A MESSAGE FROM THE FAMILY

REMEMBER ME Grieve if you will but not for long for I am at peace and my soul is at rest. There is no more pain, no more suffering and all fear is gone. There is no need for tears because all of your love was a blessing. Don’t dwell upon death but celebrate life. Remember me in your memory of good times, gardening, flowers and caring hands. I will be watching you from Heaven’s window and leaning on the gate. My heart lives on in my husband, children and grandchildren for the rest of their lives. But my friends were chosen by me to be a part of my life and the journey back home. Remember my love for animals and the hundreds that I cared for and the thousands of dollars invested at Dr. Bob’s Office. If you want to laugh, remember my cutting edge on fashion and my uncanny ability to pair up clothing that never matched or fit right. I could really rock a pair of sweat pants and socks with clogs or sandals. I was a Fox 8 News fan until the end and really had a crush on Bill O’Riley. I had an amazing ability to continually misuse famous quotes and Cliches. And, I drank lots of Coke until my parting, and it will probably increase the price. Remember that I would always tell it like it is, especially if you were wrong. No sugar coating here, but that was for your wellbeing. I will hold all of you in my heart forever. Thank you my family and friends for your support over the years and suffering along with me. Remember Love, Peace and Kindness goes a long way. And never forget….that I’m still the Boss!
