Norma:  I am so sorry for your loss.  I didn't know your mom had passed.  I know you must be devastated.  I send you a hug and my love.  Thinking of you as you try to get by each day.  Take care.
Love,
Marilyn I.

Sorry for your loss but happy to know that she is with the Lord now and not in any pain.  She's rejoicing and in the presence of our Wonderful Lord.  I look forward to seeing her again.  My prayers and thoughts are with each family member, especially Bob, Robert and Norma Jean which I knew more than the rest of the family

To all:
 Just wanted you to know you are in my prayers. Having lost my mom as well I know you are having a hard time. There are no words to make the pain go away or bring her back. Trust me I know. Just know that she loved you and she is not suffering anymore. She  is where we want to be. To Norma, it is not goodbye, just see you in a while. Know that all of you are in my prayers and I'm here if you need me. We love you all. I pray God brings you some peace and comfort in the coming days, weeks, months, and years.

Love you all,
Kimberly Johnson Newby

Bob you and the family are in my thoughts and prayers. I will miss seeing Juanita online and talking with her. I think of the times we shared at bible school at White Rock and the long chat her and I had when we all from White Rock gathered in the mountains several years ago. She is home now and in no more pain.

I just want to say that Sue will truly missed by everyone she touched. She was a great aunt n i will def. miss her. May your hearts soon be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate a life well lived & Take comfort in knowing that now you have a special guardian angel to watch over you. Here is a poem i think she would have liked...

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."

It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.

God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

Mom when they said you were going to die, I refused to believe it could be true. How could I allow myself to even imagine saying goodbye to you. I made a promise to be there till the end. I kept my promise that day and held your hand until the very end. I Love You Mom, and will always miss you. R.I.P. Mom. I hope you got the prettiest pair of wings. Give everyone a kiss from me. 
Love,
 Your daughter
