What a beautiful memorial service tonight. Cindy touched so many lives. Her legacy will live on in those who knew and loved her.

I'm looking forward to being at the grave side services on Friday.

We so wanted to come to at least one of the memorials for Cindy, but were unable. Please know that you're in our hearts and prayers. We love you so much. Mark and Kristi

Mark Harris - Wish You Were Here
From the album The Line Between The Two

I wanted to tell you how closely I've kept
The memories of you in my heart
And all of the lifetimes that we had to share
Live even though we're apart
But don't cry for me
'Cause I'm finally free
(Chorus)
To run with the angels
On streets made of gold
To listen to stories of saints new and old
To worship our Maker
That's where I'll be
When you finally find me

No don't you be weary cause waiting for you
Are wonders that you've never known
Just hold on to Jesus, reach out for his hands
And one day They'll welcome you home
And that's when you'll be
Finally free
Finally free

(Chorus)
I wish you were here, I wish you were here

And all of the dreams that you treasure
Will soon come together
And that's when your sorrow will find tomorrow
And you will rise again

(Chorus)

We'll run with the angels on streets made of gold
We'll listen to stories of saints new and old
We'll worship our maker that's where we'll be
When you finally find me

I wish you were here

For the benefit of those who do not know, The Owen Family Cemetery is where Kevin's grandparents and other immediate family are buried. The cemetery came out of a farm belonging to Gilbert Owen, brother of Wilson Owen, Kevin's granddad, at the suggestion of Kevin's great granddad, James Walton Owen. One day back in the 50s, Walton and Gilbert, his son, were standing where the cemetery is now, and Walton told Gilbert, this is where I want to be buried. Gilbert took that suggestion and carved out the land from his farm. Walton was buried there in 1959. I was glad when I heard that Cindy would be buried there, thinking, it is good to have a place for family to come home to. Am am happy that my grandfather Walton made the suggestion. Following the death of my dad, Gilbert, who is buried there, the cemetery was incorporated under the name James Walton Owen Cemetery. A fund has been established to ensure its care for years to come.

What a beatiful service today. Driving up, I kept thinking of how pleased Cindy would be with the site. It is truly a beautiul place for a soul's rest. She often told me how much she loved the tall trees and green grass that we have here in the South.

It was mostly cloudy today, but as we sang that last song, the sun broke through. In that sunlight I thought I heard God singing over Cindy. I only caught a glimpse of the sun. Cindy sees the full glory of the Son's face for all eternity. I only heard a faint sound of the Father's song, but Cindy now hears it fully. One day we'll all join that chorus and we'll all sing together in the presence of Jesus. One day.

I feel so blessed to have been there for the service in New Mexico. Cindy was and is a beautiful soul. She will be missed here on earth greatly. Still, I am delighted to know that I now have a good friend in heaven...it brings a smile to my face. During our prayer time this morning, Levi prayed, "God, just help Cindy enjoy heaven today." Brought a tear to my face and joy to my heart. He also prayed for Reid, as he always does. Know that our hearts and prayers are always with you, Owen family. And Kevin, it reassures my faith to see you walk this with confidence and understanding. God bless you this week.

I'll echo Mika on it is good to see you walk in faith through this, and I've only "seen" it here on your blog. But it was good to hug your neck Friday.
