+5Thank you for the gift of love,
now you’re sharing it up above.
You had many things to say.
All in a caring way.
You always saw good in everyone,
No matter what they’ve done.
You were always the one we could all lean on.
Even though it must have felt like a ton.
You were always the strength of the family.
Now we must let you rest calmly.
As we say goodbye,
as tears roll down our eyes.
I know your place in heaven has a good view.
Because you’re telling God,
I need to keep an eye on a few.
I know you will always be in our hearts and mind.
So Grandma,
I must go, but I’ll never forget you’re one of a kind.

+2Its only been a few minutes but seems like an eternity to me. I miss my Grandma Flossie already and I wish she had stayed here with me.
Its only been a few hours but a million tears I have shed. I long to hear her voice say my name and hold my hand as she always had.
Its only been a few days but my heart aches so bad. I know she would say …PLease don’t be so sad.
Its only been a few weeks but I still sit and wonder if she knew I was there and how much I really cared.
Its only been a few months but I still wonder why? Why Grandma didn’t you wait for me to say I love you and Goodbye?
Its only been a few years but I still smile and sometimes cry when I think about the 36 years Grandma McMillan and I shared.

+2 Through all the good times we had
She never said I was bad
I will always remember her style
And best I will never forget her smile
Gwen was my Grama
She was nothing more
She was my whole world,
I wish I could have followed her
Through that sacred door
When she was sick
I stayed by her side
I couldn’t begin to show her love,
Even with my arms open wide
I waited with her and cried
But I wasn’t there
That night she died
I was having fun
That’s what she wanted
Her time was done.
Grama is watching over me
She will always be in my mind
I know I can’t wait to see her again
She WILL know when it is time

0I know this day will come
Where I will have to say Good Bye
I sometimes wish it will never come
But you have to let go and say always
be in my heart with love till I die
If you may knock on the door before I
Please say Good Bye my sunshine and
I will always love you in a
matter of mind
For if I may see the light before
you
I wrote this a day ahead to let
you know how much you mean
So please read and understand
before you let go of my hand
Thank you for your help
When I was sad
And need of a smile
Cause I was mad
For all the people you are
around your spirit stays
in there heart
The unloved can’t forget your beautiful
Smile
Thank you for standing right beside me
and helping me through my troubles
Not leading me so I may follow or
walking in a back of me so I may not
learn
But as we know nothing last forever
we have to say Goodbye
So I appreciate the leadership and I
will never forget the memories of
friendship that we have
I will always love you and remember
your caring love
The one thing that will hurt me and
stay till the day I pass is to say
Good Bye
Don’t worry I’ll open the gate to heaven
and see your smile once again
Always remember a Good Bye is not
FOREVER.

0 Grandma, I was thinking of you today and a smile tickled my face.
Remembering all the things you taught me, like always to say grace.
I remember sitting in your lap while you read the Bible out loud,
To hear me sing a gospel song made you so proud.
I thought of those Saturday mornings I watched them fix your hair,
I remember crossing the street and hearing GIRL YOU BETTER STOP RIGHT THERE!!!
I remember the goodness you instilled in me though’ sometimes it doesn’t show,
You played a very special part in my life and I thought that you should know….
My childhood is filled with memories of you that you couldn’t buy with all the gold in the world,
And even though’ I am all grown up, at heart I will always be GRANDMA’S LIL’ GIRL!!!

0 A baby cradled in your arms…
Teaching me your gentle charms.
Growing up with you by my side…
Learning from you never to lie.
To understand and not judge too…
Love and kindness I also learned from you.
Through the years you watched me grow…
Teaching me everything I’d need to know.
Listening to every word I’ve said…
And every word I’ve wrote you’ve read.
You’ve been there for me to the end…
Until the day for you, God did send.
Now you watch me from up above…
Shining down on me your heavenly love.
I will miss you with all my heart…
Thank you for being there from the start.

0 Grandma I wonder
where you keep your wings.
Are they hung in your closet
with the rest of your things?
Do you put them away
and just use them at night
or give them to Rosie
to polish up bright.
I know you have wings,
for this must be true,
’cause God always gives
them to Angels just like you.
