When I think back on the time Maya Angelou was born and all the ugly pit falls she had to go through and deal with, it reassures me that one person can make a difference with God on their side. My deepest condolences to Guy and to Rosa We must walk in that light and be light to others. We give thanks for the light Dr Angelou shared so freely. “I am human, nothing human is alien to me. ”Īs a mother, I have lost someone whose imposing presence rendered my young son speechless.Īs a reader, I have lost the weaver of stories: stories that captured life in all it’s complexity while inspiring hope.Īs a lover of music and theater, I have lost that full throated, unashamed voice, a voice that lifted the songs of my people AND the drama of the ancient Greeks.Īs a teacher, I have lost one who never doubted the capacity of every human being to be changed and to do good.Īs a human being, I have lost the one who reminded us. Someone who once served me gravy at one of her famous Thanksgiving Dinners.Īs a leader, I have lost the avatar who repeatedly reminded me (us) “courage is the virtue without which all other virtues are impossible. You are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think, but the most important thing is, even if we’re apart… I’ll always be with you.As a resident of Winston-Salem, I have lost a neighbor: someone I saw in the Grocery Store or Christmas Shopping. If ever there is tomorrow when we’re not together…there is something you must always remember. The angels are always near to those who are grieving, to whisper to them that their loved ones are safe in the hand of God. THOMAS CAMPBELLĭeath leaves a heartache no one can heal, love leaves a memory no one can steal. To live in hearts we leave behind. Is not to die.

The less said about life’s sores the better. One should sympathize with the color, the beauty, the joy of life. There is something terribly morbid in the modern sympathy with pain. The greater the link, the more easily they influence each other. It states that the more similar two objects are, the greater the sympathetic link. The law of sympathy is one of the most basic parts of magic. Sympathy is two hearts tugging at one load. While we are mourning the loss of our friend, others are rejoicing to meet him behind the veil. MAHATMA GANDHI ( more Mahatma Gandhi quotes) Wherever you are, you will always be in my heart. KAHLIL GIBRAN ( more Kahlil Gibran quotes) When you are sorrowful look again in your heart, and you shall see that in truth you are weeping for that which has been your delight. Tears are only water, and flowers, trees, and fruit cannot grow without water. JONI MITCHELLĭon’t be ashamed to weep ’tis right to grieve. Sorrow is so easy to express and yet so hard to tell. It tells us to tell each other right now that we love each other. Wishing you strength for today and hope for tomorrow. We must embrace pain and burn it as fuel for our journey. Life isn’t about waiting for the storm to pass… It’s about learning to dance in the rain. Those we love and lose are always connected by heartstrings into infinity. ROBERT LOUIS STEVENSONĪpathy perishes us, while sympathy empowers us. Like a bird singing in the rain, let grateful memories survive in time of sorrow. HELEN KELLER ( more Helen Keller quotes)Ī great soul serves everyone all the time. All that we love deeply becomes a part of us. What we have once enjoyed we can never lose. What is lovely never dies, but passes into another loveliness, Stardust or sea foam, Flower or winged air. It acts to remove the ceaseless sufferings of the world.
