Grandma
Thank you for the gift of love, now you're sharing it up above. You had many things to say. All in a caring way. You always saw good in everyone, No matter what they've done. You were always the one we could all lean on. Even though it must have felt like a ton. You were always the strength of the family. Now we must let you rest calmly. As we say goodbye, as tears roll down our eyes. I know your place in heaven has a good view. Because you're telling God, I need to keep an eye on a few. I know you will always be in our hearts and mind. So Grandma, I must go, but I'll never forget your one of a kind.

We Love & Miss You Grandma so very much!

Love Rachelle

Mom I thought your heart was made of stone, so the time we had I took for granted. I never wanted you to die alone, so if I could of held your hand. Took the time to tell you how much you meant to me, instead of thinking in my selfish ways that I could keep you for eternity.

I Miss you so much.

Cindy was a delightful child, young adult and women. When we moved back into the old neighborhood, Cindy was one of the first at my door to welcome me back. God bless all of you that are her family. Cindy, rest in peace.

You will be sorely missed my friend. I wish I would have had the opportunity to tell you goodbye. Enjoy the reunion with your Mom and your wonderful sister Jackie. Heaven is a better place because of the three of you! May you R.I.P.

To her family my thoughts and prayers are with you. May you find strength in knowing that she is in a far better place, and while she will miss each and everyone of you, she is with others that she loves and cherishes and she will always watch over each of you! Be kind to each-other and find strength in one and other, that is what she would have wanted... Love you!
