LOVE IS FOREVER
I still can't beleive that god took you away from me. WHY???
I had a lot of time to think about you in this past year. as you know, I talk to you often. Being my high school sweetheart, and being together for 61 years was a blessing. I know I should'nt complain, but I wish you would have stayed longer. As I look back on our years together, we had good times and bad times. the bad times was usually my fault. I want to ask you're forgiveness for all the times I mistreated you, and all the times I yelled at you. Please forgive me. Your love never stopped even through all of this. You were the most beautiful girl I have ever seen. I wish I had a second chance so that I could make it all up to you. I would Love you everyday and cherish you forever! So, please find it in your heart to forgive me. thank you for helping me get through this past year. I could'nt have done it without you. You were taking care of me from heaven & continue to do so. I hope you get this message, and know how much I love & miss you. say hi to everyone that's with you in heaven. I will be with you when god is ready to take me. so, PLEASE don't forget how much I love you!!
1 Year in HEAVEN......
Dear Mom xo 1 Year in Heaven....
I thought of you with love today but that is nothing new
I thought about you yesterday and days before that too,
I think of you in silence I often speak your name
All I have are memories and your picture in a frame
Your memory is my keepsake with which I'll never part
God has you in His keeping I have you in my heart.
Missing you but always in our Hearts Love Karen & Family xo
Merry Christmas!!!!
Dear Mom we Miss you and Jennifer so so MUCH!xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo My First Christmas in HeavenI see the countless
Christmas trees
around the world below
With tiny lights, like Heaven's stars,
reflecting on the snowThe sight is so spectacular,
please wipe away the tear
For I am spending Christmas with
Jesus Christ this year.I hear the many Christmas songs
that people hold so dear
But the sounds of music can't compare
with the Christmas choir up here.I have no words to tell you,
the joy their voices bring,
For it is beyond description,
to hear the angels sing.I know how much you miss me,
I see the pain inside your heart.
But I am not so far away,
We really aren't apart.So be happy for me, dear ones,
You know I hold you dear.
And be glad I'm spending Christmas
with Jesus Christ this year.I sent you each a special gift,
from my heavenly home above.
I sent you each a memory
of my undying love.After all, love is a gift more precious
than pure gold.
was always most important
the stories Jesus told.Please love and keep each other,
my Father said to do.
I can't count the blessing or love
has for each of you.So have a Merry Christmas and
Wipe away that tear
Remember, I am spending Christmas with
Jesus Christ this year
Evie's last days
We stayed with E& J the month Evie found out about her "jelly bean". Jerry, Wally and I tried to keep her comfortable during the first weeks that she suffered with the terrible itch; we cooked, cleaned house, grocery shopping; all the things Evie did for us all the years we were together on our vacations. Then Wally and I were flying home and Evelyn was in the kitchen putting food together. I asked her what she was doing and tried to get her to go back to bed, but she said she had to do a "Charlotte". I asked her what she meant - I always made a lunch for E & J when they flew to AZ from Chgo and so sick with the "jelly bean", there she was making Wally and me lunch to have on our flight home. I miss her every day; every time I see chicken wings, driving to the Penneys outlet store, garage sale signs, taking apart a head of lettuce (she taught me how when we were teens) - a casino. LUV U EV FOREVER!!! C&W
MISS YOU! XO
I Know You'll Be Waiting For Us In The Sky
It helps so much to set our hearts at ease.
We loved you more than anyone could know,
It hurt us so bad to have to let you go
But i know God knows what's best
That's why he put you to rest.
We cry and think of you every day
It just doesn't seem fair for God to take you away.
I'm trying to find comfort in all of my grief
And it does help knowing you've found great relief,
For now you are free from all suffering and pain,
So our great loss, became your great gain.
But we know mom, you are safe and with Jennifer in God's land above,
Where there is nothing but peace and love.
We know that some day we all have to die,
It makes us so happy,
knowing you'll both be waiting for us in the sky.
Grandma's Rice
We will greatly miss Evelyn and will continue to pray for her.
We do have a story we would like to share about Grandma's Rice. Evelyn made this rice dish that was out of this world so I asked Jerry how it was made. He came back with it all written out nice and neat. He explained that this was Grandma's dish and that it was his comfort dish. Okay, I can understand that, we all have comfort dishes. I got out the rice, mixed the ingredients and it was absolutely NOTHING like Evelyn's! I took the dish over to Evelyn and she laughed so hard and said she never tasted anything like this in her life????? She wanted to see exactly what Jerry had written down for me. I gave her the receipe Jerry had written out and her and I laughed and laughed. He had turned Grandma's dish into near soup! We now have the correct receipe and enjoy it with all our main courses. Thank you Evelyn for the memories. Have a good time in Heaven's Casino!!!
