Everybody that was close to my grandma knows that she was a wonderful lady. There was never a time that she wouldn't offer her help and contributions to whoever was in need. She had a rough life raising her children and trying to work 2 sometimes 3 jobs to support herself and her children. There are memories that I have heard that tell me that she fought for everything that she has in her life from the begining to the end. Now she has been taken away to only rest in peace and be where she will never have to struggle and fight again. We will all have our guilts in our hearts of something that we did or said to her but we have to know that no matter what she has forgave and forgot us and is only wishing to watch over us and provide us with the strength and guidance that we need in order to succeed to live our lives to the fullest just like she has. She will be in our hearts forever!! I miss calling her on the phone at 5 in the morning to talk to her just because I knew that she was the only one up at that time to talk. She loved all of us and we need to know that she is only up above for our additional support and guidance through this life that we will live. She wanted for us to go on and put her memories close in our hearts and never forget the lady that she was and the life that she lived.

Grandma, I am sorry that I didnt get to say goodbye to you before you left me but I will leave it at someday I will be there with you and only thank you for helping through the times I needed your help in my life. You taught me so much recently on being able to be a single mom because you understood my problems. I am very glad that I got to spend the couple of months with you that I did. Thank you for the love you gave my children to help them with our struggles too. They needed it and miss you too. Rest in peace now cause you have done all the help you possibly could for all of us and we needed it. Thank you for your lessons you taught us. Your sadly missed .................Granddaughter Kerri##imported-begin##Kerri ##imported-end##

As I was dreaming one night,
I saw Angels dressed in white.
Flying slowly through the air,
The Angels were saying a prayer.
Bless this one dear Lord,
One day she will get her reward.
She will receive her Angel wings,
And join us as we sing.
She will be a strong one you see,
With her wings she will be free.
To find the one who needs her most,
This new Angel will stay very close.
To help and guide them through,
Could this Angel be for you

I LOVE YOU MOM##imported-begin##karen bevans##imported-end##

I only knew your Mom by Grandma Arlene, I don't ever recall just calling her Arlene, that is because she was a Grandma to everyone. Hold tight to your memories and know that our prayers and thoughts are with you during this time. Love & Hugs, The Gould's ~ Joe, Keeli & Cale##imported-begin##Keeli Gould & Family##imported-end##

The Door That Never Closes

There's a door that never closes,
though it opens but one way-
It's the door that leads to Heaven
at the end of life's long day.
It's the threshold of forever
where the heart is always glad,

It's a respite for the weary
and a comfort for the sad.
It's the door to peace and healing
and the door to joy and grace
Where the Master greets each quest by name
and with a warm embrace.

And the loved ones who pass through
into the light that's shining there
Find a sweet and perfect home
within our Father's loving care.

May God fill all your hearts with calm and peace as you go through this difficult time.##imported-begin##Jude##imported-end##

She is Gone

You can shed tears that she is gone
Or you can smile because she has lived.
You can close your eyes and pray that she will come back
Or you can open your eyes and see all that she has left.

Your heart can be empty because you can't see her
Or you can be full of the love that you shared.
You can turn your back on tomorrow and live yesterday
Or you can be happy for tomorrow because of yesterday.

You can remember her and only that she is gone
Or you can cherish her memory and let it live on.
You can cry and close your mind, be empty and turn your back,
Or you can do what she would want:
smile, open your eyes,
love and go on.##imported-begin##Shon,Renee,Jacob,Emily,Kendall,Kylee##imported-end##
