Thank you, to all of you for your thoughts and prayers. I have never felt so much pain and seeing how much she was loved makes me sooooo happy! I want to share my "Good-Bye" poem I wrote to her...


How do I say "Good-Bye"
to the staple in my life.
Such a beautiful woman,
a mother, grandma, friend, and wife.

You lived your life
and gave us all so much;
Your love, your laughter,
and your "tender" touch.

As each and every day goes by,
I know this pain will fade.
But even time will not erase
the memories for me - you made!

I love you more
than words can say!
So, "Good-Bye" for now,
until a later day!

I love you Granny and I truly hope your soul has returned to this earth to bless others with your grace, love, and laughter! You were an angel on earth!
