Merry Heavenly Christmas Mom. As time goes by I miss you more and more. I grieve you leaving so deep. At the same time I feel you around me so much. I hear you speak to me or notice a look you’d give me at times. Sometimes it makes me smile or chuckle. Sometimes I know you mean for me to get straight. I love it all. You’ve always watched over me and wanted to be my hero. I wish I would’ve let you be that more. I always wanted to show you “I got this”. Little did I know I didn’t have much without you. But with you I had everything. I hope you know that. I know you’re watching and with me always. Love you Mom♥️

In Christmas lights memories unfold and Your spirit, a warmth, forever to hold. Though you're now gone your love's embrace lingers with us in each holiday grace. In the glow of Christmas candles, a flicker so bright, Merry Christmas, dear Mom, in your eternal light. We miss you. We left a present in your Video Gallery, one of your favorite Christmas songs.

Mom. It’s your birthday week. I still think of you every day.. but you know that. Sometimes I ask God to hug you for me , or to just tell you I love you  Although I feel you are my Angel and already know… it’s nice to know you get it straight from Him. I still miss you. I so wish I could sit beside you. One day I will. Happy Birthday. I simply love you ♥️

It’s Our Day Mom. You passing on my birthday has given great dimension for me. Higher and deeper love at the same time. I’ve always been extreme with things. As bad as I want to go into deep sorrow.. I feel you’re exiting this life on this date to be a big mark for me to know how much you love me. Like… I’m leaving for now but making sure you know I love you forever. That’s what I feel  I know how you love us all … you made such an impact on your children with your big love. Your husband as well. We love you Mom  And miss you so much. Until we meet you again stay my Angel please ♥️

Today is our one year anniversary of you going home. God called you to be with Him. For whatever reason He decided it was on my birthday. Kendall always said her birthday was “our day”… so Mom… this will always be “our day”…. I only wished I’d had the heart of my daughters with you. But you and I always did things different. And that made us “us”… and I will always cherish that!! I love and miss you… Happy Us Day … ♥️

Mom. It’s a day before Mother’s Day. The first Mother’s Day without you here on earth  I know you already know… I think of you every. Single. Day. I hear your voice. I can feel when I do something approving or you fussing at me with your one word you liked to use … “ Debra !?! “  I honestly feel your presence when I feel lonely or sad, or overwhelmed. Thank you again a million times over for all you did for me and the boys. I know you loved us with all you had We’re taking care of Dad best we can. He’s getting along pretty good. He misses you so much… and still dearly loves you. As we all do ♥️ Happy Mother’s Day in Heaven Momma ♥️

My Mother (a poem by Carol Bodenham)

Look up to the sky.
Now tell me what you see.
A cloud, the moon, possibly the sun.
Many answers there will be.

When I look up to the sky,
I'll tell you what I see.
I see my mother,
And she's looking back at me.

She tells me she didn't want to leave us,
But it was time for her to depart.
It was the hardest thing she had to do,
And it's breaking her heart.

She tells me we mustn't be sad
Because finally she's pain free.
She's found her place in heaven
Underneath a blossom tree.

She'll always be there to guide us
When we feel we've lost the way.
She'll always be there to comfort us
And wipe those tears away.

She'll always be there to share our joy
And laugh at the jokes we make.
In order to feel her presence,
Only a little imagination it'll take.

She may be in the form of a butterfly
Or simply a floating feather
Or hovering over like a busy bee
Or simply part of the weather.

You've all come here to say your farewell,
But for me it's not goodbye.
If I want to see her, all I have to do
Is look up to the sky.

She was an amazing, generous lady. It was truly a pleasure working with her. She will be deeply missed.
May you blessed in the next life, Mrs. Graham, as I was in this one by knowing you.

My wife suffered a fatal heart attack 20 May 2021. She would have been 83 7 August.  I have lost the love of my life. We would have been married 42 years 14 September. Though I am understandably devastated by her departure, I am comforted in the knowledge she will be with the Lord and not suffer pain nor illness in her new abode. Jesus will comfort her now. She's in good hands and I look forward to seeing her and all our dear departed relatives when the time comes for me.

