So Hard to Say Goodbye
Adapted from Ruth Ann Mahaffey

To the Jackson-Garner Family, we can not find the words to say. Exactly how we feel. That truly describes the hurt inside,For we know your pain is so real.

Your heart, so heavy, with so much pain,for the empty loss inside.
The tears fall down like falling rain
That never seems to subside.

It's very hard to say "goodbye",
To the one you loved so much.
But if you go to God in prayer,
You'll feel His sense of touch.

Think of your sorrows calmly,
when daylight turns to night.
Go tell it all to Jesus,
For He will make it right.

He's always there to listen,
When your grieve, to Him, you give.
You'll feel the burden lifted,
And again, your life you'll live.

With Deepest Sympathy,

Dolan and Sharon McClam & Family

In Memory of Gracie,

To be absent from the body, is to be present with the Lord. The pain of loosing a child is a constant one that never leaves you. I pray for stregth that only God can comfort you with. Trust in him and keep the wonderul memories that you have of Gracie. I am so fortunate to have so many wonderful memories of Eddie Mae & Gracie. The thought makes my heart heavy as I type this. I am reminded that the friendship/love that we shared were of sisters for life! We truly were friends for life. I am so grateful that I had a chance to visit with Gracie for one last time before she went to be at the side of the Lord. I remember her eyes were so Angelic and beautiful. She held my hand and I felt her soul, was at peace. It was if she was saying goodbye to me. My mother, Violet Lavender loved Gracie with the same love that she had for me and her biological daughters. The same as Mrs Nancy Bell, loved me in the same affection as she has for her biological daughters. Gracie has brought laughter and love to anyone and everyone in her path. She will be greatly missed and forever remembered by many. Jamie & Rickey, know that your mother will always be with you in your heart, and that still voice that guides you to do that which is right. I will always be here for you.
