HOPE YOU ALL ARE DOING OK.
Oh Grandma of mine,Oh Grandma of mine,you were a beautiful lady, oh grandma of mine.You were blessed with six children,4 girls and 2 boys who will love you forever and will meet you in heaven some day.Your children produced 10 grandkids to love.You put us on pedestals high up above.You were always so full of hugs and kisses,even with us all together,there were never any misses. Throughout your life you were a special lady,you were always there when somebody had a baby.In your later years you were in so much pain,you knew if you stayed here there was something to gain. Our gain was the love and the joy that you shared,you gave of yourself till there was no more to spare.When you arrived at the hospital we were all so worried,we called every one home and they all really hurried. We thought we had lost you and didn’t know what to do,then on monday afternoon you looked all anew.The next couple of days you were in so much pain,none of us knew if you were going to remain.The next Sunday your body could take little more,you decided it was time to open a new door. You told us you loved us and you told us good-bye,you were ready to go,you’re the only who didn’t cry. AS we surrounded your bed and told you to go, we saw a sweet smile and we knew it was so. You met with the angel’s,they took you away,now we gather here on this very sad day,to remember our grandma who just passed away. Your pain is all gone and for that we are thankful,we know that your happy and for that we are grateful.Your body,s all healed and you have work to do,when it,s our time to go we know that we,ll see you. Oh Grandma of mine, Oh Grandma of mine you’re now a beautiful angel oh Grandma of mine.
MY DEAR SWEET ANGEL, ME,DAVID,BRODY,RITA,RONNIE,TRISH AND LITTLE ROBERT WENT TO YOUR GRAVE THE OTHER DAY.IT HAS BEEN 3 LONG YEARS SINCE YOU WENT AWAY AND IT HAS SEEMED LIKE FOREVER.I TALK TO YOU A LOT NOT JUST ON HERE BUT THIS IS MY OTHER WAY TO FEEL JUST A LITTLE CLOSE TO YOU..DAVID SAYS HE LOVES AND MISSES YOU TOO.WE ALL DO GRANNY THEIR IS NOBODY THAT COULD SAY A BAD THING ABOUT YOU…GOD TRULY MADE AN ANGEL WHEN HE MADE YOU……
I LOVE AND MISS YOU,
CRYSTAL

.Letter from Heaven. To my dearest family,some things i,d like to say.I’m writing you this from heaven.Here I can dwell with God above.Here there’s no more tears of sadness;Here is just eternal love.Please do not be unhappy just because I’m out of sight. Remember that I’m with you every morning noon and night.That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through.God picked me up and hugged me and said,’I welcome you.it,s good to have you back again.You were missed while you were gone.As for your dearest family,they’ll be here later on.There’s so much we we have to do,to help our mortal man.God gave me a list of things that he wished for me to do,and foremost on the list,was to watch and care for you.And when you lie in bed at night the day,s chores put to flight.God and I are closest to you,in the middle of the night.When you thimk of my life on earth,and all the loving year,s because you are only human,they are bound to bring you tears.But do not be afraid to cry,It does relieve the pain.Remember there would be no flowers,unless there was some rain.I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.If I were to tell you,you wouldn’t understand. But one thing is for certain,though my life on earth is o’re,I’m closer to you now,than I ever was before.There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;but together we can do it by taking one day at a time. who,s in sorrow and pain’and now I’am contented that my life was worth while,knowing as I passed along the way I made somebody smile.So if you meet somebody who is sad and frrling low;just lend a hand to pick him up,as on your way you go.when you’re walking down the street and you’ve got me own your mind;I’m walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.And when it,s time for you to go,with your body to be free,remember your not going,your coming here to me. peggy sharpe

GRANNY, I JUST WANTED TO SAY I LOVE AND MISS YOU VERY MUCH..
what a day ,,another one has came happy your day mom.. i told you i will all ways get in touch with you on mothers day.by phone in person or on the computer..but in my heart everday no matter what you are locked up in it..untill we are togather in heaven we are never far apart.i talk to you and god everday and that will not change untill my day comes it will not be longe.i see it getting closer everday.i just hope i get my work over with in time.i love you so very much but i don’t have to tell you you know.from me to you nothen but love..happy mother day.god did not make a better one.and you will always be mine..
Goodbye Mama—-I think of you so often your on my mind each day.It’s only been a short time since death took you away. I wonder how I’ll go on without you here with me.Yet I find comfort knowing you are whole and free.I catch myself throughout the day wanting to call you on the phone.When I remember you are gone.I feel so empty and alone. I ponder all the time we shared.For brief moments I’m with you.Then swiftly I come back to now and the pain comes crashing through.You really were quiet special,so strong and very brave.It never ceased to amaze me how much you truly gave.You held nothing back from anyone.You loved with heart and soul.You were there to always there to turn to and you made our family whole.You really were a worker from dawn to setting sun.You were a fine example of the woman in Proverbs 31.So often you shared kind words with a smile on your face. most times when I was with you I could sense God’s love and Grace.You taught us to turn to Jesus,our comfort and our hope.He will help us to go on and He’ll show us how to cope.We know that you’re in Heaven now and we’ll be seeing you again.But for now we say goodbye to our mama, Grandma,and friend.Ilove you mom.Rick
Our GRanny—-Although it may be hard to see,how happy she may finally be,away from pain,away from tears,from now on out just happy years.To all who knew her,both young and old,no sweeter womanwould have ever been told.She touched so many lives with her love and care,and her memory will live on in people everywhere.She spent her life loving the Lord. In His arms now she has pain no more.She taught us to be kind,always forgive,in Heaven now with Jesus her eternal life begins.For I know she loves and misses you too,she is waiting in Heaven to welcome all of you.—We love and miss you Granny–Cody,Sydney,Hunter.
Granny,
I am so sorry that I didn’t come to your funeral. I just couldn’t bring myself to it. you made me promise not to cry. that you was ready to go. I know you were. but you left so many people who love you behind. I will miss you. but somday, I will see you again. you are there in heaven watching us all
with your family that went on before you. I know that you are happy, and you are no longer in pain. and for that I thank God. you are finally getting the rest you so much deserved. and I can just see your smile and hear you laugh every time I think of you.
and that is what I will always remember. I tried really hard not to talk with you that day. I knew what you were going to say, and I wasn’t ready to hear it. but I am glad that we had that one last talk. I love you granny, and hunter loves you too. you were his grand mother too.
love kim
momma knew’
A child will never understand the love inside a mothers hand,untill the day when it’s too late and she has left for heavens gates. I know because I am sitting here with out the one that I lvoed so dear.
the years that I let slip away, are the ones I wish I had today.
when I was young it bothered me to have all that security, I never was allowed to roam far from my childhood home. At times I thought I knew it all, but she was there to catch my fall. and as her life came to an end I knew that she was my best friend. Inside my heart there is a place where mom and I can still embrace. I never showed her love so true, but somehow I think that momma knew.
we’ll love and miss you.

