MARION HESSMAN

Grandma, You were Heaven on Earth. You were always an angel & now you finally have your wings. I always think of you when I read this quote & try my best to live by these words as you always did..."People are often unreasonable, irrational, and self-centered. Forgive them anyway.

If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives. Be kind anyway.

If you are successful, you will win some unfaithful friends and some genuine enemies. Succeed anyway.

Grandma,

Life can be cold and difficult sometimes but people like you make it a brilliant, wonderful journey. Your warmth, kindness and love touched everyone with whom you came in contact. In your own gentle way, you made the world a better place and made all of your children and grandchildren better people.

Grandma,

When I said my final Goodbye to you at the Hebrew Home, I could tell by the look you gave me that it was your time to finally obtain peace with God.

You were there for every baseball game of mine growing up, witnessing many of my outstanding performances as a pitcher. You loved the fact...

My Dearest Aunt Marion, You were one of a kind and will never be forgotten. I have such wonderful memories of you--your beautiful smile, your powerful prayers, your kindness, your great sense of humor, your welcoming me into your home with "Hi Love, Come in, you look terrific!" I admired your hard work and tenacity in going back to college and graduate school as an adult. You could and would do anything you set your mind to, including building a porch and stairs off the kitchen using only...

Grandma,
You are beautiful inside and out. I'm thankful for all you did for our family. Thank you for teaching me to always do the right thing and to be kind. I miss you everyday, and I miss waking up to you at the house. I even miss you telling us to clean up after ourselves so Mommy could have a break. I know you are now at peace and looking down on us, encouraging us to be the best we can be, everyday. I will not let you down.
I love you!
