Grandma,

I love you very much and I will miss you each and everyday. You will always be in my heart. I will never forget all the times that we spent together. When I was little you would hold my hand,and take me everywhere. You would never let me down. You have influenced my life in so many ways. You had a way of making any problem right.I will always be your biggest fan. Though, I no longer have you to hold my hand,I will always remember you in my heart. You have served as a perfect role model in my life and I will always be grateful. I love you and will never forget you. I am sad that you are gone, but I know you are in better place with GOD and Papa. Please be my guardian angel and watch over me. I love you!

To the Rowley Clan,

We were all so sorry to learn of Aunt Eileen's death on Saturday. Please know that she remains in our hearts and minds as the feistiest of those feisty Campbells and as one who had an infectious laugh and a good heart.

Brothers, we do not want you to be ignorant about those who fall asleep, or to grieve like the rest of men, who have no hope. We believe that Jesus died and rose again and so we believe that God will bring with Jesus those who have fallen asleep in him. (1 Thessalonians 4:13-14)
