Forever loved and sadly missed by grandchildren,

to sit and talk with her awhile.

With our blessings she fell asleep, with our memories for us to keep.

Our hearts still ache with sadness, our eyes still fill with tears.

Although it seems a lifetime it is now 29 years.

Though her smile is gone forever and her hand we cannot touch.

We still have memories of the mom we loved so very much.

Put your arms around her God and give her special care.

Make up for all she suffered and for all that seemed unfair.

Lori, Alysha, Breanne, Joel, Mark, Darcie & Shauna

Always in our hearts Rod (Ruby), Alan & Anne

In loving memory of our Grandmother, who was taken from us on July 16, 1994 the heart of our family was called away.

To us, you were very SPECIAL! We miss you more each day.

The saddest day in our lives was the day you passed away.

They say memories are golden, well maybe that is true.

We never wanted memories GRAN, we only wanted you.
