Myrtle Coombs

Dear Grandma,
It's been an honour calling you my Grandma. You are one of a kind. I remember how happy you always were at your birthday parties and other family gatherings and how you always kept busy in the kitchen and around the house.
Grandma thank you for having such a classical lively spirit that never aged over the years. I will never forget your smile. From the time I was a baby you showed me love, teaching me the concept even before I could fully grasp it. A woman of pure gold. I will miss all that you are, your great presence, your great personality, your great energy. A new river was formed in your name by the tears I cried at your funeral. Forever will you live in our memories.
Love grandson, daughter in-law and great grandchildren.
Myrtle Coombs, One of the Greatest.

In my heart
there's a garden
of joys I hold dear
where memories like flowers
bloom all through the year
special memories Mama
of good times we've shared
and as the years go by
your love is always there
adding joys to my garden
of sweet memories

Remember Lord my mother
lay her soul in the bosom of Abraham
Isaac and Jacob

Love you Mama always
Your daughter Marvetha

SONG DEDICATED TO GRANDMA

I love you Grandma
you're in Heaven now
you're with God
he will keep you safe and sound

You're having a big party now with your parents and siblings right now. We will miss you but you're in a better place you won't suffer or feel any pain.

It was time for you to go, it was time to say goodbye it was time for you to show your grace up high!

We love you Grandma you're the best your spirit's with us

I love you Grandma you're in Heaven now you're with God he will keep you safe and sound.

Mama,

I would love to be near you and hear your voice in my ear, and although I know that that isn't possible now, I still do. Mama, you have exemplified the essence of grace, will, strength and unconditional love. I know that this feeling of loss may never leave me, but coupled with all the times we've spent together, I am able to find blessing and laughter within sorrow and pain. Mama, I miss you and I always will. May love liberate you in your new home in heaven and may you sing loud and beautifully, always. Love you, Tsedale xo

To my beautiful grandmother. You were the sign of strength, beauty and love. You will forever be in my heart and memories. A woman like you is impossible to forget. You have touched all of our lives and have taught us through your actions. A woman of few words but meaningful ones when they come out. I will always remember you watching the young and restless:)
Love you always
Ganete Waite

A Tribute to my Darling, Beautiful Mother

Mom, thank you for having me and loving me unconditionally. Your unwavering love and protection throughout my early years and into my adult life was nothing less than extraordinary and selfless.

Mom, you were not only my mother but my best friend and confidante. I love and miss you so much that I can bearly breathe and my heart is breaking into very little tiny pieces.

Mom, I don't know how to go on without you, so I need you to please help me to let you go for now and to say farewell until we meet again in heaven.

Mom, I try not to be selfish as I know that you too miss your Mom, Dad and siblings as much as they miss you, so can you please ask God to let you be my Guardian Angel until the end of time.

Mom,thank you for welcoming Luis into the family with open arms and for loving him as your own. He loved you very much and miss you too.

Mom, I am reminded of a song that you used to sing ever since I was a little girl and it was also one of your favorites, and it goes like this:

Just a closer walk with thee
Jesue keep me from all wrong
I'll be satisfied as long as I walk
Let me walk close to thee
Just a closer walk with thee
Grant it Jesus if you please
Daily walking close to thee
Let it be dear Lord, let it be
When my feeble life is o'er
Time for me shall be no more
Guide me gently safely o'er
To thy Kingdon shore to thy shore
When life's sun sink in the west
Lord may I have done my best
May I find sweet peace and rest
In that happy home of the Blessed....

Mom, I will love you always and forever,
Your Loving Daughter,
Sonia.

Mom, God spirit has come to guide you on your journey as you explore the gifts and talents he has given you.

My love for you will always be in my heart and you will always be remembered.

Love always,
Your son,
Junior

Myrtle it was a pleasure and honor to have known you. Carmen and I had miss our conversations with you but the memories we will hold dearly to our hearts forever.Audrey

You were everything a grandmother should be. You were wise, patient, caring and understanding, and we couldn't have asked for more. Thank you for being the glue in our family that always brought everyone together. I know all of us grandkids have such fond memories of you from our childhood right into our adulthood, because even though there were so many of us, you always took the time to make each and every one of us feel special. We will miss you, but we take comfort in knowing that you're in the best place that anyone could be. Thank you for everything you've done and will continue to do through the wisdom and love you've passed on to us, and that we will pass on to our children. xoxoxo

Dear Mama,

Grandma I wonder
where you keep your wings.

Are they hung in your closet
with the rest of your things?

Do you put them away
and just use them at night

or give them to us,
to polish up bright.

I know you have wings,
for this must be true,

'cause God always gives
them to Angels just like you.

Love, Aaron, Ashley and Brittney

Sonia, my heartfelt condolences to you and your family on your lost. Anna T

My Dear and Wonderful GrandMother (Mama), I am so grateful to you for being so present in my life. I'm so happy to be influenced by your wisdom and your strength, I am so blessed to have been your granddaugther, and to have presented to you my children, your great grandchildren Chance and Adriann. It will be a difficult task to look ahead without you being physically here with us. But it fills my heart to know that you ride "shotgun" with me always. I feel your love and your presence, as you guide me through life, and one day we will smile in each others company again.
