To the Anderson and Wiese families;
We're sorry about the loss of your Mom and Grandma. She was a strong and determined lady who did everything within her power that she could to be with you all for as long as possible. We know that parts of her have influenced you into becoming the person that you are today. You will carry that with you forever along with her love and memories. Take care of each other.

I'm sorry that I cannot be at Corinne's memorial service today.

I had the pleasure of working with Corinne for four years when Dawn Rockey was State Treasurer. Corinne was truly an important part of the Treasury Management staff; a steady, reliable member of that team. Corinne not only knew the answers to the routine, easy questions, but she also had the answer to many of the tough questions every public office encounters on occasion; those problems that pop up so rarely that everyone says: "How do we handle this one?" But, Corinne usually knew! She would dig back into her files or her memory and we'd have our solution!

Corinne was personable and helpful, treating both her colleagues and the public with the respect they deserved.

Finally, as I'm sure you know, she loved her family. We were all treated to stories of what you were doing and how proud she was of all of you.

Though it's been several years since I last saw Corinne, please know that she is a colleague I won't forget. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

To Crin's Family,
I worked with your mother for 6 years at the State Treasurer's Office and she was always such a delight. I loved all her stories done with the southern accent. She will be missed.

Chris and Cole,
Please know that you have been in our thoughts and prayers this week. A previous entry stated even though they didn't know your mother, she must have truly been wonderful because she raised such a caring, wonderful son and we couldn't agree more. We are proud to call you our friends, just like family and love you both very much.

Cole, my deepest sympathy for you and your family. I guess God decided it was time for him to enjoy your mothers presence as you all have. She maybe gone physically but the memories will be there forever.

To Crin's family...
I was shocked and saddened when I read Crin's name in the obituaries. I am so glad that I called her after the holidays and we visited for a while.

I got to know Crin by riding the East Vine Bus. I remember her laughter and participating in our bus parties. She kept us laughing... funny lady...

I want you to know that you are in my thoughts and prayers.

Mary and Amy,
I want to wish you most sincere condolences from our family. Although I didn't know your mother, I know she must have been a wonderful woman to have raised such caring daughters. Our prayers and thoughts will be with your family. Sincerely, Cathy Martinez

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.

Cole and family,

We want to express our deepest sympathy, but there are no words. Losing a parent leaves a big hole in a family, but take comfort in each other and know that she is free from pain, healthy, happy, and waiting on the other side.
