Dear Janice, Patty and Jay,
When I think of your mother I remember her quick smile and easy laugh. How wonderful that she was able to see her joy live on in her children. Please know that your family is in my prayers and that I am holding you in my heart during this sad time.

Jan:
My deepest sympathy for the loss of your mother. She was a wonderful person and I know you were a loving daughter.
In peace and love,
Linda

Dear Jan, My sincerest condolences at the loss of your mother. She is described as a remarkable woman. Now I know who inspired you.

Thanks "Mom" for all the wonderful memories...Dinner theater in Florida, breakfasts with the "girls", Jeopardy, your beautiful smile, for ironing my clothes!, for always being kind and caring and so much more! And now I'll say I love you and hear you say, "I know you do".

Jan, Jay and Pat,
I was so sorry to hear about your Mom. You are all in my thoughts and prayers.
Sincerely,
Lisa

Janice, Jay and Pat,
Sorry for your loss but it is the lords gain. I got to spend time with your folks in Lehigh and they always beamed with pride when your names were mentioned.

You can be proud of her and the way she endeared herself to everyone whom came in contact with her. While her smile will be missed we can be assured that the extra glow in the stars and sun means she is still watching over you.

My sympathy to your family . May time heal your sorrow,friends ease your pain,and peace replace your hearache knowing that your Mom is in Gods hands. Anne's smile will be missed but not forgotten.

Thoughts are with you Pat.
Recall mother's cheery disposition and lovely smile...

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.
