  1. Cry, cry and cry…
    Tears are there to protect your heart.
    When tears finally run dry, your heart will be calm and quiet.
    Feeling clear inside,
    You will be left with the transpicuous sense of being blessed with life.
    So, look for beautiful things around you,
    And you will find a hope, a hope to move on.’

    We love and miss you Grandma.

  2. I’ve always had some very fond memories of my grandmother through the years. She was always a joy to be around, and if there was one thing I could always count on, it would have to be that she always had a smile on her face! She was a very giving, loving, and overall a wonderful person at all times. I will love and miss her very dearly and will never forget the smiles she’s given me throughout the years.

    I love you more, Grandma Gilmore!

  3. Dear Family: I haven’t seen you for many years, but I remember you all. Your mother was a very special woman, raising 8 great kids by herself. I have so many memories running through my head right now it’s hard to pick one. I remember that we all used to play board games together, hide and seek etc.. Pat and Mike- I think you guys cheated sometimes but I forgive you. Your mom was an amazing cook too! You were such an important part of my childhood and I have such good memories because of your family. Thank you, and blessings to your wonderful, amazing, funny, smart mother.

  5. If tears could build a stairway and memories were a lane,
    We would walk all the way to Heaven, to bring you home again
    No farewell words were spoken, no time to say good-bye
    You were gone before we knew it, and only God knows why
    Our hearts ache in sadness, and secret tears will flow,
    Why it was meant to lose you, no one will ever know.

    I Love You Grandma and I miss u so much. Your always going to be in my thoughts and prayers.

  6. My grandma was one of the most amazing people I have ever known. She was always smiling and had the most amazing laugh. She raised 8 children on her own and could make a penny stretch for a mile. I thank you grandma for giving me a family that I love so much and that loves me in return. I miss you immensely and I will love you always. Save me a spot….I will see you on the other side.
