Mom, you always told me that I would miss you when you were gone and I do. I miss you so much my heart aches. There have been so many times that I've picked up the phone to call you only to have it hit me that you aren't here and that ache just grows some more. I knew, just knew, that you would bounce back and would be home from the hospital in a couple of days. You, the "tough old bird," certainly could bounce back one more time. You always bounced back. But I failed to see how tired you were. And I'm sorry. I know you're at peace now and that is comforting to know. I'll always love and miss you.

Dear Mom, Just a few lines,I thought you would like to know. I'm doing fine now, but it's so hard not seeing you or having you to talk to. Remembering all the good times of you, your little sayings. Mom I just wanted to say this to you, you were always there for me and all of us. When I look up to Heaven at night,I know you are at peace now cause the stars are shining brighter down on us. You are there with Dad, Laurie and all the rest of the clan. So Mom, goodnight till we meet again. Love always, Carl

Grandma ma I can't believe that you are gone. I have such a hole in my heart. You were such a great lady, my grandmother, my mother, my friend. I pray that you truly know how much you did and meant to me and I hope I did the same for you. I can't seem to let the pain go hopefully in time it will subside some, for I find it hard to live without you. I wish I could have been there for you in your last hours, I would have loved to held your hand one last time. I will turly miss our Sunday calls, I will continue them and I know I will only hear my voice, but after all these years I believe I will feel your answers. I will keep you informed of all that is happening with my kids and myself. Earl, Steven, Gwendolyn, Melissa, and Samantha sends their love and express how much you will be missed. I will cherish my love and memories of you for as long as I shall live. I look forward to seeing you when it is my turn. Give Grandpa a big hug and kiss for me. And tell Laurie how much she was loved by all of us. With all my love Sharie

Grammie,
Words cannot explain how I feel during this time of my loss and our family's loss. Though, I should not be selfish and I know that you are doing much better now, than you were when you here, I still miss you. You were my rock Gram, the cornerstone of our family. I truly enjoyed our conversations over the phone and when I visited you. I will never forget your "Snits" and what a joy they were to watch. I enjoyed knowing what a geniune person you were. I know how you enjoyed just waking up every morning and being able to talk with the family, friends and especially your LOVED ones. My heart aches not being able to verbally speak with you anymore. I will miss our hugs and kisses. I miss you very much and will miss you for the rest of my life. I have a hole in my heart Gram, but please know I love you very much and always will. Say hi to Grandpa and Laurie for me and tell them I love and miss them.
Love You Always Grammie. Jamie

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I 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 He 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.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that 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 think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
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.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
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.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling 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 on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.
