We little knew that day, God was going to call your name. In life we loved you dearly, In death, we do the same. It broke our hearts to lose you. You did not go alone. For part of us went with you, The day God called you home. You left us beautiful memories, Your love is still our guide.
And although we cannot see you, You are always at our side. Our family chain is broken, And nothing seems the same, But as God calls us one by one, The chain will link again
-Your Loving Son, Randy
Dear Mom..
I still remember
The sound of your last breath I can still hear words that You said just before your death I can still feel your hands
Entangled warmly in mine I can still envision your smile Although I do remember The last promise I made to you
Stopping my flow of tears I haven’t been able to I miss you
-Your Daughter, Patrcia
For a Mother
Mother, you were just a girl, So many years ago.
You had your loves and had your dreams, You watched us come and go. You watched us make the same mistakes, That you had made before, But that just made you hold us tight, And love us all the more.
We haven’t always thought about The things that you have seen. To us you’ve just been ‘Mother’, No thought of who you’ve been. But we remember now in love, Your life from start to end, And we’re just glad we knew you, As Mother, and as Friend.
-Your Son, Casey

I lived a long life, and I am grateful. God has blessed me to see my children and my grandchildren. I wasn’t a perfect person, but I did my best. It was in life I paid the price for the choices that I made. Whatever has happened in the past I let go, only cherishing the good times as I rest below. Thank God for life and His grace for laying me down to sleep peacefully. I give up the ghost knowing that I am in the safety of his arms.
-From your granddaughter Whitney.
“To A Loving Sister”
our worlds are different now
Or is that just how it seems
For I see you when I close my eyes
Because you’re always in my dreams
I know you’re up in Heaven
And looking down for me
And when I look up at the stars
I know that’s where you’ll be
Even though I miss you
You’re not too far away
Because my heart is full of memories
And I treasure them every day
Our time on Earth was special
But it’s only the very start So please keep watching over me
