Rainbow Bridge

This page is dedicated to those that have crossed over the Rainbow Bridge.  Although gone, they will forever remain in our hearts.  These truly great individuals loved what they did and I feel certain, that on a search if you look out of the corner of your eye, you can almost see them trying to do their part to help find the next lost child, adult, etc.

I am Still Here

Please don't morn for me,

I am still here, though you don't see.

I am right by your side each night and day,

And within your heart I long to stay.

My body is gone but I am always near,

I am everything you feel, see or hear.

My spirit is free, but I will never depart.

As long as you keep me alive in your heart.

I will never wander out of your sight.

I am the brightest star on the summer night.

I will never be beyond your reach.

I am the warm moist sand when you are at the beach.
