Mom,
How do you say goodbye to such a loving person, someone who has always been there for her family. Mom you taught me so much about the importance of family and keeping close and forgiving. I know you are now free from pain and sadness and you are with Grandma, whom you've missed for so long. You have taken up such a large part of my heart and I will miss you forever. I love you and will never forget the fun we had growing up togeather.
I will think of you often and smile and sometimes shed tears and will always remember how wonderful you are.
Your loving daughter,
Susie

Sue and Family

I was sorry to hear of your loss.
The right words always seem hard to find.

I met your mom a few times and really enjoyed talking to her.
Wish I had known her better.

May God comfort you all at this sad time.

TIME

Time is....
Too slow for those who Wait,
Too swift for those who Fear,
Too long for those who Grieve,
Too short for those who Rejoice
But for those who Love.....
Time is Eternity...

Love always,
Laura Burgess Frankhauser

Miss June Bug, God how I am missing your laughter and how we cried together just me and you threw all the pain and hurt.

Every morning before I left for work, we had our coffee together and then before I headed out the door, she would always say I Love you and Make lots of pennies. I would always give her a gentle kiss on her check and say I love you too.

Your in your mother's arms now, no hurt and no pain.

Always and Forever Marlene

I know grandma is in a much better place now. However, I will miss our long talks, her laugh and her openness to say it like it was. She was a very honest and open person and passed that trait right on down to the rest of us. I love you grandma.

Taking care of your Mom at Hospice was a delight. She could be challenging - especially when she hadn't had her morning coffee - but she was a delight with a sense of humor and a twinkle in her eye until the end. Thank you for sharing your Mom. It was a priviledge to take care of her.