Mama I Will See You Again– She was Mama,She was my Mother. But she is not here this Mother,s Day no more. But I will go see her again,when God brings me to that wonderous shore.She will look even more beautiful,I can see the smile upon her face as she awaits,knowing that one day we’ll come to that beautiful place. I will tell you once more how much I love you mama,how I hated to see you go,But somehow deep inside my heart,I beleive you will already know you taught us about Jesus,told us to read his word well everyday,so when I see you again I will tell you that you were right all the way.I was beside you when you left, ‘Twas, after I had talked to you, as in a coma,I told you to go to the light. I couldn’t bear to see you suffer anymore. you had paid your due’s here on earth whwn you went to the altar long ago and was again of a new birth.I could almost see the angels carrying you home.So peaceful was your face, as though you were crowned in glory, covered in the purest and finest lace,you were always so genteel. From your mouth never a harsh word. But when you hugged and thanked me,it was the sweetest voice I had ever heard.I will say Happy Mother’s Day in that glad morning, whwn I see you there,tell you how much I’ve missed your sweet voice and how you would smooth my hair.It’s been a long time now mama,Sometimes from you I feel so far away.But I’m asking Jesus mama to tell you I said,Happy Mothers Day.
Dear Cousins:
So sorry to hear about your mom. Sympathy to all. She looks so much like my mom in the picture.
Love Linda
MOM’ That little short word holds so much meaning.It stands for love,caring,nurturing,friendship,a shoulder to cry on,a hand that brushes away a tear.Moms are angels sent down from God to us.They send a listing ear and always offer words of understanding.’MOM’when I think of that word the love in my heart spills over.You have shown me strength,courage and independance.I loved the secrets we shared,and the laughes we had.No greater friend could I have had than you ‘MOM’.You were always there for me and never forsaked me. Even when I made mistakes in my life,you still forgave me and stood by me.As I grew,I realized the sacrifices you made.And all the things you did to make my life good.All the precious moment,s when I was younger.The times you spent playing with your children,even though you were exhausted from a hard day’s work.I have grown into a good person ‘MOM’ and I owe it all to you.SO you see ‘MOM’I owe a part of who I’am to you.A big part.There is no person on earth who deserved more love and respect than you did ‘MOM’…….She’s the one you knew would listen and would always understand.She’s the one that stood beside me. The one who held my hand.She’s the one who always cared for me.She’s the one I loved with all my heart.The one I always will.It seems the more I see of life the more I’am aware,that a mom as wonderful as you were ‘MOM’ was really very rare.Mom lost her battle with cancer on April 28th 2005.She is now home,her pain and suffering over.She will live in my heart forever. I LOVE YOU MOM, RICK

Mama it,s been over a year since you passed away.Nothings been the same.I not only lossed my mother but also my best friend.I’m still in your house.I feel close to you there.I don’t know when or if I’ll be able to leave it.To me it is still our home.I still have all your wigs even if you didn’t need them, you looked great without them.I still have your teeth too.You would get a kick out of that.Mom please watch over us and help put us on the right path.Our rock is gone and now we are falling apart.I know you said don’t cry but it does releive the pain.Mom I know you told me to help the family and take care of Cody and Sydney,but Idon’t know if I can do all by myself. I ask God for help.You was always there to help me,now I feel so alone and helpless.Mom I tried so hard to make your last days as easy as I could.I hope you weren’t in pain. I know you didn’t want to go to the hospital. I’m glad you passed away at home with your family and friends that you loved.I know you are still here in my heart and mind.I know you came back as a feather when I told you to let me know if there was anyway to come and let me know. I can smell you in the middle of the night.The things with the pictures was cool. Love Always.Donna

Hey, My beautiful Angel. I want to say thank you Granny for raising me and taking care of me. I didnt realize till I got older how hard it must have been on you to take care of me growing up and you did it alone. Im so grateful for all you did and by instilling compassion and thoughtfulness in me when I think of others needs before my own i realize that its because of you and how you treated me. I know you cant see this it just makes me feel better to write it and think that somehow you know im thinking of you and missing you always. Its still hard to believe so many are gone. Mom, Dad, Dicky, John, Rita and now David. I know we will be reunited again in heaven and I hope your waiting for me at those pealry gates. I luv and miss you so very much Granny,,
