Dear Mom:

It was an honor and a privilege to be your daughter for 42 years. Even though I wish it could have been longer, I cherish the time we did have together. You were the most vivacious, fun, loving, hard-working woman I have ever known (other than Grandma Hughes)! We are all better for having known you and being a part of your life.

You were not just my mother, you were my friend. You were a wonderful mother and grandmother, and I will always be thankful for...

My dearest sister Peggy, I have such wonderful memories of your laughter and your fun loving zest for life.

As you rest in peace in your home in paradise I will be sustained by my memories of you, and inspired by your courage. I will carry my sweet sister in my heart and keep you close always.

Love you always, your sister Lucille (and husband Butch)

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...

Love Lil Bro (Rick) George & Linda
