I am not gone
I am not gone, I am changed.
Have faith and please believe me.
God did not take me away from you,
He split the skies and received me.
Now....
I'm an echo in your laughter,
a reflection in your tears,
an extra thread of strength
to help you overcome your fears.

I'm an added ray of sunshine,
more joy for you to share,
a fragrance of the life you live.
Wherever you are - I am there.

In Loving Memory
of
Larry Verdelle Shannon
Oct. 12,1944 - Oct. 11, 2002
Music By Josh Groban
The poem "I Am Not Gone"was written by
Terri McPherson who so graciously
allowed me to place it here as a tribute.
