In Loving Memory Of My Mother

Althea Grove

October 20, 1930 To April 30, 2008

God saw you were getting tired and a cure was not to be. So he put his arms around you and whispered, "Come to me."

With tearful eyes we watched you and saw you pass away. Although we love you dearly, we could not make you stay.

A golden heart stopped beating, hard working hands at rest. God broke our hearts to prove to us, He only takes the best.

A POEM FOR MY MOTHER

I miss you so much,
your laugh, your smile, your touch.
You always brightened my days
with all the smiles you sent my way.
I need you as my angel
to always be at my side.
I need you as my angel
to give me peace of mind.
I like to think your near to me
to know that you are there.
Even though I can not see you,
I feel that you are near.
Please do not forget me mom,
for you are always in my heart,
my thoughts and prayers.
I love you.

I MISS YOU, MOM

I used to think that people didn't need
their moms so much after they grew up.
But I've realized that's not true.
So often, when I'm making a decision,
I wish you were here
so I could ask your advice.

And so many times,
when something happens
that I know you would enjoy,
I wish you were here
to share it with me.

Now that I'm older
I've realized how special our relationship is.
And while I'm thankful for this bond,
somehow it makes me miss you more..
Mom, I love you so very much.

AS I LOOK BACK...

As I look back on my life
I find myself wondering...
Did I remember to thank you
for all that you have done for me?

For all of the times you were by my side
to help me celebrate my successes
and accept my defeats?

Or for teaching me the value of hard work,
good judgement, courage, and honesty?

I wonder if I've ever thanked you
for the simple things...
The laughter, smiles, and quiet times we've shared?

If I have forgotten to express my gratitude
For any of these things,
I am thanking you now...
and I am hoping that you've known all along,
how very much you are loved and appreciated.

Its almost a year since we lost you mother but not a day goes by that we don't think about you, And wishing you were here with all us. What keeps us going is that we know some day we will see you again. We love and miss you very much.

My heart still aches in your passing

The emptiness I feel unrelenting

You were always there for me mom

I found refuge in your compassion

I am confronting reality now

This permanent separation

I think of you everyday mom

So many times I picked up the phone

Wanted to tell you something new

Then I remember you’re not there

Confronting reality requires faith

That you live in my heart and soul

And that one day we will be together again

My heart still aches in your passing, The emptiness I feel unrelenting, You were always there for me mom, I found refuge in your compassion, I am confronting reality now, This permanent separation I think of you everyday mom. So many times I picked up the phone wanting to tell you something new. Then I remember you're not there, Confronting reality requires faith that you live in my heart and soul and that one day we will be together again. I love and miss you so much mom, "Happy Mothers Day Mom"

In Loving Memory Of Grandmother and Great- Grandmother

A thousand times we needed you, A thousand times we cried. If love alone could have saved you,- you never would have died. A heart of gold stopped beating two twinkling eyes closed to rest. God broke our hearts to prove he only took the best, Never a day goes by that you're not in our hearts and souls. We love and miss you so much. Stephanie,Dave,Joseph,Zechariah,Neven,Thea Skye

Why did she have to go
So young I just don't know why
Things happen half the time
Without reason without rhyme
Lovely, sweet young woman
Daughter, wife and mother
Makes no sense to me
I just have to believe

She flew up to Heaven on the wings of angels
By the clouds and stars and passed where no one sees
And she walks with Jesus and her loved ones waiting
And I know she's smiling saying
Don't worry 'bout me

Loved ones she left behind
Just trying to survive
And understand the why
Feeling so lost inside
Anger shot straight at God
Then asking for His love
Empty with disbelief
Just hoping that maybe

She flew up to Heaven on the wings of angels
By the clouds and stars and passed where no one sees
And she walks with Jesus and her loved ones waiting
And I know she's smiling saying
Don't worry 'bout me

It's hard to say goodbye
Her picture in my mind
Will always be of times I'll cherish
And I won't cry 'cause

She flew up to Heaven on the wings of angels
By the clouds and stars and passed where no one sees
And she walks with jesus and her loved ones waiting
And I know she's smiling saying
Don't worry 'bout me
Don't worry 'bout me
Don`t worry 'bout me
