Stinemetz Christmas

Here are most of the video from the Stinemetz Christmas. I want to post it on here so Mom & Dad can see it since they couldn't make it :( And for the others that couldn't make it.
This December marked 20 years since my aunt Marlene passed away. I can't believe it's been that long. I was barely 9 when she passed away, but I have a lot of memories of her. I didn't share any that night because I couldn't talk. But I want to share some here.
What I remember the most about Marlene is her smile. She was beautiful and to me, always seemed happy. She definitely had a heart for the Lord and His kingdom. One time we went out to visit, we got to their house really late and couldn't get anyone to wake up and open the door for us! So we slept in the car!! I remember staying at Grandma Betty's while Mom & Dad went to Colorado when she was sick. Before her funeral started, all the family was in a room. I couldn't stop crying, so Mom let me go to the nursery. Logan wouldn't stop crying, so I had to go get Warene. I remember someone singing "People Need the Lord". How it can still hurt this many years later...

Why did she have to go
So young I just don't know why
Things happen half the time
Without reason without rhyme
Lovely, sweet young woman
Daughter, wife and mother
Makes no sense to me
I just have to believe

She flew up to Heaven on the wings of angels
By the stars and clouds and passed where no one sees
And she walks with Jesus and her loved ones waiting
And I know she's smiling saying
Don't worry 'bout me

Loved ones she left behind
Just trying to survive
And understand the why
Feeling so lost inside
Anger shot straight at God
Then asking for His love
Empty with disbelief
Just hoping that maybe

She flew up to Heaven on the wings of Angels
By the clouds and stars and passed where no one sees
And she walks with Jesus and her loved ones waiting
And I know she's smiling saying
Don't worry 'bout me

It's hard to say goodbye
Her picture in my mind
Will always be of times I'll cherish
And I won't cry 'cause

She flew up to Heaven on the wings of angels
By the clouds and stars and passed where no one sees
And she walks with Jesus and her loved ones waiting
And I know she's smiling saying
Don't worry 'bout me

Hey thanks for putting that on here, what a flood of memories come back. I have never been able to stop the tears when I see her. Am so glad that there are other memories besides those last ones in the hospital. Others besides remembering how many things I did not tell her, how much I missed and appreciated her talks and how much I loved her. But I will.. someday.. Dad
