ci&ne'Too-Soon/
I was not prepared for the call that morning saying Duckey is gone. He has passed away. No mother could be prepared for that. I thought wait! It's too soon! He's so young! I didn't even have time to say goodbye! His kids are so young! What would they do? What will I do without my son?
How do I go on? My child is gone. He has left me. I am going to miss him. No he wasn't perfect, but who is. He loved me and I loved him. How do I go on? My dear child.......I wasn't prepared for this.
How do I face tomorrow's moments when my child is gone too soon? By the grace of God and my family's support I will face tomorrow.
My son is gone too soon. There is no greater love than a Mother's love for her child. Your memories will forever live on in my heart forever. I will miss you more than words could ever say and I love you more than anyone could possibly imagine.
I know God's will is perfect. He makes no mistakes. I thank God for giving you to me. So my dear son, take your rest. Remember we love you, but God loves you best.
So I won't say goodbye, but see you later. For one day we will be reunited.
Love Mom

Rocky, it's so hard to believe that you are gone. It was only Monday night Sept. 1, you came by the house as usual. I remember you calling home talking to your kids, asking them how their day was in school, telling them good night, and that you loved them. Before you left, you said Grandma, I love you. I said I love you too. I have often heard people say, sometimes people know or can feel that they are about to leave. They start saying things out of the ordinary or doing things different. It's so hard for your dear cousin, Nicole, to believe because the two of you were so close. The two of you talked almost every day except for Tuesday. Nicole believes with all her heart if you knew you were leaving, you would have called her. Perhaps you knew nothing you could say would prepare us for this. Nicole doesn't understand why it happened, but she knows that we should not question God, for he knows what is best. So don't worry; God will see us through this. He said he would not put no more on us than we can bear. We will always love you. Even though we didn't get to say goodbye, you will * always and forever be in our hearts. Now and forever, we will never * part. You left us with your precious memories that will live on through your children. They will miss you dearly, but we will see them through this also. Our hearts are heavy. We love you and will miss you dearly. We will forever cherish your memories, the good and the bad. So we won't say goodbye, just see you later; For we love you, Rocky, but God loves you best.
Love Grandma Juanita and Family

Vm Free

Don't grieve for me now. I'm free. I'm following the path God laid for me. I took His hand when I heard His call.
I turned my back and left it all. I could not stay another day, To laugh, to love, to work or play. Tasks left undone must stay that way. I found the peace at the close of the day. If my parting has left a void, Then fill it with remembered joy. A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss, Ah, yes, these things I too, will miss. Be not burdened with times of sorrow. I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow. My life's been full. I savored much, Good friends, good times, a loved one's touch. Perhaps my time seem all too brief. Don't lengthen it now with undue grief. Lift up your heart and share with me. God wanted me now; He set me free.

A cknm vledg& nenty It is with the utmost sincerity that we, the family wish to express with warmest appreciation, the many comforting expressions and sympathy shown through prayers, cards, flowers, visits, and many other acts of kindness rendered to us doing our hours o f bereavement. We pray God's continued blessing upon each of you.
The Family
