Prayers for 'Toyful'!

God saw She was getting tired,
And a cure was not to be.
So He put His arms around her,
And whispered, "Come with me."
With tear filled eyes we watched her,
Suffer and fade away.
Although we loved her deeply,
We could not make her stay.
A golden heart stopped beating.
Hard working hands put to rest.
God broke our hearts to prove to us
He only takes the best.

You were loved by many people.  God bless your family.

Ah Michelle you are home. Held gently in the arms of The Lord as he receives you into his Sanctuary. You leave behind those you love who's hearts ache with the pain of memories. I pray they remember the vivacious, intelligent woman who shared her love of life and family with the circle of sisters here who mourn her passing. God Bless you dear one. May you rest, finally, in peace.

toyful was a very special woman, with great humor, great courage and zest for life.  I loved her and am so thankful that we had become friends.  Another shining star in the sky.  Wrapping her family in big hugs and prayers.

Dear Family of Michelle, our dear Toyful.

I'm a 'self-taught, absolute beginning' photographer. A person with a camera and a willingness to look for pictures to take. A year ago we were in FL on vacation. One morning I awoke before dawn quite unexpectedly and grabbed my camera and headed down to the beach.

It was the very morning that we had scheduled to meet with the recent widower of a dear BCO sister, named CTG, who was beloved by many and had passed to heaven a few weeks earlier.

I was clicking away, taking pics as the sun came up. It wasn't until I got the photos down-loaded to my laptop that I discovered this image that I'd taken, quite unknowingly, which later brought me a great deal of comfort...... and a great deal of comfort ultimately when I shared it with CTG's family.

A Creator who creates such powerful places as a gentle beach breeze on a Hawaiian shore is made visible in a glimmer over a beach in Florida as the sun arises. It is my belief that Michelle was greeted with open arms by members of our sisterhood who have proceeded her to their heavenly reward.

I can only imagine CTG, AlaskaDeb, SloneDeb and the rest of our sisters from here -- greeting Toyful and singing triumphantly......angelic campfire songs of welcome and joy.

Here's my own personal glimpse into heaven. It's just a peak..... but it gives me such assurance.

When I die    By Debbie G

When I die sing no sad song for me,

and cry no tears for you see, My death

has been kinda a pleasure for me, Cause

there is no more pain, I am set free.

Don't stand by my grave and wonder why?

Why this person had to die, Cause I will be with

my love ones in heaven you see and oh how happy

I will be.

I cannot make the sparrow fly,

Nor can I understand

What makes the clouds hang in the sky,

But I know One who can.



I cannot make the ocean waves

Dash forth against the land;

I cannot help the soul that craves,

But I know One who can.



I cannot hear the humble prayers

Of those of foreign clans;

I cannot ease their wants and cares,

But I know One who can.



I cannot lead the erring ones

With mine own trembling hand;

Nor yet restore the hope that's gone,

But I know One who can.



I cannot see the broken hearts

That long for joy again;

Nor can I mend the broken parts,

But I know One who can.



I cannot heal the many ills

That come so oft to man;

I cannot give the joy that fills,

But I know One who can.



I cannot know why trials fall

Within our life's short span;

But my God understands it all,

And He's the One who can!

I don't want to let you go Michelle, but the choice isn't up to me.  And so, until we meet again..........I can still send you my love.

I did not know Michelle....but I was her sister on this board. 

May God hold your family in his arms during this time.  You are in no pain now....

I too did not know Toyful but i did monitor this thread to see how she was and for any updates that came along.

It is very said that she has passed, but like many have said she is no longer in pain and is not struggling....she can rest and get to know the other angels that have left us behind....

I know that this must be a hard time for her family and friends and just want to let them know that they are in my prayers and thoughts....may they find peace as well.

With sympathy and love,

Sending prayers of support to our Toyful Family as you adjust to her absence from your midst.

Treasure the pictures and memories. Share the stories and jokes that made her time among you so very special.

Know that there are many here, who are sending our prayers...... especially so today.

Gather together in loving honor of a very brave woman.

As Miss S said above, I echo, thanks for sharing her with us.
