Its me again...i have a poem, i would like to share:
_________________________________________________
I am not gone, I am changed.
Have faith and please believe me.
God did not take me away from you,
He split the skies and received me.
Now....
I'm an echo in your laughter,
a reflection in your tears,
an extra thread of strength
to help you overcome your fears.
I'm an added ray of sunshine,
more joy for you to share,
a fragrance of the life you live.
Wherever you are - I am there.

Dear Family,
I am very sad about Moo Moo, she was like family to me. Like a Grandmother I never had. I'm gonna miss her as much as you all will. We use to talk on her porch many of times. She had a great sense of humor. I wish I could have done something to help, but it looked like everyone had it under control. She was very lucky to have family like you all. Everyone was with her when she needed and wanted everyone. She is in a better place now, beyond what we can see. You did beyond a perfect job staying day and night with her.I want everyone to know that I love each and every one of you.

Much Love,
Nick Curry

Dear, Robert,Mickey and Debbie, You have our deepest sympathy's on the loss of your mother. I also will miss her as she was a very dear friend to me. We had so much fun playing Bingo and just chatting. Some nights she would call me at 11.00 or 12.00 p.m and we would chat for an hour or so. We were both night people and stayed up half the night. I know she was so proud of all you children and it was hard on you the last few months to watch her getting worse each day. I am proud of all of you, for being there for her when she needed you the most. God Bless each of you.

Dear Debbie,

I'm sitting here in awe.... Ellen just called... and wondering why God chose the last 3 months to cloud my vision with emergency surgery and extensive recooperation. I am so sorry that Mildred has gone away from here, my heart is so overflowing with sympathy for you and your family. Please know, I share in your grief, and pray that Moo is happy now, as I know she and Jerry are smiling down on their wonderful kids! Never doubt that y'all were their pillars of life! And never, never doubt, that she has touched more lives than you will ever know! May God bless
