Church bells ring,
Memories to remember.
Laughter and tears,
3 days from September.

An angel goes home,
To get fitted for her wings.
Leaving behind loved ones,
Family, friends, and things.

This is not a final goodbye,
Just be patient and wait.
She is watching over us,
We'll meet again at heaven's gate.

I wrote this July 28th 10:00am
I love you Mrs. Rhonda.

Hey Nanny,
Now you can breathe, now you can dance. If there is a pool up there just put your feet in. If there is beer up there put us a few on the side and save me a dance. If there are dogs up there give CoCo and Classy a hug for me. We will sing you up tommorrow. Let Mom and Dad hold you while we sing. I can't wait till I can see you again. I will take care of the boys and Wendy best I can till then. I love you. Miss you already.
