Mother you are the light of my life always and forever you will shine in my heart and my soul, miss you mom

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.

".....no mommy...no!!!  I don't wanna leave you!!  I wanna stay home with you...pleeeaase?  I can follow you to the back yard, to watch you wash the clothes, I can sit with you and watch your soap operas.  Don't put me on that school bus!!  I love you! Don't leave me!!"   ( I remember kicking her in the shin, because she was all I knew, she was my world. She put me on that bus on the way to kindergarden. She broke my heart.  I didn't know any better.  She's in heaven now......and ....I...have that same heartbreak feeling. The same question.)  How can you leave me mommy?  Yet now I do know better.  Your in a better place, with daddy, nana, and your sister.  .......I will see you again, I promise!!  We all will.   Love you!!

Terri~~

We want to give condolences to all of Tia Irene's family.   We have fond memories of our Irene!!!! When we would go over as a child,  she was always cooking something, and would always do it with laughter, and with a smile!!!!! When we went over as adults, she always wanted to serve us something, she was so kind to whoever visited her.  We will miss your beautiful smile and your cute little laugh!!!! Debby and I, and many people would always say that she was our mother (Angie's) twin, because she looked so much like her!!! We cherish the time my mom and Irene spent together, every Sunday, they would go to lunch, then go shopping at KMART, almost up until our mother passed. Thank you Irene for being such a wonderful wife and mother, grandmother, sister, Tia and friend!!!    Love Linda Stephens Bilbrey and Debby Stephens

Will miss your smile Tia! Please rest in peace! Love you always, Toni Carrillo Roth

Grief can be so hard, but our special memories help us cope. Remembering you and your loved one today and always.
