Still, we can’t believe my lovely Grandma was taken away from us . We will miss our Grandmother, but her spirit and strength, lives on in each of us and in the lives that she touched. She lives on in me and in all those who have been touched by the love, strength, conviction, wisdom, and beauty of her soul.
Love you grandma – You truly were a special, special woman! You may have passed on, but your memories would always live on within us. Thank you for your sacrifices, your care and concern, your love and everything that you have done for me. Wherever you are, I know you are in a much better place. I will be forever grateful and thankful that you are my ‘grandmother’.
Rest in Peace Grandmother...we will never forget you and
we will always love you forever...
If tomorrow starts without me, and I’m not here to see,
If the sun should rise you find your eyes all filled with tears for me;
I wish so much you wouldn’t cry the way you did today,
While thinking of the many things we didn’t get to say.
I know how much you love me, as much as I love you
And each time that you think of me, I know you’ll miss me too.
But when tomorrow starts without me please try to understand,
That an angel came and called my name and took me by the hand.
He said my place was ready, in heaven far above
And that I’d have to leave behind all those I dearly love.
But as I turned and walked away a tear fell from my eye.
For all my life I’d always thought, I didn’t want to die.
I had so much to live for, so much left yet to do.
It seemed almost impossible that I was leaving you.
I thought of all the yesterdays the good ones and the bad.
I thought of all the love we shared, and all the fun we had.
If I could relive yesterday, just even for a while,
I’d say goodbye and kiss you and maybe see you smile.
But then I fully realized that this could never be,
For emptiness and memories would take the place of me.
When I thought of worldly things I might miss come tomorrow
I thought of you and when I did my heart was filled with sorrow.
When I walked through heavens gates I felt so much at home.
God looked down and smiled at me from his great golden throne
He said, “This is eternity and all I’ve promised you”
Today your life on earth has passed but here life starts anew.
I promise no tomorrow, but today will always last
And since each day is the same there’s no longing for the past.
You have been so faithful so trusting and so true.
Though there were times you did some things you knew you shouldn’t do.
You have been forgiven and now at last you’re free.
So won’t you come and take my hand and share my life with me?
So when tomorrow starts with out me don’t think we’re far apart,
For every time you think of me, I’m right here in your heart. I love you and miss you so much mama
The pain we all have just there but we smile so people wont know. You taught us to be strong for a lot of things it hurts we wished you guys were here. 8 years already mama feels like decades your gone away wish you vwere here we love you ma
love u all my love to u angels in heaven mama from ur grand daughter leah with love xoxoxoxoxoxoxooxoxxx
she’s in the air you breathe
with every breath you take.
She sings a song of hope and cheer,
there’s no more pain, no more fear.
You’ll see her in the clouds above,
hear her whisper words of love,
you’ll be together before long,
until then, listen for her song
you"ll see her in the clouds above,
hear her whisper words of love
you"ll be together
before long,
until then,
ma we just got to listen to your songs
so he put his arms around you and whispered,
“Come to Me”
With tearful eyes we watched you
and saw you pass away
and although we love you dearly
we could not make you stay.
A golden heart stopped beating
hard working hands at rest.
God broke our hearts to prove to us
He only takes the best
Sometimes when I first awake
I think that you're still here,
and for a fleeting moment
The clouds all disappeat for you brought endless sunshine until you went away,
And now I miss you desperately each minute of the day you would not like to see me sad so what I try to do,
Is live a bright and happy life in memory of you Mum for thought I'll alawys miss you Mum
And it's dreadful being apart.
I haven't really lost you Mum you're still here in my heart.

A loving tribute to a wonderful mother, grandmother, daughter, sister and friend. I miss you every day Mom!
The loss of my mother has been profound in my life. This was written shortly after her passing but as time goes by, we still feel a big gap for having lost her. I know she is in a better place and that does give me some comfort.
I know I have a very special angel watching over me.
My mother fought two courageous battles with Heart and Kidney failure and was a remarkable woman! Strong in faith and possessing a wonderful attitude despite a lot of medical issues.
My mother passion for people alwaysto helpthem her memory and know that she would want that. She was always such a giving person and careing for everyone.
Do not bow your heads and weep,
My soul lives on, I did not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow.
I am the diamond glints on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain.
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awaken in the morning's hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds circled in flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not hang your head and cry.
My soul lives on, I did not die.
Mama worlds can't express how much u mean to mi n I missed u dearly
Mama u bring joy to my life I luv u for dt

