The Lord saw you getting tired And a cure was not to be, So He put his arms aroud you And whispered, "Come with me."
With tearful eyes, we watched you suffer And saw you fade away, Although we loved you dearly, We could not make you stay.
A golden heart stopped beating, A beautiful smile at rest, God broke our hearts to prove He only takes the best.
It will be lonesome here without you We will miss you so each day, Our lives will not be the same Because you went away.
When days are sad and lonely, And everything goes wrong, We will hear you whisper, "Cheer up and carry on."
Each time we see your picture, You will smile and say, "Don't cry, I'm in God's keeping, We'll meet again someday."
WE LOVE YOU MOM XOXOXOXOX

Mom No one has to tell me how lucky I was to have you for my mother, because I have known it for a long time. I will always remember all the special things you have done for me, and how much love you gave. You taught me so much about life and love and to give of myself. Those are lessons I will thank you for,forever. You were and always will be the strongest and most unique woman in my life. Know I will always carry you in my heart, my mind and my life. Rest now, you have been tired, and fought it for so long. I love you, my beautiful mother. ;

Ginny, Paul, Lisa and Casey, Sending you my deepest sympathies. When my grandmother passed away the most comforting feeling was knowing she was free of pain and suffering. Often times I would feel her presence with me as I know you will too. Please let me know if there is anything you need. Love Sherry

Nana, For many years you have brought together our large family. In good times or in bad you were always there when we needed you most. We never doubted your heart, courage, or loving nature nor did we ever think once that you would give up on us when we seemed like we where giving up on ourselfs. You raised 4 beautiful daughters and 2 handsome sons who all live prosperous successful lives all thanks to you and Papa. You will never be forgotten and will always live in our hearts forever not as just a loving grandmother but as a beautiful person who would help in anyway you could in a moments notice. We all love you beyond your wildest dreams and will carry on our great family traditions and love for each other that you started and kept together for so many years and have done an amazing job of. You will always be in my thoughts and preyers. I love you and god bless you. Your grandson, Christopher

Dear Lorraine: I did not have the opportunity to meet you, but I have had the pleasure of meeting two of your children, Ginny and Gary. If children are truly a reflection of the parents, then you were an exceptional parent. I know that Ginny loved you very much.
To Ginny and her family: Please find solace in the fact that your Mom is resting in the company of angels. I KNOW that you WILL see her again at the proper time. Love to you Ginny.

Growing up with you by our side, Your loving nature was our guide. Through the years you watched us grow, Teaching us everything we'd need to know. Love and kindness we learned from you, As well as to be faithful, good and true.
Your courage and strength was our inspiration, and there was never an end to your family dedication. You've been there for us to the end, Until the day for you, God did send. Now you watch us from up above, Shining down on us with your heavenly love. We know your place in heaven has a good view, Because you're telling God, I need to keep an eye on a few...
Now looking back, I think I have the key, The hidden secret to your longevity. It is your kindness, your spirit, your love Which is that great gift sent from above. It's a love without measure or degree, It's a love that will last for eternity.
And as we all say our goodbyes, Tears are falling from our eyes, And how our hearts hurts so For you not to be here to see our children grow. Nana, you will always be in our memories and hearts, And we thank you for being there for all of us from the start.
Nana was a tremendous woman who shared with each of us a special bond. She will always be there for us no matter where she is, For a part of her spirit will always live on in each of us.
We shall miss you Nana. Love, Kristy

Donƒ€™t grieve for me, for now Iƒ€™m free Iƒ€™m following the path God has laid you see. I took His hand when I heard him call I turned my back and left it all. I could not stay another day to laugh, to love, to work, to play. Tasks left undone must stay that way I found that peace at the close of day. If my parting has left a void then fill it with remembered joy. A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss Oh yes, these things I too will miss. Be not burdened with times of sorrow I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow. My lifeƒ€™s been full, I savored much Good friends, good times, a loved oneƒ€™s touch. Perhaps my time seemed all too brief Donƒ€™t lengthen it now with undue grief. Lift up your hearts and peace to thee God wanted me now; He set me free.
Nana Lorraine; A second Nana to love and cherish. You were my Nana from the age of two. I could not have picked another better. I will miss you and remember you often. You and your love will never be forgotten. Your memory will always be in my heart For that is where this bond had its start. Love always, Tianne
