Rob and family, As long as you remember she is with you. You also have one more angel to ask God to help you all


Do not stand at my grave and weep
I am not there, I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow,
I am the diamond glints on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain,
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awaken in the morning hush,
I am the swift, uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled flight,
I am the stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry,
I am not there, I did not die

I rejoice to know that when she closed her eyes to this world she opened them up to see Jesus in His glory.

Dear Gerry, I loved you as if you were my Mom. You were always there for me - no matter what I needed. You helped me in soooo many ways. I was so excited that you moved to Florida so I could be there for you and we could share things again as family. So, it was wonderful that you were able to share Richie's 3rd birthday, Thanksgiving and Christmas with us. God has taken you from us but I will always have my special memories of our funny days and life experiences! Love You - Miss You - Not Goodbye But See You Later! I am so happy that you are happy again with all your friends and loved ones who passed before you.

Mrs Sparks, thank you for sharing your son with us. Because of you he has become an inspiration and has set an example for all Marines to follow. Rest in peace!

Love you Mom. I am doing my best with the arrangements. Many family and friends have sent condolences and love. You always had lots of love and understanding. You were always there for me no matter what. A proud Marine Mom who stood right beside me. Never such love have I ever felt, as you had for me. I will see you again on the other side in Heaven. All my Love.. Bob
