WHEN TOMORROW STARTS WITHOUT ME
When tomorrow starts without me, and
I'm not there to see;
If the sun should rise and find your
eyes all filled with tears for me;
I wish so much you wouldn't cry the
way you did today,
while thinking of the many things we
didn't get to say.
I know how much you love me, as much
as I love you,
and each time you think of me I know
you'll miss me too;
But when tomorrow starts without me,
please try to understand,
that an angel came and called my
name and took me by the hand,
and said my place was ready in
heaven far above,
and that I'd have to leave behind
all those I dearly love.
But as I turned to walk away, a tear
fell from my eye,
for all life, I'd always thought I
didn't want to die.
I had so much to live for and so
much yet to do,
it seemed almost impossible that I
was leaving you.
I thought of all the yesterdays, the
good ones and the bad,
I thought of all the love we shared
and all the fun we had.
If I could relive yesterday, I
thought, just for awhile,
I'd say goodbye and kiss you and
maybe see you smile.
But then I fully realized that this
could never be,
for emptiness and memories would
take the place of me.
And when I thought of worldly things
that I'd miss come tomorrow,
I thought of you, and when I did, my
heart was filled with sorrow.
But when I walked through heaven's
gates, I felt so much at home.
When God looked down and smiled at
me, from His great golden throne,
He said, "This is eternity and all
I've promised you".
Today for life on earth is past but
here it starts anew.
I promise no tomorrow, but today
will always last,
and since each day's the same day,
there's no longing for the past.
But you have been so faithful, so
trusting, and so true.
Though there were times you did some
things you knew you shouldn't do.
But you have been forgiven and now
at last you’re free.
So won't you take my hand and share
my life with me?
So when tomorrow starts without me,
don't think we're far apart,
for every time you think of me, I'm
right here in your heart.

Cynthia was an extraordinary woman,
she touched many, many lives. As a
mother she was a warm, giving and
always loving, and above all a great
friend, we had a lot of great times.
She suffered from liver cirrhosis
for quite a few years, and fought
her hardest with this disease. She
loved to help people, and she was
often found striking up
conversations everywhere with
everybody :) In April 2002, she lost
her daughter, my sister, to
homicide, this devastated her and
she was never the same after that,
it was then that she started to fail
health wise, and we had hoped for
her to get a new liver, but
unfortunately her lungs were too
weak for the operation. My mom
worked many jobs helping the
disabled and elderly, even when she
was sick, she never complained to
anyone and just kept going and
going. In September 2001, she was
given a week to live, she lasted
three years and fooled them all! I'm
still in a bit of shock that my mom
is gone, I miss and love her so much
and never thought I would lose her
so young, she was 63 years old. She
is survived by her husband John of
43 years, me (Tanya), my sister
Marie, a brother Larry, three
grandchildren David, Joel and Cory
(the children of my deceased sister)
and a great grandson.
