To Jack, Gerry, Helen and Pam; We are so sorry for the loss of your Mom. She was special in so many ways but I will remember her most for her gentle nature and her understanding of human frailties. Nobody was more forgiving of the flaws that we all have than your Mother. To her everyone had some goodness and she had a special gift of finding it in everyone. My memories of the sleepovers with Pam, the cookouts in "the country", singing "Hey Jude" at the top of my lungs in her backyard while she laughed at the kitchen window - such great memories with all of you. I will miss her greatly and will keep her in my prayers. To know that she is with my Dad in Heaven makes me smile. He always loved her very much. We love you all and will be praying for you in the coming days.

Love Margaret, Stephen, Victoria and Crystal

Nannie,
Over the past few days I have heard some amazing stories about you. That you told the greatest stories anyone has ever heard, that you were the kindest, sweetest person anyone could have the luck to get to know, and how you never had anything bad to say about anyone. I feel truly blessed to have had you in my life as my grandmother, you truly are a saint in my eyes as well as everyone else who knew you. I know that you are safe now with our Heavenly Father along with all of our other loved ones who have passed before us. Please watch over me, as I will pray for you night and day. There won't be a day that goes by that I won't think of you. Thank you for the wonderful 22 years of memories you have left me with. I only hope I can live to be as kind, sweet, caring and loving as you were. May you rest in peace with the angels. Until we meet again.... I love you very much, God Bless.

Love,
Christine

Auntie Margaret - you will be missed by all in your family and extended family, as well as anyone you've met throughout your life. I don't know of anyone else with as much compassion as you had. I never heard you say a bad word about another human being. Your beautiful smile is what I will always remember.
Helen, Jack, Jerry, Pam...I'm so sorry for your loss. I hope your wonderful memories of your mother will give you some comfort in the days, weeks and months to come. Love, Debby (Reale) Oakley.
