Stacey Oliveri Morrison Relation to Deceased: Granddaughter Grandma Gum, thank you for always being there for my sisters and I. You were so interesting and very loving all the time. I remember coming to your house during lunch time and you always had food ready. When we were younger you always had a cabinet with junk food and cereal we could eat anytime. You taught me to crochet the week I spent on your “davenport” with a broken leg. I still have the “afghan” I made, and I charish it. You always let us sit at the organ, no matter how annoying it must have been. I will miss you very much, but I know you wanted, so badly, to be with Grandpa. I know he was there for you on Tuesday, he was healthy and happy. I imagine he probably took you in his arms and the two of you started to dance! You’ll never be forgotten, but very missed. I love you, Stacey The butterfly emerges from its silken shell- Reborn, it arises, no longer bound to earth. Free at last, the butterfly glides to heights unknown before. So do our loved ones find a beautiful release as, earthbound no more, they leave our sight and joyfully rise to a garden of matchless beauty, a place of light and peace. -Evelyn Phillips
Maureen Vilcheck Relation to Deceased: niece Cousins, you are in my prayers. The butterfly emerges from its silken shell- Reborn, it arises, no longer bound to earth. Free at last, the butterfly glides to heights unknown before. So do our loved ones find a beautiful release as, earthbound no more, they leave our sight and joyfully rise to a garden of matchless beauty, a place of light and peace. -Evelyn Phillips
Linda and Roger A. Preece Relation to Deceased: Friend of Marilyn’s Marilyn, Your Mother is in peace and happiness and joined with your beloved Father. Know our sympathy and sadness is with you and your family. Forever your friends, Linda and Roger Preece Safely Home I am home in Heaven dear ones: Oh, so happy and so bright! There is perfect joy and beauty in this everlasting light. All the pain and grief is over, every restless tossing passed I am now at peace forever, safely home in Heaven at last. Then you must not grieve so sorely, for I love you dearly still; try to look beyond earth shadows, Pray to trust our Father’s will There is work still waiting for you, so you must not idly stand: do it now, while life remaineth you shall rest in Jesus’ land When that work is all completed, He will gently call you Home; oh the rapture of that meeting, oh the joy to see you come!
Kathy Achter What a wonderful tribute to a lovely woman and a great couple. And to the beautiful family, memories and traditions they created through their everlasting love for each other. May the stories of their love and lives continue to inspire us all for years to come. God Bless and Rest In Peace. Those we love remain with us for love itself lives on, and cherished memories never fade because a loved one’s gone. Those we love can never be more than a thought apart, far as long as there is memory, they’ll live on in the heart.
Judith M. Oliveri Relation to Deceased: Daughter This verse is from a sympathy card I received. There is a picture of the stars in heaven. It touched me and brought me comfort: Perhaps they are not the stars but rather openings in heaven where the love of our lost ones shines down to let us know they are with us. The butterfly emerges from its silken shell- Reborn, it arises, no longer bound to earth. Free at last, the butterfly glides to heights unknown before. So do our loved ones find a beautiful release as, earthbound no more, they leave our sight and joyfully rise to a garden of matchless beauty, a place of light and peace. -Evelyn Phillips
Carin M Laniak Relation to Deceased: Grandaughter I have so many great memories of Grandma – my most favorite memory is just remembering how she would stand at the door on Mt Read and wave goodbye after a visit. She would stand there until the car was gone. I miss you Gram – Love , Carin-Dolly The celebration of life, shared in the beginning, and again, in the end. Yet we forget to celebrate it, in every moment we live. Time, days, years, go on, but are we alive? Alive and do not know it, sleeping in the world and dead to the life we are to live. To celebrate all life, the sparrow who sang in the morning, and died in the night, why do we not celebrate its life? To know thyself is to know you are alive – to give, to love, to seek truth, beauty, and suffer pain. In life as it is meant to be, pain is forgotten, and strength is all that’s left to be gained in the moment by moment celebration of life. By Deborah Peabody
