We are deeply saddened by your loss.  I only know your Wife, Mother, Grandmother and Great-Grandmother through the kind, loving words and memories that Kathy shared with me.  This wonderful woman is now watching over all of you everyday with Our Lord by her side. May you be comforted knowing Jesus Christ is holding all of you very close to His Heart during these difficult days ahead.

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.

I don't even know where to begin when I think of the many years that this awesome lady was my mentor. When the children were young, her day started in the early am and ended in the wee hours of the night - she was the best wife, mother, grandmother and on and on.  I will miss her and am so glad to have awesome memories.  She and Wayne (Harold) raised a wonderful group of children and are proud of all of them. Will join you in the sweet by and by.  Love

An angel entered Heaven's gate on Sunday. Ruth Morris, my Mother, my best friend passed away at the age of 83. I have never met anyone that showed so much love and concern for everyone in her life. She always greeted you with a big smile, a hug and made sure to tell you how much she loved you. She loved my Dad so much for 66 years and he loves her with all his heart. She loved everyone of her children and their spouses and even the (in-laws). She loved her grandchildren and great grandchildren and prided herself in dedicating years and years of "making memories". I know she is up in Heaven sewing everyone's robes!
In the end her care and comfort was what was most important to all of us. She will be greatly missed but will live on in our hearts forever.I Love you, Mother.

The most perfect Mother ever, most people would envy. Loving, Caring Supportive, Smart, Talented, And so important, She believed in GOD. I will miss you, you will always be in my heart. I look forward to seeing you in Heaven. I Love You!
