Ora D. Bishop

Bishop family, I worked with your mom back in the day at Akron General, she was the best!!! soft hearted and always kind at the time she was my moms age and I could have been her daughter, reading all the messages that you all have posted couldn´t make it any clearer " your mom was a true friend always there to lend an ear and her heart" . When she smiled her eyes lit up too I loved her and miss her too and think of her often. God bless all of you she´s one of the best angels

Mom, it's me again. I miss you just as much now as I did the first night you went home with the Lord. Ms. Pauline, came home early this morning and just let her know that I will be there for Cissy when ever she needs me, and I know you will take care of Ms. Pauline.
I love you mom and always will.

Well Mom it has been difficult at times. I miss you so very much. There are times I wish I could call you and just talk to you.
I wish we had more time on earth to be together. But I will see you in Heaven one day. I Love you so very much.

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.

Hey, Aunt "O". I miss you very much and find myself thinking of you often. Seeing you, was always a positive highlight in my upbringing. You were always warm and loving and although you were firm, I was never afraid of you. You made me feel loved. You did this not only with the words but always with actions. Don't get me wrong, I loved to hear you tell me you loved me, which was often, but I also loved when you gave me a big hug or kiss. I felt that I could talk to you freely and openly. You...

When I left this world without you
I know it made you blue.
Your tears they fell so freely,
I watched; I know this is true.
While you were weeping,
Days after I passed away-
While all was silent within me,
I saw you kneel to pray.
From this wonderful place called heaven
Where all my pain is gone,
I send a gentle breeze to whisper,
"My loved ones, please go on"
The peace that I have found here
Goes far beyond compare
No rains, no clouds, no...

Well it has been almost a year since you left us, and I miss you today just as much now as I did then. I can feel you walking around my house, I feel like I can see you looking at us while we are getting ready for work or school. I sometimes wake up in the morning and can catch a glimpse of you. It doesn't scare me because I know that you are my guardian angel. I love you very much and talk about you to others quite often.
I LOVE YOU MOM!!!

Before I was a Mom
I never tripped over toys or forgot words to a lullyaby. I didn't worry whether or not my plants were poisonous. I never thought about immunization.
Before I was a Mom - I had never been puked on, pooped on, chewed on or peed on. I had complete control of my mind and my thoughts. I slept all night.
Before I was a Mom
I never held down a screaming child so doctors could do tests, or give shots. I never looked into teary eyes and cried. I never got gloriously...
