"I would like to share a poem with you to comfort you in your lost . . .

"You can shed tears that she is gone Or you can smile because she has lived You can close your eyes and pray that she will come back Or you can open your eyes and see all that she has left Your heart can be empty because you can't see her Or you can be full of the love that you shared You can turn your back on tomorrow and live yesterday Or you can be happy for tomorrow because of yesterday You can remember her and only that she is gone Or you can cherish her memory and let it live on You can cry and close your mind, be empty and turn your back Or you can do what she would want
smile, open your eyes, love and go on."

"God looked around his garden And found an empty place, He then looked down upon the earth And saw your tired face. He put his arms around you And lifted you to rest. God's garden must be beautiful He always takes the best. He knew that you were suffering He knew you were in pain. He knew that you would never Get well on earth again. He saw the road was getting rough And the hills were hard to climb. So he closed your weary eyelids And whispered, "Peace bethine". It broke our hearts to lose you But you didn't go alone, For part of us went with you The day God called you home", said Rev.
Brown.

Daisy! I

this sermon. So sorry you lost Regina. Her husband, Paul, is extremely handsome! whacky

Who is that person walking out beside him at the end? Is that, Rhys, stuck up in her thought cloud? Oh, never mind... I looked at your pics again to see. It was Shannon. She must think Rhys is hot. lol1

Didn't look like it was, Paul.

I really heartpump

the last poem that, Rev Brown spoke. So comforting. Regina, aged gracefully. She was pretty in her old age. How old was she, Daisy?

tnx4sharing

Very nice.

Your sims are all so beautiful. The church pews are so realistic as is the whole church. Your screenshots tell the story to perfection. Great story! Sorry for your loss!

for reading.
BBdoll, Gina and her husband Paul were already elders when I put them and their sons Nick and Tony in the neighborhood.

Awwwee! I just look forward to your stories, Births, Weddings, Funerals and all. I agree with Tricia, perfection with each story, and it gets better each time.

Would you happen to have a younger sim version of Paul? I would heartpump

to have him. I've gotta start playing my game more to see what they all will look like when they grow old. The only one so far who has gotten old, and that was by mistake, was my Greeman Father. Jason I think his name is. He is quite handsome. whacky

Anyway, I always look forward to reading your stories. extrahappy

I can tell you put a lot of work into them. Great Job!

BBdoll, I uploaded an adult version of Paul Carras Here: [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] He's wearing a Maxis outfit. In my story he's a SBB, so he looks a little different. mickeywave

Hi Daisy,

I've been under the weather and not online much but am feeling a little bit better, so trying to catch up.

So, sad to see another elder Sim pass on sad

--even though I didn't get to know her well. I love the "In Memory" pictuure of her. And, a bit sad to see Paul sitting in the pew alone.

Excellent words from Rev. Brown. You always do such a fantastic job with your stories. bravo
