Deloris we didn't stay in touch, write or call like we promised, way back then, but what I remember most, the joy, the laughter, the smiles. The fun the four of us(Shirley, Elsie, You and Me) had at Oneida Jr. High School and Barton High School. One of Your best friend in school, Louise Rice

In My Heart I thought of you today. But that is nothing new. I thought about you yesterday. And days before that too. I think of you in silence. I often speak your name. Now all I have are memories. And your picture in a frame. Your memory is my keepsake. With which I'll never part. God has you in his keeping. I have you in my heart.

If flowers grow in Heaven, Lord, please pick a bunch for me. Then place them in my Mother's arms, and tell her they're from me. Tell her that I love and miss her, and when she turns to smile, place a kiss upon her cheek, and hold her for awhile.

We love you Sister God looked around his garden and found an empty place, He looked upon the earth and saw your tired face. He put his arms around you and lifted you up to rest. Sister, we are sad, but God picked the BEST. There were no farewell word spoken, No time to say goodbye. You were gone before we knew but only God knows why. Your Sisters

She is gone A poem by David Harkins You can shed tears that she is gone or you can smile because she has lived. You can close your eyes and pray that she will come back or you can open your eyes and see all she has left. Your heart can be empty because you can't see her or you can be full of the love you shared. You can turn your back on tomorrow and live yesterday or you can be happy for tomorrow because of yesterday. You can remember her and only that she's gone or you can cherish her memory and let it live on. You can cry and close your mind, be empty and turn your back or you can do what she would want: smile, open your eyes, love and go on.

Do not stand at my grave and weep I am not there. I do not sleep. I am a thousand winds that blow. I am the diamond glints on snow. I am the sunlight on ripened grain. I am the gentle autumn rain. When you awaken in the morning's hush I am the swift uplifting rush Of quiet birds in circled flight. I am the soft stars that shine at night. Do not stand at my grave and cry; I am not there. I did not die.

- Deontae (grandson)