Mama happy birthday to you luv u.for.life
Remembering Mom Poem
A daughter looks back on memories of her mother, and hopes that she can give her children what her mother gave to her. She states that as long as her mother's memory is in her heart, she is never truly gone from her life.
Remembrance Mother,
as I walk through the journey of life,
I remember.
I remember how you helped me to grow
with love, truth, and honesty.
I remember how you helped me to choose the right path
with values, morals, and self worth.
I remember how you gave me dreams
with hope and confidence.
As I remember,
I pray to be a mother like you,
to shape my children into strong adults,
full of hopes and dreams.
You made me who I am today,
and I will always remember you in life's passings
for no one could touch my life as you have.
Remembrance in life's passing is the truest form of love one can give, for a memory should never die and a love should live forever in the heart of another!!!
As each passing day goes by
A tear falls from my eye
With each day passing me
A memory comes to mind
Without you by my side
Tears and memories compile
Until we meet again
My memories will form a mountain
A mountain unclimbable
My tears will form an ocean
An ocean uncrossable
You are my angel
You are my light
Guiding me through my days
And protecting my nights
You may be gone
But you're not forgotten
You're my angel now
But my Mommy you'll be
Until we meet again
I cry these tears
I release these memories
I shall climb my mountain
I will cross my ocean
One day soon
I will be at your side
I will be in your arms
I shall be safe once more
Happy Birthday Mommy
Love will be on the wings of my angel!!
From your grandson signed and sealed with Love.
We miss the things you used to say,
And when old times we do recall,
It’s then we miss you most of all.
Looking back with memories,
Upon the path you trod,
We bless the hours we had with you,
And leave the rest with God.
Thank you for loving and sharing,
For giving and for caring.
God bless you and keep you,
Until we meet again.
Mothers are faithful companions and confidants even in the most difficult times. Mothers dedicate their lives to caring and providing for their children both physically and emotionally. They always seem to know how to help them to overcome problems and thrive in spite of them. A mother’s love is irreplaceable, which makes losing her to death an incredibly painful experience. While sons and daughters of all ages carry within their hearts a dull and lasting ache where they once felt love and security, it is important they continue searching for the happiness their mother always desired for them.

10 Years Anniversary of my queen continue to internal rest in in peace Mum
wish you was here
to my angel my granny Rita. m. caines
My heart never felt so much pain
The sky came together and dropped lots of rain
I thought my life was coming to an end
All I know is I will never give in
You were the reason I became who I am
You hold my life in the palm of your hand
You showed me right from wrong
But the day you died everything went wrong
You knew me oh so well
The day you died my heart fell
I will never forget you until I die
Maybe someday we will meet up in the sky
I know the lord took you cause it was time
But he should of let me say the right goodbye
I think of you from day to day
Wondering what you would think of me today.
If heaven had a window and God granted me a view,
of all the beauty it beholds, I'd only look for you.
I'd listen for your laughter that was always music to me,
your beautiful hair and hazel eyes is what I'd wish most to see.
If I could only view once more the smile that warmed my heart,
I'd treasure that moment as long as I live and we must be apart.
Here on earth I search for you and pray to God for signs,
and every day that passes you're still with me in my mind.
I know you're happy in heaven; you've earned your mansion indeed,
I imagine your kitchen table and you waiting there for me.
I love you and I miss you more than words can say,
and what I wouldn't give just to talk to you today.
I hope that you can hear me and listen to my thoughts,
and wherever this life takes me you know I've not forgot.
That once upon a time I was blessed and loved, it's true,
and if heaven had a window I'd only look for you.
The chair where you sat lies vacant and still,
The air so silent, through my body runs a chill,
The sound of your laughter echoes in my ears,
The teddy that you loved brings me close to tears.
Photos of you smiling are scattered on the wall,
The sense that you are here, as I walk through the hall.
An empty bed remains made just as it was that night,
Bedroom left alone, even though you're out of sight.
Your DVD's and music left untouched upon the shelf,
Some of which you didn't get to watch yourself.
The cup from which you drank tea alone behind the door,
Left abandoned like a friend not needed any more.
I looked into the night sky, on that fateful night,
I saw a star begin to flicker, like a fading light.
They say a star fades when a life comes to an end,
But for you God made an exception, that rule he did bend.
He reignited the flickering star so we can look above,
To see that star shining bright, showering us with love.
Stars may fade but the light lives on somewhere,
Just because you can't see it, doesn't mean it isn't there.
