I have just found out I am going to be a grandmother and while caught up in all the memories the ones of you flooded in.. You were at my baby shower and upon my leaving the hospital after giving birth to my son a nurse came with a package with a little sweater outfit and socks booties and a blanket and said this is from your aunt Phyllis..I still have all of it..it has double meaning now. It is in perfect condition. Twenty Three years later my grandson will wear the same outfit for his home coming. Maybe some day he can pass this story down to his son. You will be a part of that story. Thank You for the memory..Love and Miss You..Sue
i understand / Sandra Renfro (none) I know what it feels like to lose someone close to you. My 13 year old cousin just passed away of cancer, and it's a terrible feeling to know that someone you love so dearly isn't coming back. But just remember that your loved one is no longer suffering, but is in Heaven with the good LORD! God bless you in your time of suffering. And remember, they may have lost a battle, but they've won the war.
Sincerely, Sandra Renfro
LOVE YOU MOM / Doreen Allen (Daughter)

IF I KNEW / Jennifer DiGioia (Grand-daughter)
If I knew it would be the last time That I'd see you fall asleep, I would tuck you in more tightly and pray the Lord, your soul to keep.
If I knew it would be ! the last time that I see you walk out the door, I would ! give you a hug and kiss and call you back for one more.
If I knew it would be the last time I'd hear your voice lifted up in praise, I would video tape each action and word, so I could play them back day after day.
If I knew it would be the last time, I could spare an extra minute to stop and say "I love you," instead of assuming you would KNOW I do.
If I knew it would be the last time I would be there to share your day, Well I'm sure you'll have so many more, so I can let just this one slip away.
For surely there's always tomorrow to make up for an oversight, and we always get a second chance to make everything just right.
There will always be another day to say "I love you," And certainly there's another chance to say our "Anything I can do?"
But just in case I might be wrong, and today is all I get, I'd like to say how much I love you and I hope we never forget.
Tomorrow is not promised to anyone, young or old alike, And today may be the last chance you get to hold your loved one tight.
So if you're waiting for tomorrow, why not do it today? For if tomorrow never comes, you'll surely regret the day, That you didn't take that extra time for a smile, a hug, or a kiss and you were too busy to grant someone, what turned out to be their one last wish.
So hold your loved ones close today, and whisper in their ear, Tell them how much you love them and that you'll always hold them dear
Take time to say "! I'm sorry," "Please forgive me," "Thank you," or "It's okay! ." And if tomorrow never comes, you'll have no regrets about today.
A strong women that we will all miss... / Lester Malley (Grandson) To my family and friends,
As we lost a very special person at this time we all grief.We lost a Mom,a grandma,a great grandma and more importantly we lost a friend.Someone that we could always call upon no matter what the situation was.If it was to just drink a cup of coffee,barrow a dollar or just someone we could talk to.This list goes on and on what this special lady brought to all of us.We need to all sit back and remember the good times we shared and the smiles she brought to our faces.I remember as a little kid grandma was the one lady that would be strick and teach us what was right and what was wrong.With that same breath she was the one there to spoil us rotten.I would stay with her for weekends and she would take me to the store and buy like 6 boxs of cake mix and let me bake ever single one of them cakes that weekend.As I grew older and started to understand what life was really about, I also understood everything my grandma taught me.She is a big part of who I am today.She was very strong,big hearted,tough lady and the only thing she needed in life besides a phone and cup of coffee was to know that the people that she loved and cared about did the same for her.I just want everybody to understand that life dosent last forever and we must cherish the ones we have and the ones we have lost.Your family is a special gift from God and we must not abuse that gift.No matter what life brings us we should always be able to call upon family for that hug,kiss or maybe that phone call and cup of coffee.I love you all tons and just because im here in IL doesnt mean I dont think about you guys and love you tons. Thank You Grandma for the blessing you have brought to my life. Love Always Little Bit

A poem for our family / Kim Entrekin (Granddaughter)
I wanted to share a poem for everyone who knew Grandma
What is Death . . .
Death is nothing. I just passed to the other side. I am me and you are you. What we were to each other, still is. Use my name like you always did. Talk to me like you always did. Don't use a different tone. Don't look so serious or sad. Keep laughing to things that made us laugh... Pray. Smile. Think of me.
Let my name be said at home like before, without special efforts and sadness. Life signifies what it always signified. It is still what it was before. The line is not cut. Why would I be out of your thoughts because I am simply out of your sight?
I am waiting for you. I am not far...just on the other side of the road. You see, everything is okay. Continue...

Wish I knew you. / April Byrum (grand daughter )
Most people in life have grand parents that they know and love, but to some people they dont get that chance. For me, I didnt get that chance. I wish I would have know such a loved women. She must have been very special to those who knew her. I only had a picture of her. New she had red hair. We know she is at peace now, with her watching over her family. My prayers and thoughts go out to those who love her. She must have been a great woman. Close
