The memories flood through me as I say good-by. Bicycles on the roof at Christmas, late night fishing on the pier... I am so lucky to have shared such precious moments in time. I miss you, but your sweet face and spirit will be with me always. I love you...
Debbie, Suzanne, and John,
I love you all very much.

I was so sorry to hear of your loss. It is so hard to loose a loved one. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you.

God looked around his garden
and found an empty place
He then looked down upon this earth
and saw your tired face
He put his arms around you
and lifted you to rest
God’s garden must be beautiful
He always takes the best
He knew that you were suffering
He knew you were in pain
He knew that you would never
get well on earth again
He saw that the road was getting rough
and the hills are hard to climb
So he closed your weary eyelids
and whispered, “Peace be thine”
It broke our hearts to lose you
But you didn’t go alone
For part of us went with you
The day God called you home

Miss you Mom....Suzanne