Sis you will be sadly missed,I know we didn't spend much time together,by the time I was old enough to hang out with you,you were almost ready to leave home,we had those four brothers between us.The text and pictures we've been sending each other holds a special place in my heart.Death holds a heartache No one can heal,love leaves a memory no one can steal.
SIDE BY SIDE OR MILES APART SISTERS WILL ALWAYS BE CONNECTED BY HEART...

Rest in peace my beautiful mother, I will miss you. “Heavenly Father, at this moment, nothing seems to be able to help the loss I feel after my mother's passing. My heart is broken and my spirit mourns. All I know is that your grace is sufficient and there is comfort knowing she is with you in heaven…”

Her Life

Remembering June...

May 20, 2021
   Dortha June Graham, "June" was a caring wife, mother, grandmother, sister, and friend. She left this world suddenly, peacefully on May 20, 2021 at age 82, to join her relatives, friends and pet animal family members in Heaven. June has brothers Jimmy, Bobby, George and Bill and a sister, Linda. 

   June was born to Floyd and Della Wilson on August 7, 1938. After schooling she left her hometown to chase her dreams and see other places, venturing to Ohio, and Virginia and  visiting even New York City. In Virginia she met her husband, David. June and David celebrated their 41st Wedding Anniversary on September 14th. June raised three children: Debbie, Chuck and William.  

   As a child, June lived with her parents on their beautiful farm in rural West Virginia. She loved spending time in the kitchen whenever she could, creating delicious meals for her family. Her family knew very well her hearty home cooking, like her pickled eggs, macaroni and cheese, deviled eggs and carrot cake. She had some exotic dishes as well, like her tender pea salad based on a Russian recipe. She would gather around the kitchen table starting with prayer to give thanks, and then her wonderful meals cooked with love.

   June loved music, particularly gospel music, and participated in singing in choirs, where she would sing soprano. Some of her favorite songs to sing were "It Is Well With My Soul", "Amazing Grace" and "Green Green Grass of Home".  One of her most loved musical artists was Charley Pride, and his songs "Crystal Chandelier" and "Kiss an Angel Good Morning", were favorites of hers. She also watched TV - Joyce Meyer and the Mandelorian were favorites. 

  June loved her pets with all her heart. Her most current rescue cat, "Cleo" enjoyed many days with her mother, playing, listening to music, watching QVC and the Food Network together and taking naps. 

   A private service is scheduled. In lieu of flowers, please donate to the Prince William SPCA at https://pwspca.org/make-a-donation/ and or "A Cat's Friend Inc" at P.O. Box 907

Christmas Eve

December 24, 2021
   My mind is seeing Christmas of days gone by with  you in the kitchen …and your blue lights on the tree you loved so much. Most times at Christmas we had snow on the ground and deep, you’d love to spray snow on the windows and candles placed to shine through.The best ever carrot cake you’d make… with walnuts we gathered and delicious homemade fudge. You liked to make the Turkey at night so when morning came it would be just right. Your perfect touches were done with love. With Christmas shows on TV with songs a blare you’d be singing so loud it would fill the air. The magic you made on Christmas Day was like no other. … I’ll always remember my Angel Mother. Every day in every way. Merry Christmas in Heaven Momma. You in good hands up there  and loved so much here

My heart is between broke and numb. The strength I have is truly from God. Mom has taught me to always look to Him and with her passing she is making sure I do. I will always have her with me... I’ve heard her voice a million times even when she wasn’t near me. Her strength was beyond measure   A woman who would stand against all odds and make life go on. Her bravery taught me to do the right thing even when I was scared or have done wrong. And that I was as good as the next person. My brothers and I she sacrificed herself for over and over.She didn’t mix words and was to the point. I feel blessed to have known her... and have had her as my Mother. And as strong as she was... she had the softest most tender heart. May I rise to match her quality... Mom I will see you later ( as your father would only say)  Your spirit is at rest in heaven with God our Father. I love you ♥️
