Grandma always asked about Becky, looked forward to your visits and smiled every time she said your name. The family would like to thank Sister Georgeann, Pastor Bob, Kristin, Maegan and Sharon at Hospice, for their care and compassion. A Limb Fallen- A limb has fallen from our family tree. I keep hearing a voice that says "Grieve not for me. Remember the best times, the laughter, the song. The good life I lived while I was strong. Continue my heritage, Im counting on you. Keep smiling and surely the sun will shine through. My mind is at ease, my soul is at rest. Remembering all, how I truly was blessed. Continue traditions, no matter how small, go on with your life, dont just stare at the wall. "I miss you all dearly, so keep up your chin, until the day comes were together again."
