The act of creating a memorial for one who has passed away is an act of spirituality. A memorial tells the world that Marco may be gone, but his spirit lives on. A memorial makes a statement that Marco will forever be tied together in the circle of life. A memorial is a statement that Marco's life mattered & continues to matter. The acts of goodness & courage will never be forgotten. A memorial is a way to remember a loved one forever.

The Rainbow...
I have been to a place that exists somewhere beyond. It is a world of peace and harmony where all creatures are equal and dreams are fulfilled.
No room for false pretences or deception No place for prejudice or hatred.
In this land of everlasting sunshine and magnificent rainbows The scent of flowers lingers, their brilliant colours delight the eyes. Birds create a symphony of merriment as butterflies dance on the air.
A feeling of contentment and joy like none experienced before. Found only in this special place and fills me with hope and renewal. I can believe that anything is possible in this land beyond.
Hold my hand. Let me show you the way. Share with me this magical place Somewhere beyond the rainbow.
And with Love for Marco

Grief -- the Unimaginable Force...
I found this quote on grief and felt this described the emotions very well, as the Unimaginable Force which over takes you. At times it seems that the grief is something that cannot be tolerated any-more, but I believe more the way Laura does that Grief can last a lifetime and can be a major force for change.
~*~
Grief is a tidal wave that over takes you, smashes down upon you with unimaginable force, sweeps you up into its darkness, where you tumble and crash against unidentifiable surfaces, only to be thrown out on an unknown beach, bruised, reshaped...
It is the ashes from which the phoenix rises, and the mettle of rebirth.
It returns life to the living dead. It teaches that there is nothing absolutely true or untrue... Grief will make a new person out of you, if it doesn't kill you in the making.

Wings of Flight...
When all was quiet
And we were sad
Thinking of the
Times we'd had
A butterfly
Then came to us
Flew around
Without a rush
Showed us how
He'd been set free
Drifting off
Where we can't see
Helped us know
He's on his way
We'll treasure this
Each passing day.

Message of Hope...
A whispered wish of remembrance
Silent words of loss
A song of good bye
An unspoken prayer for lasting peaceA message of hope
Rejoice for the spirit that has passed.
Release the sorrow and the sadness.
Rebuild a life again.
Emerging from your cocoon so gently placed
Sensing the freedom in the waiting sky
Wings open and quickly a flight
A drift in the air
dancing with the wind
Aglow in the sunlight. The message of hope
Touching the spirit
Teaching to begin anew
Transforming the wish into hope
on the radiant wing of a butterfly.

Quotes by Wayne Dyer...
"All blame is a waste of time. No matter how much fault you find with another, and regardless of how much you blame him, it will not change you. The only thing blame does is to keep the focus off you when you are looking for external reasons to explain your unhappiness or frustration. You may succeed in making another feel guilty about something by blaming him, but you won't succeed in changing whatever it is about you that is making you unhappy."
~*~
"Stop waiting for others to change. Recognize that every person has the right to be whatever they choose—even if you irritate yourself about it."
~*~
"It's never crowded along the extra mile."
~*~
"Real magic in relationships means an absence of judgement of others."
~*~
"I think and that is all that I am."

Quotes by Wayne Dyer...
"Anything that has been accomplished by any other human being in the physical realm is within the field of possibility."
~*~
"The fact that you are willing to say, 'I do not understand, and it is fine,' is the greatest understanding you could exhibit."
~*~
"If I could define enlightenment briefly I would say it is "the quiet acceptance of what is."
~*~
"Miracles come in moments. Be ready and willing."
~*~
"To sit in judgement of those things which you perceive to be wrong or imperfect is to be one more person who is part of judgement, evil or imperfection."

~*~
"Our lives are a sum total of the choices we have made."
~*~
"Your children will see what you're all about by what you live rather than what you say."

You give but little...
You give but little when you give of your possessions. It is when you give of yourself that you truly give.
