Time moves on after the passing of a love one but the memories of their life is what should keep you going. Athalyn lived a great life and touched many people especially her children. Always remember the good days and also the days when you can say if it had not been for the lord on our side where would we be. There is a piece of her that will live on in all of us. Love you all.

Hi Mom
I miss you so much. However, I realize that you are at peace now. That's more important than me wishing that you were still here in the present. God makes no mistakes. You are an Angel smiling down on us and I'm satisfied knowing this. God picked a wonderful Woman to have Eternal life when he picked you. So rest my dear Mother and I hope to see you again someday.
I love you

Momma,
You're my hero! We're saying 'good-bye' to you today and we take comfort in the fact that you have been welcomed into Heaven as the newest Angel. You live on in Adrienne, Terri, Julie, and me...your children. I know that you are proud of me, as you said so many, many times. I will continue to live my life in a way that would bring that wonderful smile to your face that I always loved so much. I love you. I will forever miss you. And, I am so grateful that you were my Mom.

Julie, I cannot say that I believe time heals all wounds but I do believe that your mother lives on through you. Your love for her and the strength you have shown during this time of sorrow is a reflection of what a wonderful woman she must have been. I know she is proud of you and please remember she is always here. Love, Michele

To the family of Mrs. Athalyn Cook-Young, it is indeed a sad day when we loose someone that we want to have with us forever. God has called another one of his children home for eternity. We know not the day nor the hour that I father will say well done thy good and faithful servent. To the family continue to look towards the heal which will come all of your faith and help and take comfort in knowing that good is still in charge. It's been a long time since I have seen your mother Adreinne, Terri and Julian but we will all meet again when we get to that great big home in the sky. I remember those days in Midlothian Village and your mom was a sweet mom. Your mom and my mom were hard working women back then but they found the time to love and that's what's important.

Thomas & Family,
I know your grandmother is in a better place. Sure you will miss her physically, but just think about all the great memories you shared with her. Because of her inspiration to you, I could not ask for a better son/son-in-law. I extend my condolances to you and your family during this difficult time. Just keep smiling knowing your grandmother is looking down on you and your family. She is very proud of you and the wonderful young man you have become. You know Dad & I are here for you.
Love, Mom

Gran Gran,
Although words can never express the depth of my feelings for you, I wanted to take the time to let you know that I love you and miss you dearly. Thank you for all of the life lessons you taught me. You inspire me to be better. I will always remember singing " The Greatest Love of All" to you, and seeing your beautiful smile. I wish that I could be selfish and ask God to bring you back, but I know that you suffer no more. I know that you are walking in streets of Gold with the King. With Eternal Love,

Gran-Gran,
My dearest love oh how I mourn the loss of you, yet I celebrate the many memories I have of you. You taught me how to love my friends, family, but most importantly my enemies. There is no one in life who has touched me the way you have, for you gave me the best mother that only a woman as strong as you could birth. Gran-Gran I miss and love you dearly, and I will never forget you. Enjoy your life up there for you are eternal now....
