Nancy & Cindy,
My deepest sympathies, I cannot tell you how saddened I was to hear that your Mom passed. I have such fond memories of spending entire summers at your house; she welcomed me as one of her own and will always be remembered lovingly by me and my entire family.

my dearest sister: Eva ( sissy) Hughes.

They say memories are golden
Well maybe that's true
But we never wanted memories
We only wanted you.

In life we loved you dearly
In death we love you still
In our hearts you hold a special place
No one could ever fill.

Our family chain is broken
And nothing seems the same
But as God calls us one by one
The chain will link again.

I LOVE YOU ALWAY'S "SISSY"

My favorite dinner companions...

Dear Girls ,
I am so sorry for the loss of your Mom ,she was truly a wonderful woman ...
I did not get to see her much in the past few years because I know she has been very ill,but now she is with Don and Donna and you know she is happy to see them again ,
She had missed them so much over the years.
You all should be proud of yourselves for the care you gave her and always being there for her.
She is now and in heaven with all of those she loved and missed .
Love to you all and God Bless.

There will come a day
when your tears of sorrow
will softly flow into tears of remembrance...
and your heart will begin to heal itself...
and grieving will be interrupted by episodes of joy...
and you will hear the whisper of hope.
There will come a day
when you will welcome the tears of remembrance...
as a sunshower of the soul...
a turning of the tide...
a promise of peace.
There will come a day when you will...
risk loving...
go on believing...
and treasure the tears of remembering.
