Mom, It´s been a long time. But as I sit here and reflect on the life that you and Dad offered me, I´m beyond honored to be your daughter.
I love and miss you more than life itself. Frankly can´t wait til we meet again.
I´m so glad John has you and Dad to look after him. Hopefully he´s doing well. I always look for signs to know you all are with me. Thank you for those.
Until we meet again Momma,
I love you
Vickie

I miss you, Grandma. I hope you´re up there giving heaven some hell! I think of you and Grandpa often and miss you both dearly. In life, you had so much influence over me and not so surprisingly you continue to do so. The amount of respect I have for you is unwavering and I just want to say thank you because everything you taught me during your life I hold dear to my heart. I love you always.

Grandma,
It's been 11 years since you went home. Nothing is the same without you and Papa and I think of you both quite often. My brother is with you now and I pray you all watch over our family. I love you all so much. I will do my best to keep all of your memories alive. Until we meet again, I'll live my best life to honor your memory, Grandma. I love you.

Dear Parish Family,
Not very often do I allow myself to get emotionally involved with my patients and families, but with Shirley and you all, it wasn't hard. She was a joy to care for and I loved her stubborness, yet her willingness to get better all in one. I am so sorry she passed, but we all know she is in a better place than we all are. I hope she at least got to eat my soup...Your family will be remembered by me forever. Take care of yourselves and god bless

I know that I have already signed this guest book but I believe it is appropriate to sign one last time. Today, January 14, 2009, is my Grandfather Charnie's Birthday and the day my Grandmother Shirley will be laid to rest. I Know I can speak for all when I say, who could have asked for a better birthday present? To my family, I LOVE YOU ALL and her passing hurts more than anything else we have ever felt in our lives before. The pain will ease over time and we will soon understand why our Heavenly Father and our Dearly Loved Father and Grandfather came to take her home. The love between Charnie and Shirley has always been in their hearts. So when our Lord asked your Father and our Grandfather what he wanted for his Birthday this year, the Lord said "Son you have waited Long Enough and her Mansion is now complete, with my Blessing You May Bring Your Wife Home now." I know it had to sound something like that. On this day, We will remember not a day of Sorrow, but a Day Of The Deepest Love Our Father can allow two people to share. I know our Hearts cry, Dear Family, however; God's Will still has Journeys for us to finish before Our Lord allows Charnie and Shirley to return again and take each one of us Home. This pain that we feel in Our Hearts is Our Lord's reminder to Us that he hasn't forgotten about us. We May Take This Pain to plant in Our Hearts to soon grow and transform into an Understanding of God's Will. So Uncle, Aunts, Mother, Cousins, Brother you Do Not Cry Because she is Gone. She is not. Cry for the Joy of knowing that she and Charnie Will Never Leave You. Our Family must Stay Strong for them or they will Cry in Heaven for Us, and the Rain will Never Go Away. I Love You All and only God can Give You the Peace You Desire. Pray to Him.

They say you never know what you have until it's gone, Now I know what they mean. Grandma I love you so much more than you'll ever know.I prayed for you really hard and I guess God answered my prayers.You are with grandpa now and better yet, the angels that you loved and collected for so long. I MISS YOU SO MUCH. Especially your good cooking and all the talks we had. I remember the last thing you said to me was to be the best mom I can be and to stay clean. I Promised I will. Tell grandpa I LOVE HIM AND HAPPY BIRTHDAY HUGS AND KISSES, GONE BUT NEVER FORGOTTEN . TOGETHER 4EVER, LOVE ALWAYS,PROUD TO BE YOUR GRANDDAUGHTER.

my grandmother was an amazing woman. she helped me out so much and i will always greatfully appreciate everything she has ever done for me. i looked at my grandma as a best friend. she would feed me, shelter me, and care for me. she always would put others before herself. i certainly will miss being able to spend the night and stay up eating popcorn and playing a good old game of cards. i could always call grandma and talk to her about my problems, and i know through bad and good she would always be on my side. im glad that grandma is in a better place now and that she is happy and no longer feeling any pain. grandma you are a great person and I LOVE YOU! i will miss you so much and i will NEVER forget you. say hi to everyone for me. i love you g-ma!
love: your youngest grandson ?

Grandma,
I will never forget you. When I found out what happen I broke down. I couldn't believe that it could happen to somebody like that. I will never forget about you telling me all the stories of me when i was a baby and how I dug-out your back yard for my wrestlers. I remember you always giving me your gallon of milk because you couldn't finish it and you wanted it to get drank. I am always going to remember your smile and the laugh you had. I love everything about you, you were the greatest. I am so glad you are in a better place, it has to be better than here on Earth. I know you will get treated great. We are all going to miss you. I'm going to miss being able to call you and talk to you about my problems when I need help and I can't talk to my own mom about it. I don't know who I am going to go to now. I love you so much Grandma I can't wait to see you again, it will be a few years from now but i know i will be able to reconize you as soon as I see you, give Grandpa, Grandma and Grandpa Lottes, Dad, and my sister a hug and kiss for me and tell them I love them. Thank you for everything grandma. I will never forget you, or any of the times we had together.
I love you

Grandma was my rock. She always put others before herself especially when it came to eating. Grandma would always ask, "Did you get enough to eat?" I would always laugh and tell her yes thinking did you see the two plates of food I just ate? She was an amazing woman and a very strong individual. I remember each time I would get sick she was always there to take care of me. The only way I ever knew how to repay that was to love her more and more and help take care of her when she was sick. We had this habit of biting our nails, though, hers was a bit worse than mine. I understand why she did it so much. Her heart wanted to do so much for others and she was always worrying about her children and grandchildren and great grandchildren. She was also one for pulling her "fangs" out when she was mad. I would tell her now you be good and try not to bite anyone with them fangs of yours! She was a feisty one and spoke her mind even if it hurt. I respected her for that. I miss her so much and I'm glad that my Papa and Jesus came to hold her by the hand and walk her home. Grandma if you see this somehow in heaven, I LOVE YOU VERY MUCH AND I WILL SEE YOU AGAIN SOME DAY! YOU JUST BE GOOD UP THERE OK?
