The most difficult times to miss you is the holidays. We all know how you felt about family and pulling together during these times and that makes the holidays that much harder to deal with you, I love and miss you.

To the Clay and Lanier family, my deepest sympathy for the passing of Eloise.Although it's difficult today to see beyond the sorrow,may looking back in memory help comfort you tomorrow.
January 22, 2010
May God BLESS this family through all of the pain. Let them know that you are the one to call upon in times like these.
Gone Too Soon
Like a comet blazing cross the evening sky - Gone Too Soon
Like a rainbow fadingin the twinkling of an eye - Gone Too Soon
Shining and sparkling and splendidly bright -
Here one day and gone one night
Like the loss of sunglight on a cloudy afternoon - Gone too Soon.
Like a castle built on a sandy beach
Gone too Soon
Like a perfect love just beyond your reach - Gone too Soon
Born to admire, love and delight - Here one day and gone one night
Like a sunset leaves with the rising of the moon - Gone too soon
God Bless You All - Love You
January 21, 2010
