Sherry "Lynn" Chatman was a very loving wife, an awesome mother, an adored sister and a devoted Christian who will be truly missed.Time is too slow for those who wait; Too swift for those who fear; Too long for those who grieve; Too short for those who rejoice; But for those who love, time is eternity. If I should die and leave you here a while, be not like others sore undone who keep long vigil by the silent dust. For my sake turn again to life and smile, nerving thy heart and trembling hand to do something to comfort other hearts than mine. Complete these dear unfinished tasks of mine and I perchance may therein comfort you. If only we could see the splendor of the land to which our loved ones are called from you and me, we’d understand. If only we could hear the welcome they receive from old familiar voices all so dear, we would not grieve. If only we could know the reason why they went, we’d smile and wipe away the tears that flow and wait content. If I should go tomorrow, it would never be goodbye. For I have left my heart with you, so don’t you ever cry. The love that’s deep within me shall reach you from the stars because you’ll feel it from the heavens and it will heal the scars. Peace, my heart will let the time for the parting be sweet. Let it not be a death but completeness. Let love melt into memory and pain into songs. Let the flight through the sky end in the folding of the wings over the nest. Let the last touch of your hands be gentle like the flower of the night. Stand still during this beautiful end for a moment and say your last words in silence. I bow to you and hold up my lamp to light your way.
From the Family: Each night we shed a silent tear as we speak to you in prayer. To let you know we love you and just how much we care. Take our million teardrops, wrap them up in love,
then ask the wind to carry them to you in heaven above.
