Mom, You fought the good fight and are now resting in peace with Dad and Jimmy, whom you've longed to see again ... I can only imagine that special reunion. Thank you for all you gave me, especially your unconditional love. I will miss you dearly, but I know you are now in heaven and one of God's special angels. Your son, Billy

For once in my life I can't find the words to tell you how much I love you and how very much I am going to miss you. There was a hugh gap made in my heart the day you left and no one will ever be able to fill it. I guess God needed another angel! You were always there for me no matter what I messed up on. You never judged me and your arms were always opened wide no matter the time of day or night. I hope I make you proud. Save the job of doing your toes for me!! I can hear you now "Laurie don"t tell people you did my toes!" but you would have a smile on your face and laughter in your voice. Tell pop-pop, Uncle Jimmy, Uncle Kyle and everyone else that I still miss them dearly. I will meet you at the Golden Gates when my time comes. Until then mom-mom. I LOVE YOU!!!!

It's hard to say goodbye Her picture in my mind They'll always be of times I'll cherish And I won't cry 'cause She flew up to Heaven on the wings of angels By the clouds and stars and passed where no one sees And she walks with jesus and her loved ones waiting And I know she's smiling saying Don't worry 'bout me
Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.

I may not have known Mommom Sage as well as other have, but what I did know was the she was a kind and loving woman. A woman who was strong in her beliefs and loved her family. Mommom Sage was a remarkable woman and I hope that I am at least half the woman she ever was. Mommom Sage I love you and miss you dearly. Though you may not be here anymore, you will always be in my heart.
