DeLayne, I am so sorry that you had to leave us. I am a breast cancer survivior of almost 8 years and I often wonder why so many others have died, yet I have been left here. I had an aunt named Donna who passed on just a few years ago from breast cancer and she was very special to me. I miss her giggle so much. She would light up a room when she entered it. She was a joy and a delight to everyone who knew her. I hope you and Aunt Donna have gotten to meet up there in Heaven. Give her my love, would ya? And keep some for yourself. Then send some down to our friend Alice.

A gift for you & Alice / Rosemary Friend Of Alice
Delayne, I am sending you these 2 beautiful roses. One for you and one for your friend Alice. I am so sorry you had to leave us but I know you are in a much better place than here. There's no pain and no tears in heaven. Please be close to your friend, Alice, she is hurting so much for you and her JR. You were lucky to have a friend like her. Send her comfort hugs from heaven Ok? And Happy Mothers Day to you and Alice. Rosemary Close
Don't grieve for me, for now I'm free! I'm following the path God laid for me. I took His hand when I heard him call, I turned my back and left it all.
I could not stay another day, To laugh, to love, to work or play.
Tasks left undone, must stay that way, I found peace at the close of day.
If my parting has left a void, Then fill it with remembered joy! A love shared, a laugh, a kiss, Ah yes! These things I too will miss.
Be not burdened with times of sorrow, I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow. My life's been full, I've savoured much Good friends, good times, a loved one's touch. Perhaps my time seemed all too brief, Don't lengthen it now with undue grief.
Lift up your heart and share with me, God wanted me now, he set me free
Heaven's gate swung gently open, The Master called softly, "Come," And you, dear one, took the Master's hand, And your work on earth was done. We'll never cease to miss you, And shed many silent tears, Because we cannot share with you Our hopes, our joys, our fears, But one day , in God's garden, When the Master calls us to come, you'll be at the gates with open arms And say to us, "Welcome Home."
NO MORE PAIN OR SUFFERING / ALICE WARDILL (BEST FREIND )
In tears I saw you sinking, I watched you fade away, You suffered much in silence, You fought so hard to stay, You faced your task with courage. Your spirt did not bend,and still you kept on fighting until the very end. God saw you getting tired. When a cure was not to be. So he put his arms around you and whispered " come to me." So when I saw you sleeping So peaceful, free from pain.I could not wish you back to suffer that again

FOUND THIS ON " OOFUN " / ALICE WARDILL (BEST FREIND )
REMEMBER THIS
If tomorrow starts without me, And I'm not there to see; If the sun should rise and find your eyes All filled with tears for me; I wish so much you wouldn't cry The way you did today, While thinking of the many things, We didn't get to say.
I Know how much you love me, As much as I love you, And each time you think of me, I Know you'll miss me too; But when tomorrow starts without me, Please try to understand, That an angel came and called my name, And took me by the hand, And said my place was ready, In heaven far above, And that I'd have to leave behind All those I dearly love.
But as I turned to walk away, A tear fell from my eye, For all my life, I'd always thought, I didn't want to die. I had so much to live for, So much yet to do, It seemed almost impossible, That I was leaving you.
I thought of all the yesterdays, The good ones and the bad, I thought of all the love we shared, And all the fun we had. If I could relive yesterday, Just even for a while, I'd say good-bye and kiss you And maybe see you smile.
But then I fully realized, That this could never be, For emptiness and memories, Would take the place of me. And when I thought of worldly things, I might miss come tomorrow, I thought of you and when I did, My heart was filled with sorrow. But when I walked through heaven's gates, I felt so much at home.
When GOD looked down and smiled at me, From His great golden throne, He said " This is eternity, And all I've promised you. " Today for life on earth is past, But here it starts anew. I promise no tomorrow, But today will always last, And since each day's the same way There is no longing for the past.
But you have been so faithful, So trusting and so true. Though there were times you did some things, You Knew you shouldn't do. But you have been forgiven, And now at last you are free. So won't you take my hand. And share my life with me?
So when tomorrow starts without me, Don't think we are far apart, For every time you think of me, I'm right here, in your heart.

August 15, 2005 I first met DeLayne whenTammie was pg with Teona. Seems like a lifetime ago. Seems like we've all been one family for so long. I remember DeLayne telling me that she always told each of her grandchildren that they were her favorite. And they each were! she loved them all so much! just remember, kids, nana's love will not go away. It's still in your hearts.
