Perhaps they are not
stars in the sky,
but rather openings
where our loved ones
shine down
to let us know they
are happy.
**Always loved and never forgotten**
Goodbye Grandma, I love you

Our thoughts and prayers are with you Milt and Dee. You are such a good and caring son, Milt, and you were always there for your mom. She is in a better place now, but I know from experience, that the hurt never truly goes away. Thank God that you have your wonderful Dee to console you. A better mate cannot be found anywhere.

Warm summer sun,
Shine kindly here,
Warm southern wind,
Blow softly here.
Green sod above,
Lie light, lie light.
Good night, dear heart,
Good night, good night.
