In 2007, I began my original website, Sonshine's Haven. In 2007, it was turned into a blog and used to keep family updated on my first husband's fight with liver cancer. He passed away November of 2009. We were married for 34+ wonderful years and this journals some of that grief process I've gone through.

I have since remarried another widower, but Mike is missed dearly, and will always be a big part of my life.

At times, all of us will be called to act as witnesses to the suffering of another. We will be unable to affect the outcome physically. Words will fail us. Prayer will seem futile. And yet, the act of bearing witness to someone else's trials is a sacred sorrow that offers and astounding glimpse of eternal joy." by Ginger Garrett

"Being willing to stay with a loved one throughout their travail, can be difficult....YES! But offering yourselves as faithful companions on a dark and dreadful journey can be an unmeasured blessing." (paraphrased by me)

Audio of Mike's Memorial Service


This is Meredith Anderson (wife of Amos, whom Beverly works with at Fellowship Bible Church). Beverly allowed me to post this audio recording of Mike's Memorial Service and I hope she won't mind that I'm adding a few comments. Mike's Memorial Service was the most uplifting and wonderful homegoing celebration I have ever attended. I felt so honored to witness it and have been inspired by the faith of Beverly and her family as they walk this road. I would encourage you to take the time to listen to the service (posted here). I know that you will be touched by it.


Please note: the audio file is in .mp3 format and will easily download to a mp3 player if you'd rather listen that way than via your computer.
