Take with you our hearts Mom, take them to heaven too.
Hold them as you always have, keep them safe with you.
It won’t seem but a second, as you wait to see.
One by one we’ll return to you to spend eternity.
For us that time will seem longer, memories will have to do.
Until we make our final journey, and again spend time with you.

Hi Grandma, its me Tara…one of the 3 bears visiting you through the woods. You have given me childhood memories that most would be jealous
of. Everything from your Big Fat lies stories to letting me hide out at your house when I was running away from home. I love you grandma and will miss you!
Hugs and kisses! TJ
I read this poem and it reminded me so much of you Grandma “Though you cannot always see the bird singing, if you listen with your heart, you can always hear its song.”
I will never forget you Grandma. Until we meet again.
Love, Jessi
Berry Face,
I will forever hold in my heart the memories of picking berries with you and Grandma Rose. It’s hard to lose someone so special, but I know that you led a very fulfilling life, with many loved ones surrounding you until the very end. We will miss you Katie and every time I see a Strawberry or a Raccoon I will think of you and smile. Rest now and i’ll see you when it’s my turn. Say hello to Grandma for me and give her a kiss. I love you berry face.~~Moriah
