My Miracle Mother
Mom, I look at you
and see a walking miracle.
Your unfailing love without limit,
your ability to soothe my every hurt,
the way you are on duty, unselfishly,
every hour, every day,
makes me so grateful
that I am yours, and you are mine.
With open arms and open heart,
with enduring patience and inner strength,
you gave so much for me,
sometimes at your expense.
You are my teacher,
my comforter, my encourager,
appreciating all, forgiving all.
Sometimes I took you for granted, Mom,
but I dont now, and I never will again.
I know that everything I am today
relates to you and your loving care.
I gaze in wonder
as I watch you being you
my miracle, my mother.
Poem By Joanna Fuchs
I will miss you. But I know you are in good hands.
Until we meet again.
I LOVE YOU MOM!!!!!!
Your Loving Daughter

I am so sorry I was not around much, especially when you could have used a shoulder to cry on. I was not there, but I loved you dearly. You will be missed. Goodby dear sister. I love you.

The Broken Chain
We little knew that morning, that God would call your name,
In life we loved you dearly, in death we do the same.
It broke our hearts to lose you, but you did not go alone,
For part of us went with you, the day God called you home.
You left us peaceful memories, your love is still our guide,
And though we cannot see you, you are always at our side.
Our family chain is broken, and nothing seems the same,
But as God calls us one by one the chain will link again.

Sister's
Grace
How lucky could I get, I must have been the luckiest person in the world
I somehow was chosen to be YOUR sister. You were always there for me when
I needed you, and were always there when I just needed to be with you.
We had such good times, and some not so good, but you were always with me, and I never felt that I was alone.
Now I have to go on without you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I know we all have a set time that we must go home, and for those of us that
are left waiting for our call it just seems that we never had enough time.
With great releif I know those that have gone before you now once again have you in their embrace. It is once again their responsibility to watch over
you and guide you.
Please know that I love you more than I know how to express, and that this
terrible emptyness and sense of loss I feel is now a part of me, and will be with me until we are once again together.
So it is with a very heavy but empty heart that I let you go, but know some
day we will once again be able to hold each other.

I love you always sis....all I have ever learned in my life that had any importance, I learned from my sisters. You taught me to play in the sand at old park; how to trick or treat and get the real goodies; how to laugh as only sisters can. You taught me to cook and clean, you taught me kindness and compassion. I learned how to appreciate how wonderful Elvis was, and never completely trust a squirrel. I learned to be afraid of thunderstorms. I learned cookies were made for dunking and rock and roll will live forever. I learned to be a woman. I learned sis...now I have to learn to live without you...sleep well my darling sister. Watch over all of us. You are another one of our Angels now.
