I first met Mrs. Zebrasky at morning Mass at St. Gerard's in 2001. I was very encouraged by her strong faith and her commitment to attend morning Mass. In recent times, she sat in front of us at Sunday Mass at 9:00 a.m. at St. Andrews. I will miss her smiling face and beautiful blue eyes. My condolences to the family.

Grandmother, whom I adored ever so much
No longer here on earth, but in the heavens above

Oh how I'll miss your smile and your laughter so big and full of life.
Now you sore in the sky you're an angel so high
You are now with our maker; tell me what is he like?

Are your day's filled with song and praise,
do you sway to the music that angel harps play?

Grandmother, whom I adored ever so much
How you will be missed, but never forgotten

I shall remember your scent, your voice and your every feature.
After all you were one of my teachers
You've taught me so much and so many life lessons

Grandmother, whom I adored ever so much
Rest now; ever so peaceful in the heavens above.

Maw~ We love & miss you so very much. I know you are in a better place and you will be watching over us. Please tell Pap-Pap, Dave, & Pop that I love them & miss them. And that I hope that they like how I have turn out. Make sure you give Pepper & Belle a kiss & hug from me. And watch over them until it's my time to be in heaven with you all. <3 <3 xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxox

What Can You Say

What can you say
to someone who has always been one of the most essential parts of your world;
Someone who took you by the hand when you were little
and helped to show the way.
What do you say to someone
who stood by to help you grow, providing love, strength, and support so you could become the person
you are today?
What can you say to let her know
that she’s the best there is,
and that you hope you’ve inherited some of her wisdom and her strength?
What words would you say
if you ever got the chance?
Maybe you’d just say,
I love you Mom,
and hope she understands…
