RUFDRAFT Posted March 4, 2009 Report Share Posted March 4, 2009 As most of you know, my mama passed away in early January. Ken found the website at the funeral home and captured a poem of her's. Then - he worked his magic. He took one of his photos and had it embossed on a plaque. On the bottom right corner he put her poem: [i]"If fear is your companion, take my hand And I will help you find a new tomorrow For there is strength in friendship's clasp That lessens every sorrow And though I cannot solve every problem that you bear It will help to ease the burden Just to know that someone's there"[/i] Helena Oesterreich 1918-2009 Ken - When I opened the package and read the poem again, I cried. What a moving gesture from a friend I've yet to meet. Thanks, my brother - from the heart - Ruf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For those of you who don't know him - let me introduce Mustang Crazy! He's a crazy cajun with another big heart. Last year, when my wife was suffering from MS symptoms, this guy took action to help her smile! He - OVERNIGHTED - 5 lbs of Gulf Shrimps to us! I'll never forget the expression on the UPS guy's face when I told him what was in the package he was delivering! :happy feet: And I've got his bail money next time he needs it!
