In loving burning memory
Sandra Moore

Pretty soon it will be 4 short, yet 4 long years ago that God took Mom to the glory land, and the Angels gathered round to welcome her Home, and the day that it so selfishly broke my heart. I still miss and love her so. There are many long nights that I can not get her off my mind, but she is never far from thought. I love her so much and the pain is sometimes unbearable but I have to remember that God loaned her to me for longer than a lot of folks get with their Mom and for that I am grateful, but sometimes the selfishness sets in and I just cant stand it...........I know her halo must be shiny and bright. She used to tell me that Jr. was the brightest star in the sky, and since that must be so (cause Mama said so) then I say that she is the 2nd brightest star in the sky............God bless us left behind and hope that we will be deemed worthy enough one day to fly beside her if we are chosen to enter the Pearly Gates of Heaven.

What wonderful sweet thoughts for your
Memaw. I believe that there are truly Angels in Heaven and she is one of them for sure, and that she knows your thoughts and your words. She loved the both of you very deeply and dearly, and always wanted the best for you both. There are a lot of things that you don't know, and some day I will share them with you when you are older. Memaw would have loved to have spent every waking moment with the two of you. She loved you as much as she loved her own kids. I wish she could have had longer with you guys and that you could have had longer with her as well. You are right that she was the best Memaw in the whole world and she was the best Mom in the whole world. I know that I could never even come close to half of what she was. When God made her the "mold was broken". She was a very very special woman/Mom/friend/and Memaw. If we live to be 100 years old, we will never know anyone as wonderful and as loving as she was. I am like you guys, I think of her every day, and I only hope that some day that I will make it to Heaven to see her in her new form. I know I cant be an Angel but maybe I can be an assistant to an Angel. I will settle for less just to be near her in some form. I do hope that some day you will both tell wonderful stories of your Memaw to your own children as you mentioned Brandon. In honor of your love for Memaw I hope that you both will go down the right paths in life that she would have wanted for you.
Love you

I thank you again for your special entry in Memaw's guest book. I'm sure that if she knows anything about what's going on here on Earth, that she smiled a huge smile when you wrote this entry. Always remember that she and Jesus know what you are doing and what you are thinking, so please always do only what you know they would be proud of you for. Honor Memaw's memory with being the best you can possibly be.
That's what I try to do too. I know that she was and is proud of me,and that she awaits my arrival at her new Heavenly home. She knows that Jesus will call for me to join her when He is ready for me, so I try to do what He would want me to do so that I can one day deserve to be there with them, and He and Memaw and me and many others only want what is best for you, so that one day you too can join us.
I love you and thank you for loving my Mom the way you did and do. Be the Angel on Earth that Memaw and Jesus would want you to be. They love you as much if not more than anyone.

I miss you, a bunch. I think of you all the time, I go back to all the memories we shared together. The times I would stay over and you would stay up late with me telling me stories. When we would go shopping together, when I woke up to the smell of you cooking my favorite breakfast. I miss everything we used to do together, you were one of my closest family memebers. I love you Memaw, and your still in my heart.

Thank you Brittany. She loved you so much too. I miss her and love her so much too that sometimes I try to call her and then realize that I cant actually call Heaven, and that she is no longer a land line away. She was my best friend, my Mother and my Mom, and it hurts my heart to know that I will never be able to visit her here again. She is in a much better home now, but I still miss her dearly and wish I could just touch her and see her angelic eyes telling me that I am her baby. Thank you so much Brittany for this entry. I love you.

I had the pleasure of working with Jean years ago and do agree, she was a sweet and wonderful person. I had not seen her in years, but do remember her kind spirit. God bless the family.

Thanks to everyone for their kind words. The world suffers a great loss, with the loss of my precious Mom. She was the most wonderful woman I will ever have the honor of knowing, and I was so fortunate to call her my Mom. She was nothing less than a wonderful, compassionate, caring, loving friend, Mom, Mother, Grand Mother, Great Grand Mother, and wife throughout her life. She was a faithful Christian as well. The world was a much better place with her in it.
I love and miss my Mom dearly. Life shall never be the same.
