Iris Virginia (Lehl) Lowrance

Jesus decided he could no longer wait to have such a precious angel by his side, so he took our mom to be with him in Heaven on Monday, August 27th, 2012. She broke her femur on July 17th, 2012. She came home to stay with her two daughters, Debbie and Donna where she passed away, peacefully with her daughters by her side. She will be missed so much. She was such a giving, caring and beautiful woman. She was a wonderful mother, grandmother, great-grandmother and friend.

Iris is preceded in death by her son, Larry Lehl She is survived by her children, Gary (Elaine) Lehl, Debra Newman, Richard Lehl and Donna McBride; grandchildren, Amy (Chap) Nelson, Damian Blubaugh, Chad (Sierra) Lehl, Travis ( Cory) Lehl, Bethany (Orlando) Herrera and Stefanie (Jason) Applequist; great grandchildren, Ruben Martinez, Cameron Hettinger, Anthony Gosch, Emeric Herrera and Ayden Applequist. Iris also leaves behind her beloved kitty, Gypsy and dogs, Fritzy and Pepper.

If I had my child to

Raise over again-

I'd finger paint more

And point the finger less

I'd do less correcting

And more connecting

I'd take my eyes off my

Watch and watch

With My eyes

I would care to less

And know to care more

I'd take more hikes and

Fly more Kites

I'd stop serious

And seriously play

I'd run through more

Fields and gaze at

More Stars

I'd do more hugging

And less Tugging

I would be firm less

Often and affirm much

More

I'd build self esteem first

And care for the house later

I'd teach less about

The love of power

And more about

The power of love

Take care of yourselves

And have happy lives-

Life is short
