If TOMORROW STARTS WITHOUT ME
If tomorrow starts without me,
And I'm 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 that 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 turned 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 left yet to do,
It seemed almost impossible,
That I was leaving you.
I thought of all the yesterdays,
The good ones and the bad,
I thought of all that we shared,
And all the fun we had.
If I could relive yesterday,
Just even for a while,
I'd say good-bye and kiss you
And maybe see you smile.
But then I fully realized,
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 some tomorrow,
I thought of you, and when I did,
My heart was filled with sorrow.
But when I walked through heaven's gates,
I felt so much at home.
When God looked down and smiled at me,
From His great golden throne,
He said, "Thi s is eternity,
And all I've promised you."
Today your life on earth is past,
But here life starts anew.
I promise no tomorrow,
But today will always last,
And since each day is the same way,
There's no longing for the past.
So when tomorrow starts without me,
Don't think we're far apart,
For every time you think of me,
I'm right here in your heart.
To Mom and Mike and Stacy

Just no words. No words. It will be just one hour, one half hour, one minute at a time and healing will come. The Lord will sustain you - just put your trust in Him. Greg has come to the end of what we feel is a much too short journey but God knowing tomorrow in His gentle mercies saw fit to say, "Greg, come up higher". I just wish not so soon as I had only had honor of loving him for a short while - he was so sweet - so fun. I had a blast worrying with him at the wedding we would be the one to do the wedding blooper and hey, we knew they couldn't throw us out, we were family, so we winged it, and hey Greg, we made it pretty good. The last time I saw Greg was here in my house and I was teasing him about a wife and he was in no hurry. And I told him that day that he was my nephew too, that I was Aunt Weese and our doors were open to him anytime, always welcome. Well look at you, Greg Lehman, you beat us all to a brand new home and no mortgage. Live forever my nephew in the presence of God and I'll see you on that day when God says to me, "Louise, come up higher". Hope it will be a while but at any rate, Greg, meet me at the gate if you aren't busy worshipping our King. You are now whole, Sweetheart. Love you, Aunt Weese

I don't even know what to say, but this is for Uncle Greg. I remember hearing The Offspring from him first and this song is appropriate.
"Maybe in another life
I could find you there
Pulled away before your time
I can't deal it's so unfair
And it feels
And it feels like
Heaven's so far away
And it feels
Yeah it feels like
The world has grown cold
Now that you've gone away"
(Gone Away by The Offspring)
I will never forget all the great times I had with my Uncle Greg. I love you Uncle Greg, I will see you again whenever my time may come. We will make heaven rock.

Greg turned out to be such a lovely young man. I remember when he and Mike were little, his dad would bring them over for a visit. I'd always make them hot dogs and kraft macaroni and cheese for dinner. Years later, Greg thanked me for always fixing his favorite dinner. I was embarassed to tell him that I made it because it was all I knew how to cook at the time! But we had a good laugh. I probably wasn't the best stepmother, but I shall always treasure the few years he was a member of my family. I thank Suzanne and God for sharing him with me.

Greg, I am so happy that we got to be friends since the first day of kindergarten. I am also grateful to have ran into you a few times over the past months. I am sad to imagine not seeing your smiling face. Until we meet again my friend, God speed...
Love, Colleen
