Mother,

You are everthing to me. You have always been there no matter what. I thank you for being the best mother, grandmother, friend, and person that I have ever met. I hope that I could one day as good of a parent to Matthew as you were to me. You are my light and I know that you will always guide and protect me. You instilled Christian morals and values in me I promise to you that I will instill these same christian values in Matthew. I Love you today, tomorrow, and forever. I know that I will see your face again one day when the Lord says it's time for me to come home. I will never forget you mother. Again, thanks for devoting your whole life to your children, grandchildren, and friends. It is your time to rest and relax. God Bless and keep you alway. I Love you.

Your son,
Brian (Pooh)

Matthew sends you love and kisses! Poopsie!

My dear sweet mother how can I possibly tell you good-bye, I just can not........My heart aches, my only relief is that you are no longer
in pain. I will miss so many wonderful things about you....your great cooking, how you made us
girls beautiful handsown clothes when we were gowing up,not to mention the gorgeous Spinerette uniforms, you had to handsew each individual bead! I always knew I could call on you just to talk,sometimes it was just silly, useless talk, then other times heavy talks concerning the bible and how it is to be interpreted.
You always knew how to make me feel like your "special little girl".........love you so much mother...tweedle

I will miss your kisses so much grandma....your little grandson...matthew

Mother, You have not died in my opinion, for you will live on in our hearts forever.
I will miss all of our talks about flowers and gardening.

I loved spending time with you and reading the Bible. I loved going to the Baptist Church when we were little. I loved singing in the choir. I loved you very much. You were a model christian mother who lived by the Ten Commandments.
Mother, I want to you know what you instilled in me as a young child still has an impact on my adult life: TO LIVE LIFE TO ITS FULLEST, LOVE THY NEIGHBOR, BE KIND TO ONESELF AND OTHERS, and TO LOVE GOD WITH ALL THINE HEART.

I hope that I am able to carry on a christian family and home with my own family.

I will love and miss you.

Love,

My fondest memories and dedication to my grandmother:

Grandma, thank you for everything.

I will miss your smile, your beautiful skin, and twinkling blue eyes. I will always cherish the time spent with you and the memories of your "home cookin'"...especially chicken curry and chocolate chip cookies. :)

What I most want to say to you is that:
"You were my angel while you were on this earth and you will continue to be my angel while you're in heaven."

I love & know your heart.

Ida Dear,

I still remember that lunch treat you gave me when I was leaving for New York. I also recollect your kindness to my son. I will miss you, but I am thankful to our Saving Lord that you are now resting in His arms. Good bye, my friend.

Dear Granny,the last time we spent time together I cooked for us and took care of you during the dificult time of Glen passing on.(give him and Harvey a hug and kiss for me)Thank you for having breakfast and so on with Nigel and I. I cherish that as our last time together, though I know in my heart you are not in pain and are in a better place. We will miss your physical presence. But you are always going to be with us in a spiritual way and perhaps thats is better, I will carry you with me always. Thank you for EVERY thing you have done for me. So it is time for me to stop missing you,for you are ringht here with me always. God bless and keep you. Sandy,lil Sandy, and Nigel

Grandma & FAMILY & FRIENDS, I have always loved the below passage that I came across years and years ago in THE SAN DIEGO UNION-TRIBUNE, Dear Abby column... PLEASE READ ON...

"DO NOT STAND AT MY GRAVE AND WEEP,
"I AM NOT THERE, I DO NOT SLEEP.
"I AM THOUSAND WINDS THAT BLOW;
"I AM THE DIAMOND GLINTS ON SNOW.
"I AM THE SUNLIGHT ON RIPENED GRAIN;
"I AM THE GENTLE AUTUMN'S RAIN.
"WHEN YOU AWAKEN IN THE MORNING'S HUSH,
"I AM THE SWIFT UPLIFTING RUSH
"OF QUIET BIRDS IN CIRCLED FLIGHT.
"I AM THE SOFT STAR THAT SHINES AT NIGHT.
"DO NOT STAND AT MY GRAVE AND CRY.
"I AM NOT THERE; I DID NOT DIE."
