So sorry Jimmy on the loss of your Mother-in-law. She sure seems to have been an incredible woman and my profession of nursing has sadly lost another sister. May God bless you and your wife and family, you are all in my thoughts and prayers.

To remember my Mom-in-love, brings back so many memories, from Our Wedding in Las Vegas , to the birth of my children, We had many talks, and you were my teacher, you tought me how to cook, and (bless your heart ) tried to teach me to crochet. Most of all we loved our family. I am sure you are in heaven in glory with God. He has given you peace, freedom from this body,

My mother was very talented in the craft area. Sewing, tailoring, hooking rugs, needleworks as well as leather works. She also knitted and crocheted. I still use the wallet she made me and a notebook holder. 20 years old and still in great shape. Watching her lose her memories were hard but now she's free and restored. In heaven with my father, my grandparents, Uncle Don and Norman, Aunt Thelma. You willalways be in my heart Mom!

I only met Doris one or two times in my life, but I remember her as a warm, loving mother and grandmother. To her children and grandchildren, I offer my most heartfelt condolences and prayers.
John 14:1-4: Do not let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God; trust also in me. In my Father's house are many rooms; if it were not so, I would have told you. I am going there to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am. You know the way to the place where I am going.

"Do not stand at my grave and weep,
I am not there, I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow.
I am the diamond glints on snow.
I am sun on ripened grain.
I am the gentle Autumn's rain.
When you wake in the morning's hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry.
I am not there, I did not die"
She walks now in bright company.
bye, Mom.

I remember the times when Doris, the girls and I would go for a ride to the ice cream store where we could enjoy the cold desert. Doris got 'sugar free' of course. We would chat while the girls were doing silly lil girls stuff. She will be missed. I thought I would share this happy memory with you. Peace Doris.

Death is nothing at all.
I have only slipped away to the next room.
I am I and you are you.
Whatever we were to each other,
That, we still are.
Call me by my old familiar name.
Speak to me in the easy way
which you always used.
Put no difference into your tone.
Wear no forced air of solemnity or sorrow.
Laugh as we always laughed
at the little jokes we enjoyed together.
Play, smile, think of me. Pray for me.
Let my name be ever the household word
that it always was.
Let it be spoken without effect.
Without the trace of a shadow on it.
Life means all that it ever meant.
It is the same that it ever was.
There is absolute unbroken continuity.
Why should I be out of mind
because I am out of sight?
I am but waiting for you.
For an interval.
Somewhere. Very near.
Just around the corner.
All is well.
