I know many people come on here with a short description of their loved ones describing their life journey to the world. This however for me, will be a long one. I lost my favorite uncle , my uncle lewis last month and it took a lot out of me for some ime. One of the hardest things i had o cope with ever in my 26 years on this planet. A short description of his wonderful man wouldn't do him justic so I'm going to apologize for the length of his in advance.
My Uncle, Lewis N. Poe was born the same day as me, January 20,1951 to Lewis Moore and Annie Poe. We often called him "Smiley" because he smiled so much.(LOL) He attended school in Starkville, Mississippi and graduated from Henderson High School in 1969. I recall my father telling me stories of how my uncle used to help take care of him when he was younger. Lewis had gifted hands..you could bring a car to him that was not working and he would have it up and running in no time.
He worked for Weavexx for over 30 years and was married to Lue Gene Poe for 39 years. They have 5 lovely children.
I was told that my uncle Lewis began starting to sleep more than usual in December 2008 which was not like him. He was often found sleeping standing up, or working on a car and falling asleep while doing so. Strangely at the same time(and I had no idea of any of this until after his death) I too was feeling extremely sleepy and had a hard time staying awake. I fell asleep at work which I have never done in the 5 years I have worked at my job. And i was not stresed and I also had plenty of sleep..
Later he had shortness of breath the following weeks, yet never went to the doctor. Some people said he knew he was sick but did not want to tell anyone about it.
On January 21st, which would be the final time he spoke to me he told me how much he loved me and how proud he was of me going back to college because I had dropped out to take care of my sickly son who was born prematurely. We laughed and joked as usual. I recall teling him happy belated birthday and he did the same for me. My 2 kids talked to him and he asked my daugther what she was doing. She told him she was eating cheetoes (flameing hot is her favorite). He said he wanted some and she said, "Ill have my mommy buy you some and we will put it in the mailbox"...(LOL) He asked me was I upset with him about something because previously in July at our family outting I didnt speak as much to him as I usually did. I did not think I was acting strangely that day but he told me that he thought I was. I told him I would never be mad at him and had no reason to be..I guess I was just having one of those days. Then he told me he was getting in shape this year and that he promises to keep in better contact with me calling more..he also told me he was going to send me something nice for my birthday. I am 26 now and I told him it didnt matter what he sent I would appreciate it greatly. The last thing I told him before he hung up was that I loved him.
On January 26th my uncle called his aunt and told her he loved her. He also spoke with my grandmother(his mom) and she said "Baby, you sound like you are short on breath why don't you lay down". Prior to him going to sleep, his daughter in law noticed a rattle from his chest. She also kept hearing the sound of horns that nobody else could hear. She kept asking those in the house do you hear those horns playing and eveyone said no. At 9pm he went to bed. He was pronounced dead early the following morning on the 27th. He died in his sleep. The coroner said he died before midnight, yet my cousin claims she heard him snoring at 2am. So they(my family) believe he died between 4am and 6am. His alarm clock went off at 4am as usual and he did not jump up to turn it off like usual. My aunt shook him and he was stiff as a board, yet under his neck and his stomach was still very warm. No autopsy was performed, but the coroner said it appeared he died of a massive heart attack or stroke due to the fact that his fist were tightly balled up. Even the funeral director could not unball them. I found out the news at 5:45am in the morning when my aunt called and told me. It was like a world of devastation for me. i couldn't eat, sleep, or breathe and I started to have chest pains shortly afterwards. Weirdly that night I could not sleep(prior to my aunt calling). I kept on tossing and turning so when I received the news I was already wide awake. I was weeping, screaming, and crying. I looked up at my ceiling and asked he lord why, why did you do this to us? It was a that moment I felt a cool breeze behind me. It felt like a fan blowing out very cold air on my lower back. Startled I turned around only to see nothing. A few hours later I closed my eyes and I had a vision. I am known for having visions of deceased relatives more on that later though.
I had a vision (not a dream)I saw my uncle in my bedroom a few feet from my bed staring at me with a long tear comming down his face. He looked so sad and pitiful. It startled me and I opened my eyes only to see nobody standing there. Now I know why my cousin heard the sound of the trumpets. Angels were blowing them for him because they knew it was his time. After seeing my uncle with the tear in his eyes, I honestly feel like that was him telling me goodbye and it was hard for him to do so. He was not ready to leave this earth but it was his time to go.
I miss my Uncle very much and he meant so much to me. I can not wait till the day where I can see his smiling face again in Heaven.
New Day is coming.
An angel would sing
in the morning
as birds
watch
by.
Two feathers fall
from her graceful wings,
messages from the departed.
Various melodies
are calling
out
the angel’s name.
Various paths
back to her heart
love’s refrain.
And in that morning mist
when all around
seems filled with danger,
future dreams are lurking
waiting
for the moment
when paths
shall cross.
Their Light shall form
New Day.
New Day is Coming. Thanyou to all my friends & your Angels whose looked after our Angels while ive had the flu i still arent hundred percent so you will just see me on site for a couple of hours while i get fully recovered love always gail & carla.xxx
lots of love always gail & carla.xxx

Because I see all of these

A GUARDIAN ANGEL
Flew down from above,
To teach me a lesson
About the powers of love.
She whispers to me,
Take a hold of my hand,
There are so many things
I wish you to understand.
About the powers of love,
And all it can do,
To someone who needs
To share it with you.
A pat on the back,
A kind smile on your face,
Can make someone's life,
A much brighter place.
It doesn't take much,
To show someone you care,
To give them the love,
God gave you to share.
So please keep in mind,
All the powers you possess,
To grace someone's life,
When they're in distress.
You've been put on this earth
To bestow the powers of love,
And with those final words,
She disappeared up above.
love always gail & carla.xxx have a great weekend.

I'M STILL HERE
Friend, please don't mourn for me
I'm still here, though you don't see.
I'm right by your side each night and day
and within your heart I long to stay.
My body is gone but I'm always near.
I'm everything you feel, see or hear.
My spirit is free, but I'll never depart
as long as you keep me alive in your heart.
I'll never wander out of your sight-
I'm the brightest star on a summer night.
I'll never be beyond your reach-
I'm the warm moist sand when you're at the beach.
I'm the colorful leaves when fall comes around
and the pure white snow that blankets the ground.
I'm the beautiful flowers of which you're so fond,
The clear cool water in a quiet pond.
I'm the first bright blossom you'll see in the spring,
The first warm raindrop that April will bring.
I'm the first ray of light when the sun starts to shine,
and you'll see that the face in the moon is mine.
When you start thinking there's no one to love you,
you can talk to me through the Lord above you.
I'll whisper my answer through the leaves on the trees,
and you'll feel my presence in the soft summer breeze.
I'm the hot salty tears that flow when you weep
and the beautiful dreams that come while you sleep.
I'm the smile you see on a baby's face.
Just look for me, friend, I'm everyplace!
