To my sissy who married my cousin Tim Dean. I loved you with all my heart and we laughed a lot and had great phone calls. Last year when I came to sit on the beach with you I got to love you for you because you Sissy are so full of love. You were very special to me and close to my heart doing so much for your husband and your family. You fought a hard fight with a good attitude... there is a song by Alan Jackson called Sissy's Song and I have dedicated that song to you my sissy. I will always love you and know you smile down on us with the rest of our family with Jesus. I miss you. Jerry &Sallie Shoults Clark Hopewell, Ohio

To all who knew and loved my Aunt Sissy I can only hope you find comfort and peace within her memory, both good and bad, because in god's eyes she will always be and has always been your
Mother, wife, sister, daughter and aunt. In her last days I got to speak with her and felt the love, strenght and hope that she had for her family.
May god be with you all

a mother is someone who gives you life and is in your life and raises you and loves you unconditionally,thru good times and bad she overcomes and takes care of her children and supports them and protects them that is a defintion of a loving,caring,special mother. it takes someone special to be a mother to her children.

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.
