Too Little... Too Late for Terri....

Dear Terri,

They just wouldn't listen,

I know you are in heaven now... You fought the good fight.
You have inspired a nation and a world to preserve life...
A silent witness's testimony to the depth of your being.
They can not say you were not there...because you touched me.

Fly Free Terri ......... fly with the angels....
Free from the confines of your tragic earthly limitations...
Free to walk unhurriedly on the gilded paths of kinder heaven...
Free to stand in the radiant light of our Savior's pure love...
Free to unfold your loving arms and embrace your true guardian...
Free to join with the angels in triumphant celestial choir...
Free to splash in pools of hallowed compassionate angel tears...
Free to converse with cherubim and seraphim on a gentle plain...
Free to drink freely from the living waters of our Lord's love...

Fly Free Terri.....We won't forget you....
you have left your eloquent lessons on our hearts.


We called them... we marched... we emailed.... we debated...
we screamed.... we raged against the injustice waged upon you...
we reasoned.... we huddled.... we cringed.... we endured....
we prayed.... fervently..... endlessly..... we hoped....
we always had hope.... each tiny victory brought relief....
each defeat..... we did not break down into despair...
We know you fought.... struggled.... and showed determination....
we know that you did not want to go.... you clung to hope....
you did not despair either Terri... you just went on....

You have shown us the enemy.... and we will prevail....
