Rainbow\'s End Memorial
We do not need a special day to bring you to our minds.
The days that we don\'t think of you are very hard to find.
Each morning when we awake, we know that you are gone,
And nobody knows the heartache as we try to carry on.
Our hearts still ache with sadness and secret tears still flow.
What it meant to lose someone like you no one will ever know.
Our thoughts are clearly with you, your place no one can fill.
In life we loved you dearly in death we love you still.
There will always be a heartache and sometimes we\'ll shed a tear,
For there remain precious memories of the days when you were here.
If tears could make a staircase and heartaches make a lane,
We\'d walk the path to Heaven and bring you home again.
So we\'ll let our angels guide us right to the Rainbow\'s End
They\'ll walk with us throughout our lives until we meet again.

My thoughts and prayers are with each of you. I will miss my Dear Sweet Sister and Friend! She blessed my life with her strength and perserverence. I cherish our memories together especially when you all were children and we would get together do our spa treatments mud masks, massages and nails while we all laughed and had such a great time together. I look forward to her laughter one day again in heaven. Chelinda was an inspiration to me with her Strength and endurance with whatever life handed her. My Love and Prayers are with you.

To the family of Chelinda, please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers during this time of sorrow. I remember Chelinda with that big beautiful smile on her face as well. Such a sweet and kind hearted person who in my eyes is gone to soon, but I have comfort in knowing that Chelinda is with my Lord and we will see her again. For none of us lives to him/herself, and no man/woman dies to him/herself. For whether we live, we live unto the Lord; and whether we die, we die unto the Lord: whether we live therefore, or die, we are the Lord's. (Romans 14:7-8) May God bless and keep you during this difficult time.
