I am still here
When tomorrow starts without me,
And I am not there to see,
If the sun should rise and find your eyes
All filled with tears for me;
I wish so much you wouldn’t cry
The way you did today,
While thinking of the many things,
We didn’t get to say.
I know how much you love me,
As much as I love you
And each time you think of me,
I know you’ll miss me too;
But when tomorrow starts without me,
Please try to understand,
That an angel came and called my name,
And took me by the hand,
And said my place was ready,
In heaven far above,
And that I’d have to leave behind
All those I dearly love.
But as I turn to walk away,
A tear fell from my eye,
For all my life I’d always thought,
I didn't want to die.
I had so much to live for,
So much yet left to do,
It seemed almost impossible
That I was leaving you.
I thought of all those yesterdays
The good ones and the bad,
I thought of all the love we shared,
All the fun we had.
If I could relive yesterday,
Just even for a while,
I’d say goodbye and kiss you
And maybe see you smile.
But then I’d fully realize
That this could never be,
For emptiness and memories,
Would take the place of me.
And when I thought of worldly things
I might miss come tomorrow,
I thought of you, and when I did
My heart was filled with sorrow.
But when I walked through those gates,
I felt so much at home.
When God looked down and smiled at me,
From His great golden throne.
He said, "This is eternity, And all I've promised you.
"Today your life on earth has past
But here life starts anew.
I promise no tomorrow,
But today will always last,
And since each day’s the same way
There’s no longing for the past.
You have been so faithful,
So trusting and so true.
Though there were times
You did some things you know you shouldn’t do
But you have been forgiven,
And at last you are free
So won’t you come and take my hand
And share my life with me?
So when tomorrow starts without me,
Don’t think we are far apart,
For every time you think of me
I’m right here in your heart.

I am comforted that Laura is in the arms of our Savior and is in a full knowlege of his amazing love. My heart aches for her wonderful family as I try to comprehend their tragic loss. They are in our prayers and thoughts.
Love the photos...my heart is very sad too.
Thank you for the lovely pictures. We will all miss her terribly! Mom said that your talk was perfect and wonderful at the funeral. But what else would we expect from you? You are fabulous Gigi!!
