With Love Today............
We thought of you with love today,
But this is nothing new,
We thought of you yesterday and the days
before that too.
We think of you in silence and
often speak your name.
All we have now are memories,
and your picture in a frame.
It broke our hearts to lose you,
But you didn't go alone.
A part of us went with you
The day God took you home.
With Love,
Uncle Bill & Aunt Georgetta

In My Pocket
I have memories in my pocket.
They rattle among the change.
My memories of you are treasures I carry wherever I go.
They are stored in bits and pieces, parts of a beautiful whole
They give me comfort when I think I am alone.
Yes, I have memories in my pocket, like so much other stuff I keep there.
But of all the treasures I have, it’s the memories of you that are the most precious.

Dear Susan,
We. your Mother's friends in Oxford, enjoyed meeting you and spending time with you when you were here. You and your Mother are two very special women and we are all blessed to know you both. The faith that you share with one another and with all those with whom you come in contact is an inspiration. May God bless Jay, your family and friends.

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.

I would like to extend my sincere condolences to each of you.We share the pain of losing a dear loved one in death. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you right now. It is so very hard to lose a loved one, but the peace comes in knowing that this long battle has come to an end and she has taken her home in Heaven. She will be missed so very much by everyone who knew her. I am grateful for all the good times that we had...She will always hold a special place in my heart I will never forget her. I love you sissy.

To my sister Sue,
A splendid gift in this world for me,was you. Losing you is devastating and I will miss all the phone calls and e-mail's especially our last phone conversation on Saturday (oh, by the way I will bring the onion rings, LOL). My memory of what we shared during our life time will live on, remaining as precious keepsakes, no one can ever take that away.
Your courage to fight so long and hard from cancer I will always admire but it is your smile, laughter, humor and words of comfort for all of us during that time that is going to give me strenght. I also find comfort in knowing Jay was with you 25 years keeping you safe, today you are in heaven with your dad and Michael. Now everytime I drive my horse and carriage I know you and Michael are right beside me, forever in my heart!
Micheal, Susan, Rick, Karen
Brothers and Sisters are we,
Secrets we shall keep
here on earth
and for eternity
Love,
Sis
