I love you grandma. You left behind a loving family that will miss you very much. You are finally where you wanted to be. No one can ask for anything more than the love and memories you left behind.

Our heart felt condolences to the Bean family. She has gone safely home and is now looking proudly at the close knit family she has left behind. I know she remembers me because I was always the biggest nuisance that came over to visit. And, you know I never saw her get angry.

Dear Bob,Judy and family

I am so sorry for your loss of a wonderful lady. I will truly miss her. I would like to send this poem to you from heaven.

I give you this one thought to keep-I am with you still-- I do not sleep. I am a thousand winds that blow, I am the diamond glints on snow. I am the sunlight on ripened grain, I am the gentle autumn rain. When you awaken in morning's hush I am the swift, uplifting rush of quiet birds in circled flight I am the soft stars that shine at night. Do not think of me as gone--I am with you still--in each new dawn.

That poem always gives me comfort. I hope that it does the same for you. Just remember each day that passes the pain lessens and the memories start coming alive again. Much love, You are all in my thoughts and prayers.

Mom, Alzheimers is a terrible disease, and it took you away from us a little piece at a time over the last several years. It tore my heart out to watch you fade away. I know in my heart that you are in a better place, but I can't begin to tell you how much I love you and will miss you. At the end you couldn't even remember my name, so I'll remind you here once again, Your Loving Son, Bob

Dear Carla and Family,

I did not know your mom, but I do know one very special thing about her. I know I love you, her daughter.

As a parent, our future on this earth lies with those that are left behind for generations to come. You Carla, are such a gift to me, your generiousity to my children and to both Thom and I must surely have been taught by a very special person. So I guess in a way, because your are so important to me, your mom is too. We will all pray for you during this sad time. Please let us know if we can help in any way.

Emily, Thom, Nick and Elliott
