GRANDMA
The old rocking chair is empty today
for Grandma is no longer in it.
She's off in her car to visit or shop
and buzzes around every minute.
No one shoves Grandma back on the shelf
for she's versitile, forceful, dynamic.
That's not a pie in the oven, my dear
her baking today is ceramic.
You won't see her trundling off to bed
from a place in a warm chimney nook.
Her typewriter clickety-clicks through the night
for Grandma is writing a book.
Grandma never takes a look to the front or back
to suggest that her age is advancing.
She won't tend the babies for you anymore
for Grandma still loves her dancing.
She's not content with thinking old thoughts
with old fashioned second hand dreaming.
Don't bring your mending for Grandma to do
for Grandma just left -- tires screaming.
-- Myrle Dobson
It was truly an honor to have her in my life and I miss her greatly.
as I heard of your accident, I instantly remembered you filing in with the choir and being "drawn" to a sensation of kinship with you like "what is it about Linda?" - I was so aware of your presence. I can't get it out of my mind. I had recently stood beside you to cube bread for communion at church. Your on line tribute is beautiful, Mickey.

Rest in peace. Till we meet again.
Love, Elaine
I feel that I, too, lost my mother and sister all in one. I loved Glenda dearly and my prayers are with all of you. We were so fortunate to have spent the time together since 1993 with the four cousins. And I thank God we didn't pass up the chance. And we know that Glenda did not leave this earth with any "would of, could of, or should of" thoughts. She lived life to the fullest and God bless her for that!
Love, Marilyn
I was weeding my flower garden today and had such a peaceful visit with Glenda and my cherished thoughts of her. She has ALWAYS been apart of my life. As a little girl I just thought she was so cool. We all grew up and all went differant directions. Then when she lost Bob she, Elaine, Marilyn and myself vowed to have a cousin week-end every fall. There are so many memories in my heart of those special times. She loved her family so much. She was so proud of each and everyone of them. She was devoted to her family, friends and to her faith. I am blessed to have had her in my life and the sister cousins week-end every fall will continue......her funny little laugh and twinkle in her eye will be with us always! This is a loss that truly impacts my life. I am looking forward to seeing all of her family in July. Until then. . You are all in my prayers
