Music Monday - what a difference a week makes

Last Monday I posted a funny music memory... this week it is a sad one, but about the same person. My dear friend Susie lost her mother to cancer this past week. My heart is broken for her and for all they went through. It is times like these that I am forever grateful for the knowledge of God's plan and forever families. For my testimony that The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is the true church and has the fully restored gospel. I love you Sus and will miss your mom! She put up with a lot from us in our hey day!!
This song resonated with me when my sister passed away... so I dedicate it to the family of Irene Burnett. God bless you all and know that you are in our thoughts and prayers. (the music is below on my playlist - it's a beautiful song!)

"To Where You Are"
Who can say for certain Maybe you're still here
I feel you all around me Your memory's so clear
Deep in the stillness I can hear you speak
You're still an inspiration Can it be?
That you are mine Forever love
And you are watching over me from up above
Fly me up to where you are Beyond the distant star
I wish upon tonight To see you smile
If only for awhile to know you're there
A breath away's not far To where you are
Are you gently sleeping Here inside my dream
And isn't faith believing All power can't be seen
As my heart holds you Just one beat away
I cherish all you gave me everyday
'Cause you are my Forever love
Watching me from up above
And I believe That angels breathe
And that love will live on and never leave
Fly me up To where you are Beyond the distant star
I wish upon tonight To see you smile If only for awhile
To know you're there A breath away's not far
To where you are I know you're there
A breath away's not far To where you are

It's wonderful to have the Gospel and an understanding of the Plan of Salvation at times like this, isn't it. I hope it's a comfort to you, your friend, and her family.
