Grammie, you will be missed. The blessing is you are in no pain, there are no hospitals, and you are in your dancing shoes. It is we who are left behind that are saddened. However, one day we will all meet in heaven, we will all see our believing friends and family, and we will once more celebrate our lives - together - forever.

I can’t begin to say how much I will miss you! You have always been there for me and I will NEVER forget all you have done for me & our kids. You were in so much pain all I wanted was you to be FREE of it.
Now you are and I thank you for NOT leaving behind a Cowboy for me to take care of. But I’m sure you will have so many to pick from now.
I’m so grateful to have had these years with you. Sometimes it was hard for us but Love always keeps us together.
I’m glad you got to see your Great Great Grandson! You waited so long and you were so happy for him to come into this world. He will always be told of your stories and we will show him all your pictures.
Watch over him as I know you will! Watch over all of us from that wonderful sky above. Send me signs from time to time so I will know all is fine with you.
Grammy I LOVE You so VERY much… Thanks for everything!
Now go get that COWBOY
Give everyone our love:
Love you

I enjoyed the time that I was able to spend with Rose over the last couple of months. She taught me a lot - and definitely had a great impact on my life. I know that she will be missed by a great many people. But I know that she is looking down on all of us and smiling.

As light from distant stars still shine brightly eons after they have been gone dark, so, too, will your light remain throughout the end of time. Thank you for blessing all of us while here.

The Dragon Fly.
In the bottom of an old pond lived some grubs. They could not understand why none of their group came back after crawling up the stems of the lilies to the top of the water.
They promised each other that the next one who was called to make the upward climb would return and tell what happened to her.
Soon, one of them felt an urgent impulse to seek the surface. She rested on top of a lily pad and went through a glorious transformation that made her a dragonfly with beautiful wings. In vain she tried to keep her promise - flying back and forth over the pond. She peered down at her loved ones below.
Then she realized, even if they could see her they would not recognize such a radiant creature as one of their number.
The fact that we cannot see our loved ones or communicate with them after the transformation, which we call death is no proof they cease to exist.
