To my mom-n-law who is the most caring,strong woman I will ever know. But the time came when you was called home to become an angel to watch over us. So when I look up in the sky and see a cloud that looks like an angel I will smile cause I know it will be you.
MOM you will forever be loved and missed.

The other day I lost my mom to god. I felt that my heart was ripped from my chest. My mother was gone forever and I didn't know how I was going to deal with it. Then a soothing voice told me my mom wasn't gone and my heart is hurting because I have tucked her away in my heart where she will never suffer or need anything and where she will always be protected in my heart with god. The pain is just her making room in my heart for all of the precious memories we have that I will never forget. God only knows how many we have.If they were good or bad they were memories that money can't buy. They were memories that I shared with my MOM and GOD. My mom carried me as a child & I will carry her forever and I will never forget she is in my heart. For she is my MOM forever. Love always Guy

My condolences to the entire family on your loss. Tootsie was a wonderful woman who touched my heart at a young age and I will never forget her. She is walking with the angels and watching over each and everyone of you. My heart is with you all.

I wake up in the morning
And I look up to the sky
I wonder why he took you
before I said good-bye

I look up to the stars at night
And know you're looking down
I'd like to think you're proud of me
But I'm just stumbling round

I crawl in bed and close my eyes
And realize that you're gone
Then comes the fears and then the tears
And life just seems so wrong

I glance up at the heavens
And I know you're flying by
My Angels watching over me
I'm happy as I cry

Love You Mom....miss you more and more

In My Pocket

I have memories in my pocket.
They rattle among the change.

My memories of you are treasures I carry wherever I go.

They are stored in bits and pieces, parts of a beautiful whole
They give me comfort when I think I am alone.

Yes, I have memories in my pocket, like so much other stuff I keep there.

But of all the treasures I have, it’s the memories of you that are the most precious.

Aunt Tootsie, I will miss you and the times we shared. You where a strong, funny, a lovable woman. You truly loved ALL of your family no matter what life we all traveled down. I will always carry my name Yvonne proudly, from MY Aunt "Tootsie!"

Mom, You may have left us sooner than we all wanted but, you have left us all with the best memories any of us could ever ask for.
