lift us from loneliness

and weakness and despair

to strength and beauty

and happiness."

~ Floyd W. Tomkins ~

that we might return to our heart,

The Sweetest Angel

"The golden moments

in the stream of life

rush past us and we see

nothing but sand; the

angels come to visit us,

and we only know them

when they are gone."

 ~ George Elliot ~

What was written on the

back of the original card

tugged at my heartstrings:

"To Helen from Grandma"

My Grandma Leasure's

name was Helen. She

was an angel to me.
