I Believe-lyrics by Diamond Rio
Every now and then, soft as breath upon my skin, I feel you come back again, and it's like you haven't been gone a moment from my side, Like the tears were never cried,  Like the hands of time were pulling you and me,  And with all my heart I'm sure we're closer than we ever were,  I don't have to hear or see, I've got all the proof I need,  There are more than angels watching over me, I believe, Oh I believe  Now when you die and life goes on, it doesn't end here when you're gone, every soul has found a flight,  It never ends if I'm right  Our love can even reach eternity, I believe, Oh, I believe  Forever you're a part of me, Forever in the heart of me, I will hold you even longer than I can,  Oh the people, who don't see the most,  See that I believe in ghosts, if that makes me crazy, then I am  Cause I believe Oh, I believe  There are more than angels watching over me, I believe, Oh I believe  Every now and then, soft as breath upon my skin,  I feel you come back again,  And I believe

My one and only Mimi

Sweet Embrace
My every care erased.
In your arms
Forever sheltered from harm.
Fresh smells of powder and perfume
Always smelling of a flower in bloom.
Kind words, and weathered hands
Knowing where to always stand.
Love holding no bounds
Your spirit now surrounds.
Peace above and angels keep thee
Til the day we meet at Jesus' Feet.

My love Eternal,
Joanie Kay

I love & miss you so!
