In Memory of
Mary Dean Arnold
June 1, 1922 - October 29, 1994


Grandma I miss you
I don't know what to do
I couldn't visit you much before you died
I am sorry for that

I remember you watching me when I was sick
Buying me presents
Like a momma and baby duck
That jump
Cabbage Patch Kids book
I'd look at a lot

I would have visited more
If I didn't have asthma
And you didn't smoke

Now I regret it
And I sit
Thinking why didn't I visit you more
I should not have let my asthma get in the way
But grandma
I still loved you
That is all I have to say

Cold hands means a warm heart

.....And I am sure she knows.
Don't we all regret not having done more when it is too late.  I certainly feel that way about my parents.   Oh that we could turn back time.

Julie,
That title will always draw me in. Sorry for your loss. My grandma's name was Julia. I miss her tons as well. It's hard to have to remember what kept you apart. But I'm sure she understood and loved you just the same. Peace and courage to you Julie.

If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again.

(big huggssssssss) Oh Julie, this is so very sadly beautiful, sweet friend, I know deep down she understands that you had been through a lot and she will always forgive you, for she loves you so very much and wants you to be the happiest woman you can be! (kiss on cheek) God Bless You, sweet friend, my heart goes out to you, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Julie, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,

quitting smoking is so hard, even if it would bring your loved ones closer more often. I'm sorry that you had to stay away, but I'm sure she knows you loved her. Prayers for you.
