March 25, 1929 October 28, 1982 When someone you love dies... you never quite get over it You just slowly learn how to go on without them But always keeping them tucked safely in your heart. by: Dawn Drake
We still have the memories and the feelings of wishing you were here in person. It is getting easier but still sometimes very painful. We still love and miss you all very very dearly but had to figure out how to move on.

We know that you are always with us and will forever be our guide until we meet again in heaven. You are all deeply missed, always loved and forever in our hearts.

We love and miss you so much.
To My Loving Husband
You have given us so many memories
When someone you love becomes a memory, the memory becomes a treasure.
If roses grow in Heaven, Lord please pick a bunch for us, Place them in her arms And tell her they’re from us. Tell her we love her and miss her, And when she turns to smile, Place a kiss upon her cheek And hold her for awhile. Because remembering her is easy, We do it every day, But there’s an ache in our heart That will never go away.
With Love, Carol Ann, Jeremy, Amanda Rick, Tim, Jeanette All your great-grandchildren
Two hearts we were as one on Earth, Two heats that were entwined, My love for you was ever strong, Now you live inside my mind. Your lovely life just slipped way, That life so full of zest! Your twinkling eyes got weary, Your beating heart took rest. I know you’ve gone to Heaven, From Earth you slipped away, But faith in you my dearest Lord Keeps me strong each day. Two hearts once beat together, Now one beats all alone. I know one day we’ll meet Dear Lord, The day you call me home.
Your Loving Wife, Carol
