If I should go tomorrow
It would never be goodbye,
For I have left my heart with you,
So don't you ever cry.
The love that's deep within me,
Shall reach you from the stars,
You'll feel it from the heavens,
And it will heal the scars.
Happy Birthday Mommie! I Love & Miss YOU so very much! R.I.P

Mommie,
I miss you so very much!! They say memories are golden well maybe that is true, I never wanted memories I only wanted you. In life I loved you dearly, In death I love you still. In my heart you hold a place no one could ever fill. If tears could build a stairway and heartache make a lane, I'd walk the path to heaven and bring you back again. :-(

Mommie,
7/16/2010 ~ 365 days. That's how long it has been since we last saw your smiling face, prayed with you and held your hand as God called you into his kingdom. I often think (selfishly) of what could have been done differently to keep you here with us a while longer. Then I hear you say "I'm Okay, it's God's Will" as you have said so many times before. You beat the odds and sacrificed so much for us and for that we will be forever Greatful!! I miss you so much everyday. But, I take comfort in knowing that you are rejoicing with the Lord and have been reunited with your Father, Mother, Brother, Niece and other relatives that have gone on before you. Always Missing & Loving You!!

God watched you as you suffered;
He knew you had your share
He gently closed your weary eyes
And took you in His care.
Not being able to say goodbye
Will always bring regrets.
But the one who loved you
Is the one who won't forget.
When the days are dark and lonley
Everything seems to go wrong,
You seem to hear a whisper
Cheer up and carry on.

To the family; find comfort in knowing what the word of God says, to be absent from the body means to be present with the Lord. My prayers are with the family; may the Lord comfort and keep you.

"The sorrow of the faithful
is not that of permanent loss,
but the tender sense of sadness
that comes in saying good-bye for now
to someone we love.
May today's sorrow give way
to the peace and
comfort of God's love."

Loss of Mother Poem
Now that I am gone,
remember me with smiles and laughter.
And if you need to cry,
cry with your brother or sister
who walks in grief beside you.
And when you need me,
put your arms around anyone
and give to them what you need to give to me.
There are so many who need so much.
I want to leave you something --
something much better than words or sounds.
Look for me in the people I've known
or helped in some special way.
Let me live in your heart
as well as in your mind.
You can love me most
by letting your love reach out to our loved ones,
by embracing them and living in their love.
Love does not die, people do.
So, when all that's left of me is love,
give me away as best you can.
VCH - God be with you and your family during this time of need.

I am at lost for words. May God comfort you and bring you peace at your time of need. Not only to Tracy and my nephews, but to the entire family she will be missed.She was a kind and loving person.I offer my prayers to you at this time but our God doesn't make mistakes, he was ready for her to come home and rest. I hope you will find comfort in knowing all of her pain and suffering is over, she went home to live with Jesus and she will FOREVER be watching over her children and grandchildren.
