I never got to say good-bye to you, to hold your hand in your dying days and let you know I was there It should have been a happy time, a joyful time, I wanted so much for you to meet her, the birth of my second daughter named for you, born at the same time almost to the minute you died I called every day, I know you don't remember, and though you couldn't really speak I heard you, and know in my heart you heard me too Your death has been hard for me I have cried endless nights, some for my own relief and other tears for the sweet memories I have of you Your life was full you influenced my life so greatly, you kept me strong when strength I could not find and always gave hope for brighter tomorrow's Words right now are hard for me to describe you and they seem so jumbled in my mind so will end by saying I love you so Goodbye In Dear Loving Memory A Precious Soul, My Grandmother 1917-2000 "Within you I lose myself Without you I find myself Wanting to be lost again." -Unknown |

Greeneyes grace of your grandmother passed to babe named for grandmother, a saving grace the sweetness in her eyes and face and she shall always smile on you and in everything you say and do this is beautiful your grandmother would be proud Karilea If I whisper, will you listen?... I would rather be silent and write, than speak loudly and be bound. KRJ |

She knew and she knows and she watches over you from her place with God Live for love. Without love, you don't live. |

Greeneyes, Beautiful tribute to your grandmother. It is always hard to say goodbye, but as one door closed another opened. Perhaps she walked through the open one. Hold on to the memories, for in them, she will always live. LW Poetry should surprise by fine excess...it should strike the reader as a wording of his own highest thoughts and appear almost a remembrance. -J.Keats |

Greeneyes- You must know how much this touched my heart. my grandparents (both sides) all died before I was born - one grandfather just before - and I was constantly told how much they would have wanted to know me - - then I married and when My son was born - it was just after his maternal grandfather had died - - Married again and when Sharon's son was born - Dane only had but few months to enjoy him (Will's uncle). I don't know why this tragedy repeats itself but I do know the sadness it brings - Hugs to you - I'm sure Ali will bring great pride to grandmothe and mother as she grows in age and wisdom |

I just adore you bill...thank you for always sharing your words not only with me but with all you come in contact with....I know Ali will be a perfect "example" of both her great grandmother, and grandmother....it's been a rough couple of months, your reply and the reply of others has meant so much...thank you my friend...always... ~LC~ Greeneyes *** "Within you I lose myself Without you I find myself Wanting to be lost again." -Unknown |

The wonderful memories and love that you hold for your grandmother now have an extra vehicle in which to travel through your heart with and that makes the memories and love even that much more special. Much strength to you as well and my prayers for your peace as I know your grandmother has found hers. A life with love will have some thorns, but a life without love will have no roses. author unknown |
