On The Wings of Angels

Our Annie is in exquisite beauty and peace. She was ushered upward on the wings of angels earlier this morning as we surrounded her and witnessed her blessed passing. As my heart became numb from the overwhelming rush of pain it was comforted by the amazing aura of peace emanating from Anne. I still am waiting to hear her call my name to help her out of bed. The reality escapes me but not the constant love that will always be. Last evening, as Anne lay still, her breaths quiet and slow, Nancy, Angela, Leslie, and Maureen tended her while Russell and I exchanged life stories in the living room. Lucy was with her friend Tina. Owen was being comforted by his girlfriend Laura. The house was serene with an air of sweet sadness. I believe that the quality of those last hours were manifested by Anne's internal peace and her desire to let us know she is and will be fine. It was evident by how she looked as she passed from this world into the next. Annie my beloved, your timing and intent were filled with the grace and beauty that you embodied. Thank you for honoring us the privilege of being with you .You live always in our hearts.

At this time we are preparing the house for an in home funeral. We would like to invite anyone who wishes to be with Anne to visit tomorrow (Saturday) between 12 p.m.and 6p.m.

Please surround Harry and Mary Brent with your love and thoughts of comfort. I can not imagine the grief that losing a child brings.

Love,

Dennis

What a wonderful gift you gave Anne in her last hours to surround her with such loving care and open hearts. The beautiful grace and courage in her surrender to the mystery of death serves as an inspiration to all of us left behind.
Sending you prayers and love.
