A Week In Heaven She hugs and kisses her loved ones at Heaven’s gate, Then shares with them the joy of her new found fate. She goes on and on about the ones she left behind, It’s going to take a while, because she was Grandma to all mankind. Now God bestows the heavenly rewards upon her head, As always, she shares them with others instead. She now receives the deed to her new heavenly mansion, To make room for all of us, she’s already planning the expansion. Heaven’s newest garden is now in bloom, She started working on it, as soon as she left that room. Not being able to work in the soil now for some time, I am sure her smile is brighter than summer’s sunshine. So Grandma wished for all to understand, That God is the key to the eternal land. If you choose Him before it’s too late, Grandma will meet you at Heaven’s gate.

Mom mom, you treated me as your own and welcomed not only myself but, everyone who asked for help or a shoulder to lean on. I am glad to have met you and have your impact on my life. Watch down on your family and friends and continue to guide them in their endeavors. You will be missed but not forgotten. Thank you for all that you have done and provided to everyone. Love always, Aubrie
Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.

John, Frankie, Tommy, and Kim, I am so sorry to hear about your mom. When we all lived on Kalmia and Alibone, she was always there, and she treated the kids that came through her house the same, with love, and discipline when we needed it, like my mom and every other mom in that neighborhood. Please know that you are all in my thoughts and prayers. Ruthie Tayson.

Mom Mom has always been the rock of the family. She was always there when anyone needed her, and would welcome anyone into the family from the time that she met them. Her smile was contagious. She loved her family more than life itself. I know that she went peacefully and that we will all miss her dearly. I know that she is happy. She has been reunited with pop, ross, Donny, and nancy. She will be watching over all of us and keeping us in line, She is too stubborn not to lol. We love you mom mom and you will be greatly missed.
