In 1966 I got my first "real" job at Akron Dime Bank. I was 21 and a bit scared. Sometimes I sat with Velma and she was so kind and thoughtful. The last I worked with her was the 70's. She was a beautiful person and I will always remember her trying to make me feel better when I was $90 short and felt as if the world had ended. My prayers and thoughts for her family.

God looked around His garden
And He found an empty place
He then looked down upon the earth
And saw your precious face
He put His arms around you
And lifted you to rest;
God' s Garden must be beautiful
He always takes the best.
He knew that you were suffering
He knew you were in pain
He knew you' d never ever
Get well on earth again.
So He closed your weary eyelids
And whispered " Peace be thine "
Then He took you up to Heaven
With Hands so gentle and kind.
It broke our hearts to lose you
But you did not go alone,
For part of us went with you
The day God welcomed you home.
This peom, to me is very beutiful and just right.I will always remeber the vacations with you and grandma. Picnics with everyone at craftsman park. You were always the strong one in the family. To see you sick, was not good or did it seem real. I will always cherish theses memories. You are now home with grandma, grandpa, dad, Jim and Kelly. I miss all of them!
