WEBMASTER'S NOTE:  Because this web page is new, we are only posting those current members who have left us.  It would be difficult to gather all information beyond the past few months.  We mean this as no disrespect to those familes who have lost loved ones in past years. 

The HMC Club & the CA HMC CHAPTER
 is wounded when we lose our dear ones, 
but we will enjoy the memories


A Message from Heaven

When tomorrow starts without me, 
And I'm not there to see; 
If the sun should rise and find your eyes 
All filled with tears for me; 
I wish so much you wouldn't cry 
The way you did today, 
While thinking of the many things, 
We didn't get to say. 

I know how much you love me, 
As much as I love you, 
And each time that you think of me, 
I know you'll miss me too; 
But when tomorrow starts without me, 
Please try to understand, 
That an angel came and 
called my name, 
And took me by the hand, 
And said my place was ready, 
In heaven far above, 
And that I'd have to leave behind 
All those I dearly love. 

But as I turned to walk away, 
A tear fell from my eye, 
For all my life, I'd always thought, 
I didn't want to die. 
I had so much to live for, 
So much yet to do, 
It seemed almost impossible, 
That I was leaving you. 

I thought of all the yesterdays, 
The good ones and the bad, 
I thought of all the love we shared, 
And all the fun we had.
