I will miss her more than I can ever say.She was one of the greatest women i’ve ever known.I am so proud to get to say that she was my grandmother and I love her very much.
Whenever anyone who knew her thought of her, she wasn’t just mom, grandma, friend, or aunt. She was the most loving, caring woman I have ever known. She treated each of her children and grandchildren as if the were the only one that she could ever love. She never made anyone feel left out. I will miss her with all of my heart for the rest of my days on this earth. But I know that she will be watching us all from heaven and will meet us there when we go.
Linda, Danny & Family,
I wanted to share this poem with you all.Just know you are all in our prayers.
DO NOT STAND AT MY GRAVE AND WEEP.
I AM NOT THERE, I DO NOT SLEEP.
I AM A THOUSAND WINDS THAT BLOW.
I AM THE DIAMOND GLINTS ON THE SNOW.
I AM THE SUNLIGHT ON RIPENED GRAIN.
I AM THE GENTLE AUTUMN RAIN.
WHEN YOU AWAKEN IN THE MORNING’S HUSH,
I AM THE SWIFT, UPLIFTING RUSH
OF THE QUIET BIRDS IN CIRCLED FLIGHT.
I AM THE SOFT STARS THAT SHINE AT NIGHT.
DO NOT STAND AT MY GRAVE AND CRY,
I AM NOT THERE, I DID NOT DIE.
God bless you all,
Margaret & Bobby.
LOVE YOU ALL SO MUCH WISH I COULD BE AT THE FUNERALS TO DAY .
LOVE SAM & BETTY EDWARDS
Mom & Grandma… titles given to the one we love, something that many people relate to. Memories… they are priceless, things that only we are able to hold and cherish. No one on this earth will ever understand the memories we have of our wonderful Mother, Grandmother, Great Grandmother, and Great Great Grandmother except us, her family. Our memories will forever be with us while we are here on earth and even when we finally get to see the woman we all love and miss… the memories won’t fade, ever, they will be the most vivid entries in our mind from here on out and I know we will all cherish them. I know that until we meet her on the other side, she is still with us, maybe we can’t see her, but I know that we will all feel her presence daily. We all have to remind ourselves that we will see her again, sooner than we think. I Love You all and I miss Grandma dearly. I hold my head high with all of you and cherish all of our memories.
Our Grandmother was so much more than Grandma,She was a friend.and so much more.She will be forever missed,But i know as well as we all do that she will be right there holding our hands thru hard times and good times. Yes we will miss her so much but she is still her for us all we have to do is remeber what she would have us to do.Just think of the kind smile and the love that she held for each one of us we were all very lucky to have had such a beatiful angel to call Mom,or Grandma.
Love and will miss you always.. LaNita Hartley
