There is a sacredness in tears. They are not the mark of weakness, but of power. They speak more eloquently than 10,000 tongues. They are the messengers of overwhelming grief, of deep contrition, and of unspeakable love. ~ Washington Irving

I will miss the twinkle in her eyes and reminded of it in her siblings, children and grandchildren.

We will all surely miss the warmth of her laughter as it brought such joy and comfort to those she loved and who greatly loved her.

Mothers’ greatest treasures live deep within us and reverently carried forward in the hearts and souls of all who loved.

With Heartfelt Sympathy,
Peg Bell

Loss of Mother Poem

Now that I am gone,
remember me with smiles and laughter.
And if you need to cry,
cry with your brother or sister
who walks in grief beside you.
And when you need me,
put your arms around anyone
and give to them what you need to give to me.
There are so many who need so much.
I want to leave you something --
something much better than words or sounds.
Look for me in the people I've known
or helped in some special way.
Let me live in your heart
as well as in your mind.
You can love me most
by letting your love reach out to our loved ones,
by embracing them and living in their love.
Love does not die, people do.
So, when all that's left of me is love,
give me away as best you can.

Dear Cindi, Bern & Jerry,

Please know that our prayful thoughts are with you on the loss of Aunt Mary. Your Mom and Dad were like parents to us three girls. And when we moved to New Jersey they were a "True Blessing" to Larry, Ken, Keri and Myself. We will be in Columbus in late August for our class reunion, perhaps we can get together.
All our love -
Larry & Janice (Bell) Jones

Although my heart is heavy, I will remember the joy she brought to me. Her smile and laughter touched all that knew her here at Davita. I will miss her as well as her sister Ruthie. She was definately a bright flower in my eyes.
