The Greatest Love We Ever Knew!

In recalling memories of a women who is dear to us all, I found myself laughing and crying at the same time, not from sadness but from knowing that all the memories I have of the most amazing, strong, and caring woman are all I will have anymore. I remember for many many years grandma was always close to her family and was a very important part of who we all are. I remember doing dishes beside my sisters for many years and having to eat things I did not like because grandpa said so and Grandma was the only one who showed any signs of sympathy (after the laughing of course) for her grandkids. Seeing her smile and hearing her laugh almost to tears will forever be replayed in my memories of her! Grandma,
You have left this place for a place where I know you are extremely happy and I know you did not leave us behind, you went ahead of us to your eternal happiness where there is no more pain, sorrow or tears. We will one day meet again and I know you will be there waiting for us to reach the Heavenly place you now call HOME! You are missed daily but you will NEVER be forgotten!
I LOVE YOU!
Forever,
Heather

The Greatest Love We Ever Knew!

In recalling memories of a woman through the years, my grandmother Ellen, I cant say there was ever a time when she was not where we were as a family. I remember many many years of doing dishes beside my sisters and having to eat things I did not like because grandpa said so, grandma was the only one who showed signes of sympathy (after the laughter of course) for all of her grandkids. Seeing her smile and hearing her laugh almost to the brink of tears will forever be replayed in my memories of her. Grandma, You will be missed dearly but you will never be forgotten as long as we all live and you have not left us behind, but have gone ahead of us to the place we will all call eternal home one day! I will plant a flower garden in your memory every year and I will cherish all the life lessons you taught me through the years!

I Love You Grandma!
Forever and Always,
Your Granddaughter

If I could write a story
It would be the grandest ever told
Of a loving wife, mother, grandmother
And great grandmother
Whose heart was made of gold.
I could write a million pages
But will still not be able to convey
How much I love and will miss you
Each and every day.
Jesus called you home to Heaven
I cherish our memories
And moments together
With the love you gave so freely
A love that will burn in me forever
I know you are at peace now
And I cannot promise not to cry
Even though I know, I will see you again
It is still difficult to say goodbye.

In Loving Memory of My Grandmother,
And Best Friend
