We love you Mom… I miss you so bad… You would have said “so badly”…
So sorry fro your loss.Many of us at Aquarius will miss her.
“If you care to find me, look towards the western sky; as someone told me lately, everyone deserves the chance to fly”…thanks for that chance, Mom. I will always love and cherish you.
I have wonderful memories of Maureen as our next door neighbor in Bowie MD many years ago in the early 70s. She was fun-loving and vivacious , a great mom to Michelle, Stevie and Jeannie and especially loved her beautiful collies Lady and Sir. I know she is a bright light in heaven.
I will always honor and appreciate the honest advice I always received from Maureen. She was a wonderful mother in law and I truly valued her opinion. She understood the joys and struggles of motherhood and always reminded me that I was loved and doing a good job. She will be missed always and I’ll continue to look to her for guidance!!
Maureen was extraordinary. She made a lasting impression on anyone who had the privilege to know her. We hope the Koller family knows how much we will miss her! Our love to you all!
You would know the secret of death.
But how shall you find it unless you seek it in the heart of life?
The owl whose night-bound eyes are blind unto the day cannot unveil the mystery of light.
If you would indeed behold the spirit of death, open your heart wide unto the body of life.
For life and death are one, even as the river and the sea are one.
In the depth of your hopes and desires lies your silent knowledge of the beyond;
And like seeds dreaming beneath the snow your heart dreams of spring.
Trust the dreams, for in them is hidden the gate to eternity.
Your fear of death is but the trembling of the shepherd when he stands before the king whose hand is to be laid upon him in honour.
Is the shepherd not joyful beneath his trembling, that he shall wear the mark of the king?
Yet is he not more mindful of his trembling?
For what is it to die but to stand naked in the wind and to melt into the sun?
And what is it to cease breathing, but to free the breath from its restless tides, that it may rise and expand and seek God unencumbered?
Only when you drink from the river of silence shall you indeed sing.
And when you have reached the mountain top, then you shall begin to climb.
And when the earth shall claim your limbs, then shall you truly dance.
It’s been five years Grandma… I love you and miss you every day. I have some really great friends that I talk to about you. I know your watching over us. We love and miss you Grandma… P.S hay is for horses…
