As Jesus Leads You Home The Wolf Howls In Mourning! We all lost a very dear friend, Mum, & Sister! Most knew her as SammysMum or NZMum. But anyone who knew her knows we lost one of Earths greatest treasures. She was one of the most caring and loving woman you would ever meet any where and was loved by all who had the chance to know her! Sandie (Sammy) Table 10 at BOL mourns with you! We know the loss is different than that of yours but we loved her as well and our hearts are breaking with you, we cry with you! We are here for support when you need us! We are all supporting each other as we go through this loss. It's hard for us mortals to understand when the Lord calls an Angel Home. The Angels in Heaven shout and celebrate as we Mourn and cry. Mum wouldn't want us to spend a lot of time crying she would rather we celebrate the life she lived. So even though we are Mortal and can't help feeling the pain let us try to remember the So sweet one who always had a warm hug and kind word for us all. If we needed a shoulder to cry on she would lend hers anytime. She never found fault in none she just listened and loved us the best she could from afar. That is what she would want us to remember is her life not her passing. She is in heaven with her Husband who went ahead of her to pave the way and now she joins him on his Birthday. She has no more pain to suffer and she wanted to be able to see us all well she got her wish for now she can look down upon us and truly smile for she has the priviledge of having all her family in her sight now. WE LOVE YOU MUM!

OUR NZ MUM She was Mum to most, And Sis to some; We all shed tears today, As the Lord took our Mum! I look up to Heaven, For answers that I seek; I feel the soft breeze, It's as if you speak. You say "My child, please don't cry for me; I have no more pain, And am with Jesus you see!" Then upon the breeze, I feel your arms suround me; I lay my head upon your shoulder, You feel all warm and snuggly. You hold me for awhile, Then say so tenderly; "Go now my Wolf-Child, Be with our family!" So off I went to BOL, Flew straight to table ten; Because one things for sure, There you'll always find a friend! Wrote for NZMUM May 8, 2001 By: Teresa Piercey-Gates The WolfPoet

REST IN PEACE MUM!
