My daughter wrote this today on the anniversary of losing a friend, and after reading this page. I just wanted to share it.

for those who came in before me and those who came in after.

You were here to greet me, coming in
and share this place with me: my family. my friend.
When it is time for you to move on again,
I'll hold the door for you: a parting, but never an end.

I am here to greet you, coming in,
and walk you through like those before;
and when it is time for me to move on,
my family, my friend!
hold the door, please, hold the door!

wanted to mention that the poem my mom (Luna) posted above was with a kind thought towards Matthew as well as in honor of my friend's birthday on Saturday 08-08 (she passed soon after the day, last year); I was inspired to write it after she (my mom) and I were talking about flowers for your mother, Matthew. Yes, indeed, an online community can be a very kind place - most especially when it it forms of like-minded, creative, thoughtful people! Hope to get to meet some of you some day. Be well.

The page is still up if anyone else would like to contribute to a floral arrangement for Matthew's mother's funeral. Thank you to the many who have already done so.

Don't have a time yet, but if you call the church they can tell you how early someone will be there...

Got a machine at the church, so I ask for a Friday delivery. Let me know if that's not OK....

(The bow made of thongs on the arrangement was my idea)

that would be easy to do you have the thongs, all you need is a good hound dog

How disgusting. This post was done to show respect. You have been nothing but disrespectfull, since your mother died. Not only to mother, but to members here, who have went out of their way. Shame.

I was adding levity, sorry that you are upset

I see nothing disrespectful in any of matthew's behahaviour.

matthew and I have been yanking each other's chains since we first met, to stop doing so now and to assume a suddenly emotional and loving relationship is hardly sincere.
I grieve for him, his family and have prayed for his mother. Certainly this is a difficult time for them all.
In retrospect our banter if fitting, your lashing out at him, ThinkDrawUs, is rather crude.
