"There will come a day
when the tears of sorrow
will softly flow into tears of remembrance...
and your heart will begin to heal itself...
and grieving will be interrupted by episodes of joy...
and you will hear the whisper of hope.
There will come a day
when you will welcome the tears of remembrance...
as a sunshower of the soul...
a turning of the tide...
a promise of peace.
There will come a day when you will...
risk loving...
go on believing...
and treasure the tears of remembering."
Hugs, Connie ~ GOF

BETTY PEARL BEAN (BLANTON)

BORN FEBRUARY 16, 1932
San Francisco, California.

DIED MARCH 22, 2005

My Mother passed away quietly on March 22, 2005.
After having a series of strokes, being diagnosed with cancer, &
being in a lot of pain; she is now at peace. It was a very sudden
and quick illness. We are thankful that she didn't suffer long.
She was laid to rest on March 26, 2005.
