Pam, my prayers are with you & your family. It has been almost 6yrs since my mom went home to be with the Lord,& granted it still hurts like it was yesterday. So I feel your pain, & when I spoke with you on the phone, I which I could be there just to give you a hug. Know that God will be there with you every day. Remember all of the good days you spent with your mom. There is an empty feeling in your heart when you suffer the loss of a mom, but with time, God will heal your pain. Take one day at a time and continue to pray. Your mom has gone on to her new home. I love you girlie, & I will stay in touch.

Love ya, Crystal Y. Myers

To Cheryl, Janet, "Boy", and Pam,
We know that words are inadequate at a time like this. But even in this "God is GOOD!". We will forever cherish the memories of growing up across the "road" from each other as kids. Our families intertwined from our early beginnings. Take comfort in knowing that to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord. What a joyful day it must have been for Mrs. Clara to meet Jesus.
Love,
(Carolyn, Neicy, Dippa, & Carol)

Nature

As a fond mother, when the day is o'er,
Leads by the hand her little child to bed,
Half willing, half reluctant to be led,
And leave his broken playthings on the floor,
Still gazing at them through the open door,
Nor wholly reassured and comforted
By promises of others in their stead,
Which, though more splendid, may not please him more;
So Nature deals with us, and takes away
Our playthings one by one, and by the hand
Leads us to rest so gently, that we go
Scarce knowing if we wish to go or stay,
Being too full of sleep to understand
How far the unknown transcends the what we know.
