specialpeople2

These are 2 very special people,

that are very dear to my heart!

My parents!

Though not with me anymore on this wonderous earth,

they remain very close to my heart in so many ways. Thru

their teachings as a child and now thru their very wonderfulmemories, I keep them with me every

single day and hold them very

close to my heart. I owe these two wonderful people everything......

for they are the ones that made me who I am!

To Those I Love

If I should ever leave you

Whom I love

To go along the Silent Way,

Grieve not,

Nor speak of me with tears,

But laugh and talk of me as if I were beside you there.

(I'd come-I'd come, could I find a way!

But would not tears and grief be barriers?)

And when you hear a song or see a bird I loved,

Please do not let the thought of me be sad...

For I am loving you just as I always have...

You were so good to me!

There are so many things I wanted still To do -

So many things to say to you...

Remember that I did not fear...

It was Just leaving you that was so hard to face...

We cannot see beyond...

But this I know:

I loved you so - 'twas heaven here with you!

Taken at their retirement party........................their 50th anniversary

They both loved their family above all else, including not only their children

but grandchildren who they adored dearly, loved their brothers and sisters,

neices and nephews. Both retired from a small joint owned convienence store

they owned for 35 years so you can see they were people that enjoyed other people.

Mom loved hummingbirds, well birds of all sorts, her flower gardens, her house plants of which there were too many to count, wrestling on TV even though so said it was foolish, her many friends and a good joke. She loved to laugh! What a wonderful cook she was too. She was a very kind hearted and understanding woman. Her family was ALWAYS number one to her though above all else!

Dad was a very hard working man, having to stay busy all the time. He would get his work caught up and would look for things to do, like help his kids with their yard work, help the neighbors, etc. He took lots of pride in everything he did and always triied to do things right so they would last. Inotherwords, do it right and be proud of it or why do it at all? His camp/summer house was his haven until Mom was no longer around to enjoy it with him. His many vegetable gardens at camp each year he took such joy in. He also loved a good joke and laugh too! I think the only reason he didn't give up on life after Mom's passing was his daughters and grandchildren, whom he adored!

This was written by a very dear friend of theirs

about my Dad!

Rex

A special friend has left us

Today he went away

To his final resting place

That's where this man will stay.

His two daughters loved him so

And his three grand kids too

Myrtle's who he wanted

This we know is true.

Even though he had his friends

His children and his life

It's true all he ever wanted

Was to be united with his wife.

So now my friend, it's over

Your journey is complete

The two of you are together

So now rest those tired feet.

Take off you pack, slow down

And enjoy the eternal life

That is what you wanted

To be with your beloved wife.
