She was more than just a high school teacher, she was an inspiration to all those who knew her. She was dearly loved by all and will be dearly missed.

Daddy..We still miss you. Have you seen all of your Grandchildren? Sorry you werent here to meet them in person.....but I have a feeling you picked some of them yourself to send to your children. We always say when a new baby comes " Daddy picked this one out of Heavens Nursery" now that you were loved and still are.. Your Daughters Cherri and Penny

Mommy I still miss you. You have 22 grand children and 3 great grand children. Im so sorry you missed Pennys wedding, but I used the money you gave me to buy her wedding gown. Im sure you were there along with Daddy to see how beautiful she looked. We speak of you often, Penny and I , saying "Mommy would say this or Mommy would say that" . We laugh a lot when we talk of you. I know that you hear us because I sense your presence often. Just wanted to let you know you were and still are loved.

I was once loved by this man and I thought that that would never end however there came a time when we grew apart and went our separate ways but somehow we would meet sometimes on the street and we always knew that no matter what the other one would always come running if need be .I never seen much of him after we split up but that was ok too but then one day as I scanned through the newsppare I read his name in the obituaries and a sadness that I cannot explain came over me I went to the parlours to pay my respects I couldn't beleive that he was really gone......That was 15 years ago tomorrow and I find that for some reason I think of him sometimes more today than I did then but I do know that it was true love that I felt for this man even at my young age of 15 I will never forget him and I will never stop missing or loving him even though I have gone on with my life..So please if there is someone you love and maybe you have split up don't do so and never speak again because trust me there is a difference in not doing so and not being able to do so Im not able to tell Nelson I'm sorry or that I forgive him although I'm sure he knows at least I hope he does..my thoughts turn to the time we spent togeather and I realize that I loved him more than I thought I did ..the only thing I can do is take flowers to a cold grave hopefully you can do more if you can see that smile one more time please do so.....I love you Nelson and I miss you so much Charlene

I hear an echo of "why"
In your final good-bye
We all have our own secret pain.

And I sit here tonight
In this Christmas light
Just wanting to see him again.

We've all heard the saying
For in our mind it is playing
"If I had only known"

But even at our best
We never would have guessed
We would never see him grown

So special to all
It seems the fall
Becomes those we hold so close

To see his grin
Meant he let you in
But to me it meant the most

He stole my heart
Right from the start
And I know I'm not the only one

But I guess for now
Though we don't know how
His time with us is done

And I know we'll never forget
This young man that we all let
Steal a place inside us so deep

For we'll see him in our minds
And the pictures taken over time
And at night when we go to sleep

Mary O'Donnell, my mother, passed in peace, as she had always lived. She was 92 years young. I suspect she is now residing in a mansion in Heaven, and preparing one of her world-famous feasts for when the rest of us arrive. How do I know? By faith in Jesus Christ, that's how. What a comfort! See you soon, Mom. Your loving son.

Good bye to Grandpa, a friend and protector, always. We love you. Debbie and Terry

Loving Mother

Mom, Miss you so much, life is not the same without you. Love you, Rest in peace. God bless you. Sarah xxx
