Julia, I have only met you once or twice. I loved you from the first time I met you. You should and probably are a very proud Mother. You have raised all good children. Debbie reminds me of you so much. Finally you have no more pain. You are so missed, but look at the legacy you left behind. You are in the comforting arms of our Lord. I will never forget you!!
Wish I could have known you better. But one day we will meet again.

My dear Godmother I wish I lived closer so we could have spent more time together. All I ever wanted since I was a little girl was for us get to know each other better. Over the years I sent cards and invites and called, tried to keep in touch as much as I could. I loved you so much I hope you knew that. Now I hope to keep in touch with all the family that was such a big part of your life. Love always, Your God Daughter Theresa

You'll look back on memories you forgot you had,
And at times you'll smile even though it hurts so bad.
Your mother is a special woman and no one can take her place,
You'll find a piece of mind when you remember her smiling face.
Your mother is an angel now she flies high above the rest,
and in your hearts always and forever she will be the best.
She has earned her wings and it's time for her to fly,
I know it hurts, no one is ever ready to say good-bye.
She knows you do not understand and that you cry at night,
But as you finally drift off to sleep let her memory hold you tight.
She will be your guardian angel through the rest of your life, helping lead you on the path between what's wrong and right.
A mothers love is like no other in the whole world, she has the most wonderful memories of her little boy's and a girl. She has taken them with her as she's flown away, up to Heaven free of pain which is her new home to stay.
So although you can not see her and you wish she could be there, Your mother can always hear you and your mother will always care.
A mother does not forget the two greatest loves of her life,
And she loved nothing more than being your mom, and your dad's wife.
She is so proud of her family and that's in her heart to stay,
Even though she's and angel and has had to fly away.
So as you cry your tears remember your mothers love,
Being sent to you from her, from the beautiful Heaven above.
She will be there through your good times, she will be there through your bad,
She'll be there when you are happy, she'll be there when your sad.
Your mother has become and angel now, it is her time to fly,
And you will never know how bad it hurt me to watch you have to say good-bye.
With sincere condolences, love your Sissy
