling it may be
When it comes your time to travel likewise don't you feel lost
For I will be the first one that you see.

(Chorus)
And I’ll be waiting on the far side bank of Jordan
I’ll be waiting drawing pictures in the sand
And when I see you coming I will rise up with a shout
And come running through the shallow waters reaching for your hand.


Now through this life we've labored hard to earn our meager share
It's brought us trembling hands and tear-dimmed eyes.
But I'll just wait here on the shore and turn my face away
Until you come and we'll see paradise


Here is Johnny Cash with his love June Carter ...
