We had a wonderful grandmother
One who never really grew old
Her smile was made of sunshine
And her heart was solid gold
Her eyes were bright as shining stars
And in her cheeks fair roses you see.
We had a wonderful grandmother,
And that´s the way it will always be.
But take heed, because
She´s still keeping an eye on all of us,
So let´s make sure
She will like what she sees.

To the MaCrae Family,

With Deepest Sympathy. Words are not enough to ease your families sorrow in the loss of your Mother.

The Door
That Never Closes

There’s a door that never closes,
though it opens but one way-
It’s the door that leads to Heaven
at the end of life’s long day,
It’s the threshold of forever
where the heart is always glad,
It’s a respite for the weary
and a comfort for the sad.
It’s the door to peace and healing
and the door to joy and grace.
Where the Master greets each guest by name
and with a warm embrace.
And the loved ones who pass through
into the light that’s shining there
Find a sweet and perfect home
within our Father’s loving care.

Sadly,
Marcus, Veronica & The Greene Family

As you begin to heal in the days, months and years ahead, may you allow God to tell you the story in memory of your beloved mother, grandmother, sister and friend over and over again.

Dear Mom,

It's Mother's Day and you are not here,
I just thought I'd say I love you and we miss you dearly. I will never forget our talks, conversations on the phone, this is the hardest thing we've ever had to do.

I know you'll always be with me wherever I will go, no one needs to show me because I will always know.

I don't know what to do Mom I never thought I'd loose you,where I'll go from here I still don't have a clue.

I hope you'll watch over me be my guiding light, giving me the strength I need to win this endless fight.

You're my guardine angel Mom, sitting on my shoulder whispering your words of wisdom to use as i get older.

I don't want to say goodbye but we'll meet again someday, we'll pick up where we left off before you went away.
