Here I am once again, laying here wondering where to begin,
Thinking of you up in the sky, wondering why oh why did you have to die,
I miss you so much, a year goes by and it's still so tough,
I lay here thinking if you where still here, I wouldn't be laying here shedding these tears,
if only I could turn back time, talking and laughing just one last time,
If I knew it was going to be your last day, I would of spent it a different way,
But now it's to late, so I lay here awake, remembering the memories no one can take,
I love and miss you so so much, I wish there was a way we could still keep in touch,
I still here your laugh, I still see your smile, I just can't believe your gone I'm in such denial,
So as I come to terms that you are not here, I know that memories will get me thru the following years!
August 8, 2012
Aunt Jeannie,
I come to this site often trying to think of the perfect words to say! About how much I miss you every single day!
I write and write then erase it and write again, wishing life never had to end!
I think of all the great memories of you, and see the sad ones too,
Of how much pain you went thru, and that I couldn't help you,
I know your in a better place now, looking down from above,
But I still wish you where here so I can give you a hug!
We love and miss you!

God's Garden
God looked around his garden
and found an empty place
he then looked down upon this
Earth, and saw your tired face
He put his arms around you
and lifted you to rest
God's garden must be beautiful,
he always takes the best.
He knew that you were suffering,
He knew you were in pain,
He knew that you would never
get well on earth again.
He saw the road was getting rough
and the hills were hard to climb
so he closed your weary eyelids,
and whispered, "Peace be thine".
It broke our hearts to lose you
but you did not go alone,
for a part of us went with you
on the day God called you home.
In loving memory
Thelma Jean Colgan

Jeannie.....I don't know where to start. The name that is synonymous, least that's what I knew her by, as meaning someone with a smile,hug and a laugh every time we met, and ready to have fun !! There are too many lives that have been affected by your early departure to mention here but screw it, EVERYONE AND ANYONE YOU CAME IN CONTACT WITH !!!! Hope I get a chance to get where you are now. R.I.P. Jeannie

Jeannie I did not know you personally but I knew you through your sister Roberta who I know loved you very much and will miss you dearly. My thoughts and prayers go out to the entire family in this time of great sorrow. May your hearts soon be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate a life well lived. May the love of friends and family carry you through your grief. Take comfort in knowing that now you have a special guardian angel to watch over you all. May your memories bring peace to your hearts and comfort you in the days ahead. Roberta I am always here for you.
