Without fail, you kept filling and guiding our hearts ‘til Heaven had beckoned for our Angel’s depart. While on your new journey, 'cross HIS heavenly skies you'll see what we're missing, reflecting our eyes. We'll cherish the ribbons you've wrapped 'round our hearts and reflect on your footprints, to light up the dark. Left with the memories, we laugh, cry and sing and celebrate your heart as you're spreading your wings. So, know you are with us . . . the heart always keeps . . . your Love carries on . . . and Angels never sleep. With All Of Our Love ~ ~ ~ ~Missing You~ My heart aches, you are not here, Just these past days, not having you near… Leaves me empty, sad, with a void in my heart, Weeping, burning, unable to start; I miss you so much, words cannot say, Continuous thoughts, of you every day; My heart eases, abating the pain, Knowing someday, I will see you again, Oh how I love you, and I always will, Never forget you, ‘til my heart is still… Your Youngest Daughter, Tracy James ~My Grandma~ My Grandma was the most loving person in the whole world. She was so sweet to people and generous to me. We enjoyed having tea parties with cookies and lighting pumpkins on Halloween. When we played games, we chuckled and played happily together. These cherished moments were a special gift from God. My Grandma was a special gift to me. I’ll always love you! Your Granddaughter, Tess Adelynn Reyes
