Dearest Mom:
I still miss you. Years have passed from the date you left us. Life moves on, and new memories are made with others that come and go in our lives. But, you Mom - remain
more than a memory. Your lifetime of love - never dies - still lives on inside of us. Thank you for loving us. What great love / happiness you gave us during your lifetime, and left us with after your passing. Pure LOVE. Thank you for being who God wanted you to be for us.
You left so much positives in us - to share with others in this world. I hope Mom that I can
give this world what you have given me. I know now that we have become better people
for having you here in this world. Thank you God for sharing such an angel here on earth with us. Mom you will Forever Be Remembered and Loved.
Your Loving Daughter,

I miss you still sooooooooooooo much.
Your birthday came and went on October 14th. How I wish you were still here physically. I still dream
that your outcome would have been different. I also still wish Chels & Erika got to spend much more time with you. They have no idea how much they were rob of truly a special grandmother. I look around and realize how there is no one like you here.
You are in our hearts forever.

A Mother's Heart
In the greatest family heirloom
We could ever hope to own.
It's the patchwork of your love
that over time you've sewn...
It's bound with happy memories
and hemmed with heartfelt prayer.
And every memory we've made
is now a cherished part
In this heirloom of your love
held within our hearts
Dearly missed and truly loved.

Five years and still we can't forget.
Sadness still lingers due to
your untimely departure.
Life continues with the feeling
of such loss, and that something
precious has gone from it. How
I still wish that you were here.
The pain of losing you have grown
into acceptance, but still dig deep
into our hearts like a knife. I
know that you wouldn't want us to
be sad \= And, I struggle with
over-whelming feelings knowing
that. Most nights I look up at
the big sky that is now your home
and dream that one day we would
all meet you on the other side.
I know that you would be waiting
to take us home.
Till then I would hold
dear to my heart your
loving touch.
Until we meet again -
kisses & hugs!

Mom:
If we gave you pretty flowers
soon they would fade away.
Even if we gave you 1000's,
that would not express our love
for you, not even for a day.
If we gave you candy,
the sweet taste could not compare
to the love in our heart -
the love you so freely share.
If we gave you a diamond,
that sparkled "oh so bright".
The twinkle in your eyes
would outshine it's brilliant light.
The love for you that's in our heart
No words could ever say.
So we send a soft whisper
To tell you, "WE LOVE YOU"
in a very special way!

I have seen a rainbow
circle across
the sky.
I have stood
on a mountain
and watched an eagle fly.
I have seen
trees in a meadow
shelter of all dangers.
I haven't seen anything
to match the wonder
of your love.
I have seen a sunset
more beautiful beyond.
I have stood
under by a rose tree
and watched the leaves unfold.
I have seen
so many wonders
and blessings from above.
But I haven't
seen anything
to match the wonders
of your love.
Nor have I seen heaven
or seen anthing
to match the wonders
of your Mother's love.

A heart so deeply loved.

Three years today,
your still deeply missed.
You left this life so suddenly
No solace for out heartache
No answer to our "whys."
Your leaving left our lives torn
with a gaping empty space.
With sadness, we surrender you into the Lord's embrace.
Be with God and know that we will always dearly miss you.
Until we see you once again,
may angels hug and kiss you.

Here we are in the year 2007. I would have never taught that you physically would not be around to celebrate it with us. It just shows how life is full of many surprises.
Losing you, is not one I care to remember, cause the pain is still so raw.
It is so difficult still, especially around the holidays. I want you to know that we are so numb - still -.
We miss you dearly and cherish the memories you left us with.
The one taught that keep me going Mom, is that someday I will see you again. I do look forward to holding you and huging you again.
Thank you for always encouraging us and loving us unconditionally. And, most of all Mom, THANKS for being a wonderful Mother.
We will never forget you. God must have shared a piece of heaven with us when he made you our Mother.

Mother's Day has come and gone. I miss you especially on this day.
Even though your not here with us, I celebrate it still by remembering you and the love you gave us while you were alive.
I miss you and your loving arms around us. You were the most precious, special, kind, genorous, unselfish and loving mother that God, our father had blessed us with. We want to send you our love on this special day.
Mom, I try really hard to keep your memory alive with your grand daughters, Chelsea & Erika. It is a lost to them that you are not here. How sad for Luther and I that they will not get to experience your loving touch and kindness.
BUT... all is not lost Mom, for part of you have grown in me and blossomed, and I feel blessed that I have become you in many ways.
Chelsea, Erika and I have a regiment that we do quite often.
We look up to heaven and send kisses by blowing them up to the sky for you. I hope you look down from above and catch our kisses.
If you can hear my heart - I love you so very much and wish you a happy mother's day.
Love from all your daughters and grand daughters.

