Wendy,
We thought of you with love today, but that is nothing new. We thought about you yesterday and days before that too. We think of you in silence, we often speak your name. All we have are memories and your picture in a frame.
Your memory is our keepsake, with which we'll never part. God has you in his keeping, WE HAVE YOU IN OUR HEART.
WE lOVE YOU AND MISS YOU DEARLY, BUT ALSO KNOW YOU ARE IN A BETTER PLACE, AND THAT'S WHAT MAKES IT JUST A LITTLE EASIER NOT HAVING YOU HERE WITH US.

Steve Hebert

October 21, 2008

Sister, it is hard to believe that you left us one year ago today. We miss you and there is seldom a day passes without thought of you and all the good times together. Save a spot for me on that boat to the hot fishing hole and we will fish the time away together. See you there.
Love
Steve

Wendy Loo,
We can't believe a year has passed since we last held you in our arms. We all walked in your honor, our angel, and we have missed you every single day since you've been gone. We feel your love around us and we see your quiet wisdom in the eyes of your granddaughter, Keira Ann - so until we meet again, those small things will have to give us comfort and soothe our hearts.
With Love,
Glenn and Joanne and family

My dearest loved ones,
I saw a tear fall down your face. You didn't see me standing there,Nor could you feel my soft embrace.
But I was standing next to you,I know you looked around. You seemed to wonder what it was, you thought you heard a sound.
Yes my loves, it was I, who came to check on you. I saw a tear fall from your eye, I knew you were feeling blue.
Even though you cannot see me,Please know that I am near, I am now an angel from above to brush away your tears.
I know each day you think of me and many times shed a tear. But please just close your eyes and know that I am near.
As I have told you often, do not be afraid to cry. It does relieve the pain knowing we had to say goodbye.
One thing is for certain, even though life on earth is over I'm closer to you now than ever I was before.
I know you still don't understand why I had to leave this earth. God doesn't have any secrets; It's just all planned from birth.
Someday when you have joined me and meet God at his throne, It's then you will understand the questions that have been unknown.
Your Sister Forever

YOUR LOVING SISTER

November 6, 2007

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."

It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man."

God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

To My Family, I couldn't be more proud of all of you and the way we all came together when Wendy needed us the most. She touched our lives and made it more richer just by being our "Wendy Loo". I have never known a more selfless woman and it was an honor caring for her. The pain we all feel at her passing will ease in time because these past months have given us so many rich and wonderful memories. May we all find strength in the peace of knowing that we made her more happy then she's ever been and although no longer with us in body, her spirit will comfort us when we need it most because she is now the angel among all of us.
I love you all and God Bless.

Dustin,

I'm so sorry for your loss. It's one I completely identify with first hand.

It's never easy to loose a loved one; but to loose our mother and at such a young age; it's a situation that tends to leave us feeling robbed.

Please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers. Also know, had Brian been able, he would have been right there to show his support for you during this difficult time. If you need for anything and you think I can be of assistance, please feel free to call upon me as I consider you my friend too!

To the Hebert's

It will be the little things
that you will remember
the quiet moments, the smiles,
the laughter.
And although it may
seem hard right now,
it will be the memory
of these little things
that help to push away the pain
and bring the smiles back again.

To my beloved sister Maybelle and her family:

Come With Me:

God saw Wendy was getting tired and a cure was not to be, so He put His arms around her and wispered "Come with me".

With tearful eyes you watched Wendy suffer and saw her fade away, although you loved her dearly you could not make her stay.

A "golden heart" stopped beating, working hands put to rest, God broke all our hearts to prove to us.....

He only takes the BEST.

Love you all.

Maybelle Hebert

To The Cuva Family:

I am so sorry for your loss. She will be forever in your hearts until you meet again.

A life is not measured by the number of days, months
or years that it is lived,
but by the effect that life has on other people who touch it.

It is not measured by the length of its days or the height
of its achievements,
but by the breadth of its influence.

Love, Eric, Cheryl and Ryan Barber
