May Her Soul Rest In Peace, Claudette Yamin - UPDATED info

Wow, 2 weeks with no internet and when I finally get one, this is the news I get. May her soul rest in peace. I'm sure she's happy leaving Elliott in a very good place. Her dying peacefully is an assurance that she is confident and happy in leaving her family in good places. God bless her kindred soul. Mwah!!!

HI Y'all, Here is another tribute for Claudette "You Light Up My Life" So many nights I sit by my window. Waiting for someone to sing me her song. So many dreams I kept deep inside me. Alone in the dark,but now. You've come along. You light up my life. You give me hope. To carry on. You light up my days and fill my nights with song. Rollin' at sea, adrift on the water. Could it be finally I'm turning for home? Finally, a chance to say hey, I love you, I miss you. Never again to be all alone. You light up my life. You give me hope. To carry on. You light up my days and fill my nights with song. You light up my life. You give me hope. To carry on. You light up my days and fill my nights with song. It can't be wrong. When it feelsa so right. 'Cause you. You light up my life. May Superwoman Claudette Mama Yamin's soul rest in peace! Here is Debbie Boone singing "You Light Up My Life" Live in the 1970's http://youtube.com/watch?v=gn4Kfvxczs0

A comforting thought:
The Transformed Beetle



The great director and producer, Cecil B. DeMille, was not only a man of great talent but also a man of keen insight. He shared this observation with his friends:

While canoeing on a Maine lake, he noticed a horde of water beetles just below the surface of the water. One of the water beetles came to the surface and slowly crawled up the side of the canoe. Finally, struggling to the top, the beetle grasped onto the wood and died.

DeMille forgot about the beetle until a few hours later when he noticed the beetle again. In the hot sun, its shell had become very dry and brittle. As DeMille watched, its shell split open and there emerged a new form, a dragonfly, which took to the air, its magnificent colors illuminated in the sunlight.

The dragonfly flew farther in an instant than the water beetle had crawled in days. Then it circled back and swooped down to the surface of the water. DeMille noticed its shadow on the water. The water beetles below might have seen it too. But now their erstwhile companion existed in a state far beyond their comprehension.

They were still living in their very small, limited world while their winged cousin had gained for himself all the freedom between earth and sky.

When he told friends about what he had seen, DeMille concluded with this penetrating question: "Would the great Creator of the universe do that for a water beetle and not for a human being?"

Since I posted Amanda's banner and had also saved Claudette's, here's her E-Train banner for posterity.

That's a wonderful post, Angell!
