Dear Grandma,

I'm very thankful for the time that we shared together just simply talking and mostly you listening to all of my stories about the kids. Even though we miss you here in the physical, I know that Heaven needed you just a little more to join the wonderful chorus. I find absolute peace in knowing that your quiet joy is now being shared with the angels.

Love Always

God is too wise to make a mistake. Treasure your mother's memories, continue to build on her strength. May God give you continued strengh, peace, and hope during this time of sorrow. Now, Look to the hills from whence cometh your help and remember it comes from God.

Cindy,
We are sorry for the loss of your grandmother, but she is now resting well with Our Lord forevermore. I will remember Mrs. Doyle because she was very personable (had a good sense of humor), supportive of you, and always present at her grandchildren's
activities or family functions. You and your family will continue to be in our prayers and thoughts. We are certainly here for you as needed.

She’s in a better place right now
Than she’s ever been before;
All pain is gone; she’s now at rest;
Nothing troubles her anymore.

It’s we who feel the burden of
Our sadness and our grief;.
We have to cry, to mourn our loss,
Before we get relief.

We know we’ll reconnect with her
At the end of each life’s road;
We’ll see her cherished face again
When we release our earthly load.

I'll miss you Sarah!
