I would like to offer my condolences to Sarina Snow on the passing of her mother.

My Amazing Mom
I regret to inform all of my friends and family that yesterday morning ?The Amazing? Eleanor Irene Dalven, my beloved mother has left me to be an orphan. She was my best friend and I will miss her terribly. I have been blessed to have wonderful parents. My mom's passing was somewhat a surprise. She was an independent woman who lived on her own, prepared her own meals, went to the beauty parlor, not only for hair cuts but her regular manicures, played cards with her friends and celebrated all birthdays, anniversaries and holidays with us even though she was 94 ? years young. As long as I can remember she never said a bad word about anyone and was always a good listener, she was very understanding and never forced advice on me. Yes, I guess I knew in my heart that she was getting very weary?just watching Regis ?Do You Want To Be A Millionaire? and Lingo on TV all day for what else could she do? She was a wonderful daughter who cared for her parents until they passed, cared for my wonderful father, Dave and of course me and my husband. My children always had been treated to a home cooked meal, never a frozen anything as well as lot's of love and understanding. As for me what can I say, she was my everything!
When Tomorrow Starts Without Me
When 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 the love 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 come 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, "This 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's the same way
There's no longing for the past.
You have been so faithful,
So trusting and so true.
though there were times
You did some things You knew
You shouldn't do
But you have been forgiven
And now at last you're free.
So won't you come and take my hand
And share my life with me?
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.

I will always love you, not for just an hour, not for just a day, not for just a year but always!
Your Daughter,
Sarina
