Grandmothers are blessings from heaven above
Each one is handpicked, only for us
They have special gifts, that bring a smile to our face
And we know when they're gone, they cannot be replaced
This place where they go, when they leave us on Earth
Is too beautiful by far, this place of their birth
God gave us this time, to share her with us.
But it's time to go home, to his place up above
No worries or woes to ever deal with
Just flowers and sunshine, complete total bliss
She'll watch from above, to make sure that we're safe
Always sneaking a peek, while you're asleep or awake
You'll never forget them, nor will they forget you
And they'll hold you your place, you know this is true
So don't mourn me too long, for I'm now safe at home
With my God, friends and loved ones, I'm never alone
Love you Grandmom and Miss You more Everyday!

Dear Grandma, you have always been to me
A giver of sweet, unconditional love,
A soft and gentle presence in my life,
My angel, who was sent from heaven above.
I want to tell you now, on Valentine's Day,
I love you, and I think you're really great;
You're everything a grandmother should be;
An extraordinary person I appreciate!
Happy Valentine's Day Grandmom Donna. I love you and Miss you so much.

Everything my Grandma does
is something special made with love.
She takes the time to add the touch
that says “I love you very much”.
She fixes hurts with a kiss and a smile
and tells good stories grandma-style.
It’s warm and cozy on her lap
for secret telling or a nap.
And when I say my prayers at night
I ask God to bless and hold her tight.
‘Cause when it comes to giving hugs,
my Grandma’s arms are filled with love!
Merry Christmas Grandmom

Dear Grandmom,
Today it is three weeks from your death and it's still not threw my head that your gone. I think about you every moment of the day at school, when I'm outside playing, and even during a soccer game. I remember one week from your death that I was in Parkwood playing in the playoffs for my soccer team and it was raining so hard and we were losing one nothing with five minutes left to our game. So I prayed to you that we would come back and score and with three mnutes left to the game i did and tied it up. Then with thirty seconds left one of my bestfriends scored and we won the game. I was so happy and then I realized that just because I cant see you or touch you doesn't mean your not there and I'll always remember that day because it taught me that there is a God and a heaven and sure enough your up there. I love you grandmom!

Dear Grandmom.
I am very upset about God taking you. But he knows whats best for you. I prayed so long for him just to take you because I couldn't see you suffer in your bed like that but now that it happened I know I could never prepare myself for something like that. All you ever did was worry about other people because you were such a caring person. So please grandmom help me threw this troubling time.

Grandma's Prayer
Granddaughters are Gods special gift
To let every grandma know
That the Lord has set aside a special prayer
For when you’re feeling low.
I’m not sure if I have all the words
But they came straight from Gods heart
To let each Grandma always know
They’re loved right from the start.
Dear Grandma when I awoke today
And saw that great big sun
I knew you put it in the sky
So we could go out and have some fun.
And when I heard the robins sing
And listened to their happy tune
I remembered how you sing me to sleep
I hope you show up soon.
And when I saw that yellow butterfly
Land upon my window sill
The beauty I saw in front of me
Reminded me of Grandma, I know it always will.
I got up then and knelt and prayed
To our Lord Jesus in the sky
I thanked Him for all these beautiful things
But I had one more prayer before I said goodbye.
Dear God, when you see Grandma
Send an angel to keep her safe from harm
Then send her here to play with me
I feel safe inside her arms.

I could tell you how sweet and loving your mother, grandmother, sister and aunt is, but you already know that; however my heart goes out to you on such a tremendous loss.
I would like to say that Donna had such a profound impact on me personally that I will never forget her and my life was enriched by having the pleasure of being able to call her my friend.
If I had a problem, she would always know the right thing to say to make me feel better and if she didn't, she would just listen and let me vent.
I definitely do not have to mention her sense of style and in work we couldn't wait to see what outfit Donna would be wearing, since she took such pride in matching her shoes or boots to her clothes. She was truly our style diva at Trans-Atlantic Co.
Donna always felt blessed to have such great friends in her life, but the truth is we were all truly blessed to have her in our lives.
There is not a day that will go by that I don't think of her and either laugh about the silly conversations we had or cry at the thought of her no longer being here.
However, one thing for sure is that Donna is in heaven and I am sure that God will be happy to have her since if his filing isn't up to par, Donna will have it straightened out in no time.
Just to let you know, my prayers are with you at this time.

My prayers and condolences go out to Donna's friends and family. I have known her my whole life and a nicer person you will never meet. I know that now she is resting in the arms of the angels.
I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.

I am very sorry for your loss. She was loved very much by me and the boys. She was a wonderful friend to my mother (yoko) and my mom loved her dearly. Now they are together to continue their friendship in a special place. I am blessed to have known her. She was a loving aunt to all of us.
Love, Brandy, Cody & Jake Scanlan

Mother's Love
A Mother's love is something
that no on can explain,
It is made of deep devotion
and of sacrifice and pain,
It is endless and unselfish
and enduring come what may
For nothing can destroy it
or take that love away . . .
It is patient and forgiving
when all others are forsaking,
And it never fails or falters
even though the heart is breaking . . .
It believes beyond believing
when the world around condemns,
And it glows with all the beauty
of the rarest, brightest gems . . .
It is far beyond defining,
it defies all explanation,
And it still remains a secret
like the mysteries of creation . . .
A many splendoured miracle
man cannot understand
And another wondrous evidence
of God's tender guiding hand
