I thought your mom was one of the sweetest people I ever met. She just exuded warmth and caring, and I know how much she’ll be missed. While no one can replace our moms, I hope your hearts are filled with beautiful memories of your wonderful mother.

Your mother was a joy to all her knew her. She never had an unkind word for anyone and she never met a stranger! And oh yes, she so loved her family! You were wonderful kids to her and she was so very proud of every one of you, her grandkids and great grandkids too. I'm so proud to have shared my birthday with her. She ALWAYS sent me a card and a beautiful note about her precious Ruthie. I am so thankful my sister was able to have her for her mother and all of you for her family. God bless all of you and much love, Sue

An Irish Sympathy Poem dedicated in the memory of my dear Gram Helen.

"God looked around His garden and found an empty place. He then looked down upon the earth and saw your tired face.

He put his arms around you and lifted you to rest. God’s garden must be beautiful, He always takes the best.

It broke our hearts to lose you but you didn’t go alone, for part of us went with you the day God called you home."

Gram Helen,
We know Heaven is happy to have your Irish wit and charm.
And we take comfort in knowing you are back in loving arms.

Grandpa Bud, Dad, Brian and all of those who went before; are surely excited to see you come through Heaven's door.

May God forever hold you in the palm of His hand.

With love everlasting,

Your grandson, Jim.
