In loving memory of Arianne Rene Reinsel

"Seasons Of Life"By Ruth ReinselWhen the song of winter becomes languid, soft and warm as a baby's breath,Spring emerges.From her roots life is regenerated. Time passes. Spring's lullaby gently recedes as the antiphon of summer arrives to bring this new life to full bloom.Time passes. Summer retreats for her song has been sung and life is now approaching a new season.Like a crescendo autumn makes her entrance creating a kaleidoscope of brilliant colors. Time passes, forcing autumn's gradual descent from her erstwhile glory. Her song becomes a lamentation and the refrain is soon extinguished by the chanting of winter's song. Eclipsed by death, life has entered its final season.Winter's song is a requiem. Her days are cold and solemn though not entirely barren for the evergreen stands unwavering in majestic splendor, symbolizing God's promise of life eternal.Because of that promise we believe that Arianne now lives in the realm of God's kingdom.
