It is with heavy heart that I write this. A mama I know from a forum board I am on has passed away
from her battle of cancer recently. She was a great mother and a wonderful person.

To the family of the mightiest mama, may you be well,
may time heal all wounds
and may your beloved rest peacefully.
Jessica, you were loved.

Honoring of those who have passed:
Song to play before reading – Fly by Celine Dion
Do not stand at my grave and weep
I am not there; I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow,
I am the diamond glints on snow,
I am the sun on ripened grain,
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awaken in [...]

Jeff, please repeat after me:
Sheal, I give [...]

Readings
Reading (done by Matron of Honor – Christine)
Love feels no burden,
thinks nothing of trouble,
attempts what is above its strength,
pleads no excuse of impossibility…
It is therefore able to undertake all things,
and it completes many things,
and warrants them to take effect,
where he who does not
love would faint and lie down.
Love is watchful and sleeping,
slumbereth not.
Though weary, it [...]

First Reading:
Read by Sister of the Bride – Sheriesse
The Art of a Good Relationship
The little things are as important as the big things.
It is never being too old to hold hands.
It is remembering to say “I love you” at least once a day.

It is at no time taking the [...]
