Mom,
you are gone from this earth now flying with your birds you may not be here to call on in our times of need or just to talk but you will forever be with me as I walk along the path that has been chosen for me. I hope that all has been done to the way you wanted for i know we had talked before It was a blessing to be with you when god called you home and even a bigger blessing to have you as my Mom you will forever be love and missed and always in my heart. I love you mom may your gardens grow bigger that ever

Well mom I guess you finally got those wings that you so deserve. I know if there was one thing you could come back to this earth as it would be one of you beautiful birds. I know the day you left us, it poured down rain all day long. I know that was you mom. Watering your flowers and your birds. I will miss you so much until the day I can be with you again. I am so blessed and grateful for the wonderful time we shared. Especially in the past few months. I am also very grateful for the bond you shared with Jennifer, Brayden, and Keira in this past month. I know you told me that you were lonely a lot lately. Now you will be lonely no more, or sad, or worried, or in pain. You will never, ever leave my heart, and soul. I will think of you everyday as long as I am on this earth. I will also always think of your birds differently than I have every thought of a dang old bird. I will do my very best to become half the gardener that you are. You just keep doing what you love best and garden away. I LOVE YOU SO VERY MUCH. Love forever RENEE

We Love You Grandma and we miss you.

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, ""I welcome you.""

It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.

God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......""My day was not in vain.""
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.
