To Sandra, Bob and Lynn,

A favorite here at Songaia and sung at both Stan and Fred's Memorial  
Services - another Irish Blessing

May the road rise with you,
May the wind be always at your back,
May the sun shine warm upon your face,
May the rain fall gently on your fields,
Until we meet again
May God you
In the hollow of Her (or His) hand.

You are loved and appreciated by so many for all the ways you have  
cared for this group of well-intentioned human beings and our future.   
We have not thanked you enough.  And for all the many ways you cared  
for the people in your community, as a nurse, advocate and friend.   
Your magic has touched so many!   Peace and Blessings to you as you  
travel this last earthly journey, Sandra.

In Wonder and Gratitude,

Carol Crow
