Recessional There will be no viewing after the eulogy Let not your heart be troubled; ye believe in God, believe also in me.

In my Father’s house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also. - John 14: 1-3

~ Ace of Spades ~

Our Mother It broke our hearts to lose you,but you did not go alone.

A part of us went with you,the day God took you home.

If tears could build a stairway, and heartaches make a lane, we'll walk our way to heaven, and bring you back again.

In life we loved you dearly, in death we love you still, in our hearts you hold a place no one could ever.

I am at peace, my soul’s at rest, There is no need for tears For with your love I was so blessed.

For all those many years There is no pain, I suffer not, The fear is now all gone Put now these things out of your thoughts In your memory, I live on Remember not my fight for breath, Remember not the strife.

Please do not dwell upon my death, But celebrate my life

Our Grandmother

Until We Meet Again, Those special memories of you will always bring a smile if only I could have you back for just a little while. Then we could sit and talk again just like we used to do you always meant so very much and always will do too. The fact that you're no longer here will always cause me pain but you're forever in my heart until we meet again.

Our Sister Feel no guilt in laughter, she knows how much you care Feel no sorrow in a smile that she’s not here to share You cannot grieve forever, she would not want you to She’d hope that you can carry on, the way you always do So talk about the good times and the ways you showed you cared The days you spent together, all the happiness you shared Let memories surround you.

A word someone may say Will suddenly recapture a time, an hour, a day That brings her back as clearly as though she were still here And fills you with the feelings that she is always near For if you keep these moments, you will never be apart And she will live forever locked safe within your heart.
