Dear Mom,

I hope you are dancing with the angels and experiencing all the happiness you missed for a long time. Having the past months for me was an honor and a tragedy. How much do I miss you? I am sure by now you know. I want you to know that you were all our safety nets and without you we are all walking aimlessly. You made me a strong individual and a caring one. I miss you mom. I love you mom. And I will always need you. You will forever be with me in thought, and one day, I will see you again. Until then, I will miss you...

A Beautiful Angel Is All That Is Here
Saying O'LORD Please Leave Me Here.
Not Ready To Leave But Has To Go
Wants To Go Back But God Says No.
Children Grandchildren And Friends
A Meaningful Life That Suddenly Ends
An Angel Is What She Was Meant To Be
Now Think Of All That She Can See.
Watching Over Her Family Night and Day
Saying I Love You In Her Own Special Way.
In The Night We Sleep And In The Day We Cry.
While She Watches Us All From Her Star In The Sky.
Happy birthday Laura!

You wore an angel here on earth minus the wings,
Your love was unconditional such a beautiful thing,
The lord called for you and up to heaven you went,
Now all I have is memories and the times we spent,
Remembering you is easy I do it everyday,
But there's an ache within my heart that will never go away,
Today on your birthday I celebrate your life,
I can't wait to fall asleep so I can see you again in my dreams tonight!


I will always love you Aunt Laura,
your nephew Rocky

If tears could build a stairway,
and memories a lane, I’d walk
right up to heaven and bring you
home again.

I love you Grandma!

You mean everything to me, and although you are no longer with us physically you will always remain in
my heart
my thoughts
my prayers
because you are my everything!

Be Still

Be still like the grass on a melancholy summer day
Be still like desert shrub.

Be calm and you will hear your loved one speak, in the stillness, in the calm, their love resounds.

If you are still this promise I make, you will hear the voice of your loved one helping you along your way.
