Update On Joanne
____________________________ A meeting place for the FRIAMILY of Joanne Daquano _____________________________Saturday, September 16
Sat Sept 16
I knelt down and prayed to God with my children. The precious gifts given to me by God and my Angel.
It gives me peace.
It gives me hope.
It eases my pain.
Upon our completion, we were about to leave when my wonderful friend Toby Chisholm [Funeral Director] reminded/told me that the casket will be closed tomorrow ... as is custom.
I should say my goodbyes.
How do I do this?
How can I take a few moments to encapsulate a lifetime's worth of love?
What could I possibly have said that would even remotely have any significance or bearing to what is us? Or is that "was" us?
WE ARE.
WE WERE.
WE WILL BE.
We have always signed our cards to each other "Forever and Always". My God how significant is THAT?
My God the pain, the sorrow, the hurt, the surreal. Help me understand. Give me peace; give me strength.
I knelt down on my knees (funny how comfortable it actually was). I prayed to God with an Our Father, and I asked God to welcome our Angel into his house. I asked him to give her the keys to his house in case she came home late one night having to watch over one of us.
I asked him to peek in on us every once in a while to make sure we were okay. Bless our hearts for they are sad. Give us the strength to overcome our fear. Let our Angel watch over us, and give us some signs that she is there ... in our actions and in our words.
My God. My Angel.
Farewell. (Goodbye seems so trivial.)
We shall meet again in the house of our Lord.
I love you.
Goodbye.
It gives me peace.
It gives me hope.

Goodbye My Lover
James Blunt
Did I disappoint you or let you down?
Should I be feeling guilty or let the judges frown?
'Cause I saw the end before we'd begun,
Yes I saw you were blinded and I knew I had won.
So I took what's mine by eternal right.
Took your soul out into the night.
It may be over but it won't stop there,
I am here for you if you'd only care.
You touched my heart you touched my soul.
You changed my life and all my goals.
And love is blind and that I knew when,
My heart was blinded by you.
I've kissed your lips and held your head.
Shared your dreams and shared your bed.
I know you well, I know your smell.
I've been addicted to you.
Goodbye my lover.
Goodbye my friend.
You have been the one.
You have been the one for me.
I am a dreamer but when I wake,
You can't break my spirit - it's my dreams you take.
And as you move on, remember me,
Remember us and all we used to be
I've seen you cry, I've seen you smile.
I've watched you sleeping for a while.
I'd be the father of your child.
I'd spend a lifetime with you.
I know your fears and you know mine.
We've had our doubts but now we're fine,
And I love you, I swear that's true.
I cannot live without you.
Goodbye my lover.
Goodbye my friend.
You have been the one.
You have been the one for me.
And I still hold your hand in mine.
In mine when I'm asleep.
And I will bear my soul in time,
When I'm kneeling at your feet.
Goodbye my lover.
Goodbye my friend.
You have been the one.
You have been the one for me.
I'm so hollow, baby, I'm so hollow.
I'm so, I'm so, I'm so hollow.

Mike- with that, my tears are plenty. Having to say goodbye-or farewell to your lover, your friend, your soul mate. The difficuly and emotion that would have entailed. Pillar of strength, I say one more time. As Joanne faught her fight better than anyone could have imagined- you have also. Shown so many people what amazing love is. You too, are an Angel Mike. I am so happy that God has become a source of peace and strength for you- That is what he is there for. God bless you Mike, And your wonderful family. Remember to clean your driveway everyday. Sometimes it will be a light snow fall, and it won't take much to clean it and sometimes there will be a storm, and the snow will be so deep and heavy. And after those storms, your family and your friends will always be available to help you clean your driveway. Love you guys,
Tammy Crawley
