Grandma you always knew the right things to say. You loved regardless of circumstances and never expected anything in return. I have wonderful memeories of you that I will cherish forever. I can still remember long phone conversations that sometimes lasted for hours talking about whatever we could think of. You would tell me stories of when you were a little girl and the first time you met grandpa. The way you loved to laugh was infectious and made all those around you smile as well. I take comfort in the fact that you are in Heaven and no longer hurting in any way. Until I see you again~

Sending lots of wet kisses and all my love my sweet grandma, I still miss that smile,

I always said "You are my treasure, Grandma." Now my treasure is in heaven. I hope I can live a life of giving and not expecting, appreciating the small and simple things, and loving others just as they are...like she did. I will miss her dearly, but so glad she is finally home.

" Mary Lois "
A life of service, a life of pain.
Never again to smile on this earth.
A life of joy, a life of giving.
Never again to enjoy a life of living.
But yet she lives on in a greater place.
A place of joy, a place of no pain, a place to smile again,and again and again.
Even 81 years is very small, compared to eternity, after all.
What we give, what we accomplish, counts after all.
He sees even the tiniest sparrow fall.
Won't He notice us? A resounding YES!
His joy, His laughter, His loving through us is ever there.
Will we respond? Will we let it flow?
Only what counts is lives we touched.
Only those that we've loved so much.
He works through vessels given to Him,
to touch people he dearly loves.
Mary my vessel, My child, My love
Come on home to your house above.
Your work is thru, your toiling over.
Look now as your spirit enjoys reward
Ever with Me, your Savior and Lord.
