Karen Anne Carpenter (March 2, 1950 β February 4, 1983) was the lead singer for the soft-rock duo the Carpenters, who scored a string of Top 10 hits in the early '70s, including "(They Long to Be) Close to You," "We've Only Just Begun," "Rainy Days and Mondays," and "Yesterday Once More." Carpenter recorded one solo album in the late '70s, yet it was unreleased at the time. Following the recording of the record, she returned to the Carpenters, and they had one final Top 40 hit -- "Touch Me When We're Dancing" -- in 1981 before she tragically died of heart failure, brought on by anorexia nervosa, in February of 1983. Her unreleased solo album, titled Karen Carpenter, was finally released in the fall of 1996.

A candle to remember, may it burn ever so bright
As I look to the heavens on this very night.
Beyond the stars, your loved one soars
Embraced by their Saviour on heaven's shores.
As the angels protect them and sing their sweet name
We honour their lives with the glow of this flame.
So I light this candle for your loved ones tonight
As a symbol of my love and their eternal life.

A butterfly lights beside us like a sunbeam
And for a brief moment its glory
And beauty belong to our world
But then it flies again
And though we wish it could have stayed...
We feel lucky to have seen it.

♥†♥ Hugs From Heaven ♥†♥
When you feel a gentle breeze
Caress you when you sigh
It's a hug sent from Heaven
From a loved one way up high.
If a soft and tender raindrop
Lands upon your nose
They've added a small kiss
As fragile as a rose.
If a song you hear fills you
With a feeling of sweet love
It's a hug sent from Heaven
From someone special up above.
If you awaken in the morning
To a bluebird's chirping song
It's music sent from Heaven
To cheer you all day long.
If tiny little snowflakes
Land upon your face
It's a hug sent from Heaven
Trimmed with Angel lace.
So keep the joy in your heart
If you're lonely my dear friend
Hugs that are sent from Heaven
A broken heart will mend.

Come Sing with Me
~ Marilyn Hinson ~
-:|:-.....-:|:-.....-:|:-.....-:|:-.....-:|:-.....-:|:-.....-:|:-
Come sing with me of being free
Of fluffy clouds above the sea,
Billowing, swirling, as if at play
Reflecting soft colours at the close of day.
-:|:-
Come sing with me of soft, white sand
Of friends together, walking hand in hand,
Of a shoreline stretching far and wide
Of the moon and stars at evening tide.
-:|:-
Shells scatter on the beach, washed in by tides--
Not so different from our own lives;
Each shell separate, no two the same
Though mingled together, each has its own name.
-:|:-
Come sing with me of each man's worth
A right we have from time of birth;
We all are different, no two the same
Yet God knows each of us by our name.

*α¦* My Memories *α¦*
(Patience Strong)
On the road that all must tread
You have travelled on ahead
Out into the morning light
Out of reach and out of sight
But never far away
For every night and every day
On the wings of memory
Something brings you back to me
Some simple and familiar thing
That sets my heart remembering.
