I Have the most loving family and the best memories of our Family Thanksgiving gatherings.

Well here it is Valentine's Day. That special day of the year where everyone stops for a moment to think about their loved ones. We remember Mom’s favorite pass time was to make valentine cards for everyone from the kiddy card packs…. Mom, you were always Cupids biggest advocate (supporter) - calling each of us making sure we slow down to call one another.
If you happen to read this message, please take a moment to call or text one of us (Tommy, Gwen, Debby or Sherri) to let us know how your d... » read more

Life comes full circle... it's Been a year since we all got together to enjoy Thanksgiving together. Your kitchen was buzzing with life as we shared prayers, laughter and a wonderful meal. There were many missing, but they were with us in prayer. I pray that we all continue to remember the true value of family & togetherness as you taught it to each of us, and to always remember that the real gift is in Each of Us as we stand United.

Do not stand at my grave and weep
I am not there, I do not sleep
I am the wind with soft gentle breeze
I am the birds that sing in the trees
I am the moon that gives us light
I am the stars that shine at night
I am the sun that brightly glows
I am the rain that makes crops grow
So, think of me with happiness and love
Know that I am with my Father above
Now when you stand at my grave, you'll see
I am ALL things God made me to be

Marie was my best friend for over 20 years. I can still hear her laughter as she lit up the room at ARC; where we worked together. She was so caring about others, and her smile touched so many people. She will always have a place in my heart. I can look up at the sky at night at the brightest star and I know she is watching over her children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren because she cared and loved them so much...and everyone she met grew to love her, also. I will always love and miss ... » read more
