Your smile that can't be replaced
Memories and pictures is all we have left
To the gateways of heaven you have stepped
You lived a long and beautiful life
As a mother,daughter,sister and wife
And also a good friend
So sad full of tears it had to end
Hopefully this makes us stronger
Cause you're not suffering any longer
Even though you put up a fight
But God took you cause he know what's right
So now you can rest in a better place
But we will remember you smile that can't be replaced
Love all your great and grandchildren!!!!!!!!

Dear Mom,
Now that it's all over, family and friends have gone on their separate ways, and I am in my quiet time at home with just the Lord; I wanted to take this time to tell you that I Love you very much, and that you will be missed by each and everyone of us. I am so glad that God gave us a beautiful and virtueous woman that we called (Muh, Mudder, and Mom). I am so glad that we all have memories of you to share with each other. As a matter of fact when you just had Charlie, Bill, Linda, and myself I remember when you would read to us, and teach us our grace, manners, and politeness to others. Some people may thing that is strange, but that was what made us who we are today. You always taught us to speak to people when we entered their homes, or entered a room, and to say "yes maam or yes sir "and "no maam or no sir" You taught us how to count, how to make change, and so many, many other things that most other kids our age didn't know......and in turn we were able to teach them. So....you see Mom you weren't just a Mother you were a Great Teacher, and Mentor in all of our lives. What it all boils down to is.......that you were small but you were Mighty. I Love You, and I will Miss You!!!!! So...now you are where you always wanted to be for the pass 30 years, and that's with Daddy and with Charlie, and all the rest of your family and friends.
God is our Refuge and our strength.
Your Daughter Lois

Music, when soft voices die

Music, when soft voices die,
Vibrates in the memory—
Odours, when sweet violets sicken,
Live within the sense they quicken.

Rose leaves, when the rose is dead,
Are heaped for the belovèd's bed;
And so thy thoughts, when thou art gone,
Love itself shall slumber on.

Be Still

Be still like the grass on a melancholy summer day
Be still like desert shrub.

Be calm and you will hear your loved one speak, in the stillness, in the calm, their love resounds.

If you are still this promise I make, you will hear the voice of your loved one helping you along your way.

The glow of your face.
Your loving embrace.
I love you forever Grandma Muh
The sparkle in your eyes.
And the whistles you got from the guys.
I love you forever Grandma Muh.
The times together we would cry.
In me you would confide.
I love you forever Grandma Muh.
I don't know why God took you away.
And there is nothing I can say but.
I love you forever Grandma Muh.

Grandma, affectionally known as "MUH" on Sunday April the 6th 2008 life changed for The Walker family when we lost our matriarch.To say you have always been a part of our lives would be a understatement.For my 40years you have been my everything.Personally you have been my best friend,my mentor a surrogate mother and the best Grandma in the world.No matter how right or wrong that we may have been you always had our back.You were always so full of wisdom and you had faith in the lord.Although my heart is heavy,and its going to be ruff living without you.I will forever cherish our memories together and you will always a part of my life.Everyday that I live I will honor
your life.My cousins that didn't get
to really know you missed a golden opportunity to learn the true meaning of family'.

SHE IS A TRUE INSPIRATION TO ME,
I'VE KNOWN HER SINCE I WAS AS TALL AS HER KNEE.
I SECRETLY WATCHED HER FOR YEARS AS I GREW,
I WONDER IF SHE EVER KNEW.
I HAVE ALWAYS HAD NOTHING BUT RESPECT FOR HER.
THIS RESPECT WAS TAUGHT FROM MY PARENTS, THAT IS FOR SURE.
AS I CAME INTO MYSELF..A WOMEN, IT CAME FROM WITHIN.
THEN I FELL IN LOVE WITH HER, ALL OVER AGAIN.
I HOPED HER LIFE WOULD NEVER END,
AS I GREW UP, SHE BECAME MY FRIEND.
SHE HAS ALWAYS BELIEVED IN ME,
AND SEEN WHAT OTHERS COULDN'T SEE.
I will love and miss you forever. Thank you for being there for me
