Rest in Peace



With death, comes funeral planning. I am starting to feel like I have had more than my share. Grandma donated her body to the U of U Medical School for research since she died of lung cancer, so there wil not be a burial. She will still have a service which will take place on Tuesday of next week. Since she will not have a grave or a marker, we will put her date of birth and date of death on my mom's marker once it's ordered. This will put them together not only in Heaven, but in their final resting place. Rest in peace my ladies, rest in peace.

God saw you were getting tired

and a cure was not to be,

so he put his arms around you

and whispered "Come to me...".

With tearful eyes we watched

and saw you pass away.

Although we love you dearly,

we couldn't make you stay.

A golden heart stopped beating,

hard working hands at rest.

God broke our hearts to prove to us,

He only takes the best.

Janda, I once again I am sorry for your loss. I hope that with her donation a cure will be closer to being found she truly was thinking of others when she did this. I am thinking of you and your little family, Crystal and your cousins and the rest of your family. If there is anything I can do let me know. Clydene

Well I was going to comment, but I just read moms and now I am at a loss for words because of my tears. Thinking of you and your family, please let us know if there is anything we can do.

Whitey and Jo-

As I am sure you both know, losing a loved one is one of the most difficult things you can experience. Losing my mom and grandma within only months has been hell. But I have a great circle of friends and family. Including you all.
There are not words to express the appreciation and love that I have for you and your family. You are always there to say the right thing at a rough time for me. Thanks again for all of your support through the years. I think of you both as my own family. Thanks again.
