A POEM FOR YOU  / Angela Schafer (granddaughter)
A MILLION TIMES WE'LL MISS YOU
AMILLION TIMES WE'LL CRY
IF LOVING COULD HAVE SAVED YOU
YOU NEVER WOULD HAVE DIED
IN LIFE WE LOVED YOU DEARLY
IN DEATH WE LOVE YOU TOO
IN OUR HEARTS THERE IS AN EMPTY PLACE
NO ONE COULD FILL BUT YOU
IT BROKE OUR HEARTS TO LOSE YOU
BUT YOU NEVER WENT ALONE
FOR PART OF US WENT WITH YOU
WHEN GOD TOOK YOU HOME
HIS GARDEN MUST BE PRETTY
HE ONLY WANTS THE BEST
HE PUT HIS LOVING ARMS AROUND YOU
AND SAID "MY CHILD COME HOME TO REST."

TO MY DEAREST GRANDMA.  I LOVE AND MISS YOU

Thank you James for this great poem  / Alene (baby daughter )

Reflections

 "Who am I today?" I ask..
And I wonder if I even know.
I know the past has shaped me now,
Even though the past was long ago.

The little moments form a blur,
The times both happy and sad,
All the people I once knew,
And the things I used to have.

They all helped me to become
Where, what and who I am now,
Because everything has influenced me,
I'm not sure exactly how.

But I'm thankful for the memories,
Even of the people I've never really met,
For the people I miss, the people I love,
And even the people I'd like to forget.

For these memories have helped me grow,
They've made me calm, yet strong,
And now there's a story to my life,
That they've been writing all along.

So, thank you for the memories.
Without them, I don't know who I'd be -
Because somewhere among these memories
Are the things that define me.

A WONDERFUL MOTHER, THAT IS WHAT THIS WEBSITE IS ALL ABOUT!  / Alene (youngest daughter )
Dearest Mother, I know it has been a while since I have posted. I have been very busy with a new job among other things. I am sorry for that for there have been many times I have wanted to post. It won't happen again. I know how much you loved for everyone to get along, but it seems like there is always someone who thrives on trouble to survive. I have forgiven them, but I can never forget. I think if they were doing as much praying as they were letting on like they were in their posts, they would not have the time nor the desire to cause so much heartache. I remember when I was a little girl and Carvel and Carlos or any of the other brothers and sisters would fight Daddy would always call me the peacemaker and send me to talk to them and try to get them not to fight anymore. I am sorry, I just can't be the peacemaker anymore. I sometimes wonder if you hadn't have been made to stay upset all of the time if you might have still been here with us? I believe God meant it when he said, "he wouldn't put anymore on you than you can stand". When he sees you have had enough, sadly, he just takes you away. I refuse to let this happen to me. I take each day one day at a time. I don't lie awake at night and worry about anything. I get on my knees and pray. I don't think about it anymore and he takes care of it for me. I thank the Lord each day when I wake up for letting me be here with my husband and children, because I know how much they need me, just like I needed you. And I thank him each night for all of his blessings he has bestowed upon Everett and me and our babies. It was very hard having to grow up without you. I needed you and you weren't there. I love you and miss you every day and I need you as much now as I did then. I believe that having a wonderful mother like you was a blessing, but once you have lost a Great Mother, it feels more like a curse, for you have then lost your best friend. I never had many friends in school, I didn't feel a need for them, after all I already had the best friend anyone could ever have in you. I hope to see you someday in Heaven. I miss you soooo much. I have placed a new song on this website to try and help others to deal with their problems whatever they may be, the way I deal with mine. It is called, "I Get On My Knees". Anyone who has trouble and strife in their life, so much so that they feel like they can't stand anymore needs to listen to this song. It is the only answer I have found. Love you Mommy, Forever, Alene Close

just for you  / Teresa Lynn Bowling (granddaughter)

Hello, I know it's been along time since I've seen you, but that still don't mean I don't miss you everyday.Well, since the last time I saw you I have grown up and graduated high school and also got married.  I thought high school was the hardest thing ever , but I was wrong marriage is the hardest .  I have been married for almost 5 years and it has been hard,  but also good.  His name is Walter and he is the craziest person , but you would love him.  I tell him everyday I wish he could have met you.I also wish you were here to see the rest of the family how they have grown, but most of all I wish you could see mom and dad.  They are more than anyone could ever ask for, God could'nt have picked anyone better to be my parents, they are so good to me and everyone else.  They are doing so good right now they have there own little car lot, and more they could ask for.  Dad don't have any top teeth and I know if you were to see him you would laugh, but he feels so much better, he can't wait to get some back.  But mom is noit doing so good she is letting her nerves get ot her, but maybe the doctors will help her soon.  I just wanted to write and say hi, and let you know what you are missing , I'll talk again later .Love Always Teresa Lynn