Dearest Mom:
It's two years from yesterday when you passed on from this life. It is very difficult emotionally when I think back of all the days leading up to the end of you in this lifetime.
It hurts still so much.
I miss you so much more than I can ever express in words. I still love you dearly and yearn especially for your hugs and kisses. I even dream to hear your voice on the other side of the telephone, just one more time.
Not a day goes by without a thought of you in my mind. Every morning when I awake and every night when I lay down to sleep, you are the first and last thought.
It is so difficult as we go ahead to not have any new memories of you with us.
I pray for your soul and hold on to the faith you brought me into.
***********************************
I want to leave you with a verse from a song you love dearly. You had them sing it when you entered the church for each of our weddings:
Memory:
I can dream of the old days,
Life was beautiful then.
I remembered the time I knew what happiness was.
I wish the memory can live again.
When the dawn comes
tonight would be a memory too.
And a new day will begin.
Touch me
It's so easy to leave me
all alone with the memory
of my days in the sun.
If you touch me
you understand what happiness is
Look
a new day has begun.
\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=
Mom
This is from all of us to you with all our love.
"The Way We Were"
Memories like the conrners of my mind.
Misty water colored memories of the way we were.
Scattered pictures
of the smile we left behind.
Smile
we gave to one another
for the way we were.
Can it be that it was all so simple then,
or has time re-written every line.
Tell me if we had the chance to do it all again,
would we,
could we.
Memories
maybe beautiful and yet,
what's too painful to remember,
we choose to forget.
So it's the laughter we will remember,
whenever we remember,
the way we were.
the way we were.......

Verna Anderson 03-30-2004
REMEMBERED JOY
A lifetime shared...,
a laugh...,
a kiss...
Oh yes, those things I, too, shall miss
And though your parting has left a void
I will fill it with REMEMBERED JOY
------------------------------------
FOR THE REST OF US YOU LEFT BEHIND:
THINK
of stepping on the shore and finding it
HEAVEN;
of taking hold of a hand and finding it
GOD'S HAND;
of breathing a new air and finding it
CELESTIAL AIR;
of feeling invigorated and finding it
IMMORTALITY;
of passing from storm and tempest to
AN UNKNOWN CALM;
of waking and finding
YOU'RE HOME!
"Thank you Divinie Redeemer for welcoming our love one into your heavenly kingdom".
------------------------------------
Mom:
A year has passed since you left us. It's not any easier but faith keeps us near you.
Somewhere over the Rainbow
way up high
There's a land that I heard of
once in a lullaby
Somewhere over the Rainbow
skies are blue
and the dreams that you dare
to dream
really do come true.

Since I have left and you're still here...
Know that I still live on,
Vibrating to a different measure
behind a thin veil you cannot see through.
You will not see me,
so you must have faith.
I wait the time when we can soar together again,
both aware of each other.
Until then, live your life to the fullest,
And when you need me,
just whisper my name in your heart,

I was so happy to see you in my dreams this Christmas Eve holiday. It meant the world to me to have you back physically, if only in my dreams.
Your new home is in heaven now. I am so thankful that in heaven you won't have any reason to be sad or feel any more pain.
Please know that as you live on in heaven, you will always live on inside our hearts.
It is true what they say ....
Some people come into our lives and go quickly...
Some stay for awhile and leave footprints on our hearts, and we are never the same.
Mom you left us with tons of footprints - Thank you!!!

The will of God will never lead you,where the Grace of God cannot keep you.

The Reunion Heart
MOM:
Since heaven has become your home
I sometimes feel I'm so alone;
and though we now are far apart
you hold a big piece of my heart.
I never knew how much I'd grieve
when it was time for you to leave,
or just how much my heart would ache
from that one fragment you would take.
God lets this tender hole remain
reminding me we'll meet again,
and one day all the pain will cease
when he restores the missing piece.
He'll turn to joy my every tear,
and when I see you face to face and you are ever so near
it will become my simple way to treasure our Reunion Day.
It will be the little things that we will remember,
the quiet moments,
the smiles,
the laughter.
In time, the memories of these little things will push away the pain and bring us comfort.

I only knew Verna for a short time, but from the first moment I met her she showed me all the love her heart possessed. She immediately made me feel welcome and loved. I'll always try to "take care of her Laurie" as she requested of me.
Rather then feel bad for the loss we've all experienced we should feel honored for having the time with her that we had. Cherish the memories you have and celebrate her life as she would have wanted all of us to do. She always looked after everyone while she was with us and I'm sure she's still doing the same now.

