Dear Mom  / Alene (baby daughter )
Dear Mom, I always seem to say the same thing everytime I come to your website. (when I see your beautiful smile, it seems to be all I can think to say). You were such a wonderful mother, so unselfish and kind. Always thinking of others ahead of yourself. I hated the way you let other peoples needs come before you. I loved you so much and I knew you needed things you would not get for yourself. I also know Mom that that is how God made you. It is one of the reasons you most definitely have one of the most beautiful mansions in Heaven. Mom I hope you and Dad are together once again. No more sorrow or pain. I was thinking how Herbie must have cried when he saw you waiting for him. He had the most pitiful cry mom, when he was sad. He missed you so much. When we all see each other again you won't be sick anymore and you can run from this one to that one with that big smile on your face and your face will be aglow, just like it was on Christmas and Thanksgiving. I know I have to stay on this Earth to raise my children. They need me like I needed you, but if it wasn't for them Mom, I would be eager to come and sit down and talk with you, Dad, Herbie and Carlos once again. Maybe I will get lucky and God will bless me with a dream where you are all there and we can spend a little time just catching up. Until then, I love and miss you so much Mom, Alene Close

please watch over us  / Angela Schafer (granddaughter)
Granny,
     Today is the day that we bury Papa and Herbie.  I know you and Carlos were there to meet them and I am sure you greeted them with open arms and I take the most comfort in knowing that both Papa and Herbie were ready to go home and be with you and Carlos and knowing that their hearts were right with the lord.                       I know that Herbie and Papa would not want us to grieve for them but be happy because finally he is back home with you. He talked often about missing you and wishing he had you with him and now not only is he with you but Carlos and Herbie too and he wouldn't have wanted it any other way.  Please watch over us today and help us get through this and tell Papa and Herbie that I love them with all of my heart and I will miss them so much but I am glad that you are all together. Herbie was always talking about Carlos and I can hear them now talking about cars and motorcycles and laughing and hugging and loving each other and I believe that will get us through.  Please wrap your arms naround them so tight for me and give them a kiss.  I love you all.                                       Close

A Fallen Limb  / Alene (baby girl )
A Fallen Limb
A limb has fallen from the family tree.
I hear a voice that whispers "Grieve not for me."

Remember the best times, the laughter, the songs
The good I lived when I was strong.

Continue my heritage, I am counting on you.
Keep on smiling, the sun will shine through.

My mind is at ease, my soul is at rest,
Remembering all . . . how I was truly blessed.

Continue traditions, no matter how small,
Go on with your life, don't stare at the wall.

I miss you all dearly, so keep up your chin,
Until that fine day, we're together again

Thinking of you  / Alene (baby girl )
Dear Mom,
I was just looking around me at all the beautiful flowers in bloom and I can't look at flowers without thinking of you. All I have to do is close my eyes and I can see you carrying top soil from the vegetable garden to the flower beds that you loved so much preparing them for the seeds which you so lovingly nourished to fruition. I have never seen a more beautiful flower than the ones you grew. The marigolds, the morning glory's, the touch-me-nots. I have looked and looked for some touch-me-not seeds to no avail. If ever I do find touch-me-not seeds my flower beds will never be without them again. I guess it's just my way of keeping something you loved so much alive. I know it would please you. And don't worry I won't pop them till their ready . I love and miss you, Alene Close
