We know you are with God and everyone you love, yet we know you are watching over us. We know you were with your mom through her surgeries. Our sons Jimmy and Donald are a loving tribute to you -- assuming responsibilities and carrying on all you worked for. They worry about me, as well as their families, while dealing with their grief. Our granddaughters, Ashley, Noel, Nicole, and Jenna, are so dear, they radiate an inner beauty and kindness. Ashley is my strength; she misses you very much. When we visit the cemetery, in the quiet, we share out happiest thoughts and times we shared with you. We laugh and cry. Our grandson, Donald is growing into a little man so rapidly. He has your laughing way and dancing blue eyes. He picks you out in pictures. I know Granny is close to you and we feel your love with us. Until we are together again.