A young man learns what's important in life from the guy next door. It had been some time since Jack had seen the old man. College, girls, career and life itself got in the way. In fact, Jack moved clear across the county in pursuit of his dreams. There, in the rush of his busy life, Jack had little time to think about the past and often no time to spend with his wife and son. He was working on his future, and nothing could stop him. Over the phone, his mother told him, "Mr. Belser died last night. The funeral is Wednesday." Memories flashed through his mind like an old newsreel as he sat quietly remembering his childhood days. "Jack, did you hear me?" "Oh, sorry mom. Yes I hear you. It's been so long since I thought of him. I'm sorry, but I honestly thought he died years ago," Jack said. "Well, he didn't forget you. Every time I saw him, he'd ask how you were doing. He'd reminisce about the many days you spent over 'his side of the fence' as he put it," Mom told him. "I loved that old house he lived in," Jack said. "You know, Jack, after your father died, Mr. Belser stepped in to make sure you had a man's influence in your life," she said. "He's the one who taught me carpentry," he said. "I wouldn't be in this business if it weren't for him. He spent a lot of time teaching me things he thought were important...Mom, I'll be there for the funeral," Jack said. As busy as he was, he kept his word. Jack caught the next flight to his hometown. Mr. Belser's funeral was small and uneventful. He had no children of his own, and most of his relatives had passed away. The night before he had to return home, Jack and his Mom stopped by to see the house next door one more time. Standing in the doorway, Jack paused for a moment. It was like crossing over into another dimension, a leap though space and time. The house was exactly as he remembered. Every step held memories. Every picture, every piece of furniture...Jack stopped suddenly. "What's wrong, Jack?" his Mom asked. "The box is gone," he said. "What box?" Mom asked. "There was a small gold box that he kept locked on top of his desk, I must have asked him a thousand times what was inside. All he'd ever tell me was 'the thing I value most,'" Jack said. It was gone. Everything about the house was exactly how Jack had remembered it, except for the box. He figured someone from the Belser family had taken it. "Now I'll never know what was so valuable to him," Jack said. "I better get some sleep. I have an early flight home, Mom." It had been about two weeks since Mr. Belser died. Returning home from work one day Jack discovered a note in his mailbox. "Signature required on package, no one at home. Please stop by the main post office within the next three days," the note read. Early the next day Jack retrieved the package. The small box was old and looked like it had been mailed a hundred years ago. The handwriting was difficult to read, but the return address caught his attention. "Mr. Harold Belser" it read. Jack took the box out to his car and ripped open the package. There inside was the gold box and an envelope. Jack's hands shook as he read the note inside. "Upon my death, please forward to this box and its contents to Jack Bennett. It's the thing I valued most in my life." A small key was taped to the letter. His heart racing, as tears filling his eyes, Jack carefully unlocked the box. There inside he found a beautiful gold pocket watch. Running his fingers slowly over the finely etched casing, he unlatched the cover. Inside he found these words engraved: "Jack, Thanks for your time! - Harold Belser." "The thing he valued...was... my time." Jack held the watch for a few minutes, then called his office and cleared his appointments for the next two days. "Why?" Janet, his assistant asked. "I need some time to spend with my son," he said. "Oh, by the way, Janet...thanks for your time!"
This is for you Momma Bear, Thanks for your time!

I will always remember Mrs. Anderson, "call me Verna," for her wonderful smile and kindness. She had a glow about her. And how whenever there was a get together, she was always making food and pitching in to help. It was so nice to have made her acquaintance as well as the rest of her family.
With sympathy,
Mildred "Auntie" Yost

I did not spend an abundance of time with Mrs. Anderson, but I could tell she was a very caring person. The first time I met her was at Shelly and Luther's wedding party. I thought Mrs. Anderson was Italian by the way she kept insisting I eat more food. I will never forget how nice she was. She was a very dear lady who welcomed all as family. I will keep all of her family and friends in my prayers. I know she is at peace with the Lord now and I am thankful for the time I could spend with her.

I was lucky enough to have met Aunty Verna a few years ago. I had always heard that she was a very kind and sweet person. When we met these characteristics were very evident in her demeanour and embrace. I know that she is happy now in heaven with our Holy Father. Our sincere condolences to your family from my mother Ruby and myself.

I did not know Mrs. Anderson for very long, nor did I know her very well. However, the few times I was in her company, I found her to be a person filled with warmth and kindness. My heart goes out to her family and all who did know her well, as I'm sure she will be greatly missed.
