Feel no guilt in laughter, she knows how much you care
Feel no sorrow in a smile that she's not here to share
You cannot grieve forever, she would not want you to
She'd hope that you can carry on, the way you always do
So talk about the good times and the ways you showed you cared
The days you spent together, all the happiness you shared
Let memories surround you.
A word someone may say
Will suddenly recapture a time, an hour, a day
That brings her back as clearly as though she were still here
And fills you with the feelings that she is always near
For if you keep these moments, you will never be apart
And she will live forever locked safe within your heart.

THE BROKEN CHAIN...
We little knew the day that God was going to call your name,
In life we loved you dearly, in death we do the same.
It broke our hearts to lose you, but in God we put our trust.
In times as difficult as this, faith is such a must.
You left us peaceful memories, your love is still our guide,
And though we cannot see you, you are always at our side.
Our family chain is broken,and nothing seems the same,
But as God calls us one by one, the chain will link again.

Grief
There is a grief that ages the face
And hardens the heart
Yet softens the spirit…
A grief that casts shadows on the eyes
Yet broadens the mind…
A grief that keeps the pain and has no words
But increases the understanding…
There is a grief that breaks the heart and wounds the soul,
That lasts and lasts and can shatter in a minute,
But will inspire for a lifetime.

That lasts and lasts and can shatter in a minute,

How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.
I love thee to the depth and breadth and height
My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight
For the ends of Being and ideal Grace.
I love thee to the level of every day's
Most quiet need, by sun and candlelight.
I love thee freely, as men strive for Right;
I love thee purely, as they turn from Praise.
I love with a passion put to use
In my old griefs, and with my childhood's faith.
I love thee with a love I seemed to lose
With my lost saints, I love thee with the breath,
Smiles, tears, of all my life! and, if God choose,
I shall but love thee better after death.
-Elizabeth Barrett Browning

Dearest Family & Friends...
On Friday, February 11th at 7:16 AM, we lost the most beautiful person God had placed on this earth...our Mother.
There are no words that seem to adequate enough to say thank you to everyone who expressed their sympathy for the loss of our beautiful Mother. My family is grateful to have had the amount of love & support that we have had. I love my mother very much & am proud to know that she touched so many lives & so many hearts. She was the nicest most beautiful person I've ever known & will remain my best friend forever. She truly had the most gentle soul & that is why i know she belonged in Heaven, God wanted her by His side.
Please continue to pray for strength for me & my family in the hours,days, months & years to come. We apologize in advance for any lack of communication; this has been very hard, very sudden, and unexpected. We loved her so & we always will. For Valentines we all received the most beautiful Angel....God Bless.
