Well, as usual, I am late in writing this. As you always knew and understood, taking care of a family isn't always easy. I thank God every day for bringing me into this amazing family that I have - headed by you. I am so thankful that you had a chance to see my beautiful family one last time. Marc Sr. the love of MY lifeor Marc with a "c" as you would call him, Emmalee, Ashlee and especially the newest member, Marc Jr. You never made me feel guilty for not being able to see you as much as I wanted to. Somehow you knew how hard it was. When I think about my life with you, I seem to always come back to those Saturdays where Mom, you and I would go shopping. I know you especially enjoyed when I would eat grape or watermelon bubble gum and breathe anywhere near you. As silly as that sounds, it's a nice memory of my childhood. It was just us girls and those days will always remain special. Actually, I have continued that "tradition" with Mom and my daughters. I'll always remember driving you crazy telling you that my birthday was coming at least 2 months before. Everytime I saw you or talked to you, I would remind you. You would pretend to be annoyed, but I knew you loved it. Up until the moment you had to leave us, I still reminded you and anyone else that would listen that I was your only Granddaughter. That drove everybody crazy too. But, I didn't do it to annoy. I was and still am so thankful and proud to have been your only Granddaughter and I hope that I mean even half as much to my children and Lord willing, eventually grandchildren. The only thing that makes you leaving us bearable is that I know you have been reunited with the love of your life, Grandpa. Please know that I promise you this.. I will forever and always strive to be a good Mother like my Mother, Wife, Daughter, Sister and Friend to my family and friends and make you proud. I will always carry this sadness in losing you, but happiness in knowing that you are finally at peace and with the one you love. Go in peace my beautiful Grandmother and know that those who loved you will never forget you and that we know we have an angel to watch over us. I love you Gram.
Love, Melissa, Marc Sr., Emmalee, Ashlee and Marc, Jr.

Now the formalities have ended. The prayers have been said, the hymns sung and the goodbyes spoken. Now we're faced with the sad reality that we'll never see you again, never share laughter with you, never tell you how much we love you. Knowing that you've gone to a far better place to be reunited with the love of your live makes the hurt a little easier to handle.
The strength we saw in you will give us the courage to get through the months and years ahead. We will always carry you in our hearts - your loving, caring ways brought comfort to us through rough times and showed us how we should live our lives. We love you and will miss you more than words can say. You and Dad can look down on the family you created with pride - your integrity and ability to love has been passed on to your children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. All of us are who we are because of you. We all got together and shared our memories of you. The final tally shows that you touched the lives of many people in a positive way and made our lives that much better. Thank you for the gift of you.

My condolences to Merrilee, Audie, Steve, Melissa & family.
I especially enjoyed being "Gramma's" hairdresser for many years. She never complained even when I somehow managed to get her feet wet:
I always called Doris "Gramma" as I was not fortunate enough to have one of my very own.
She is a very special person.
Knowing she will now be able to continue her life with her Husband Jay is comforting to us all...

Ma, as I called her, always found it difficult to understand the fact that people would find her interesting or that people cared for her deeply. She was a person who always let you know where she stood on any issue whether you wanted to know or not. I think that her total honesty was one of the reason most people loved her.
She has given me many things but I think that the most valuable was her unconditional love. Because of her unconditional love for me I have been able to understand God's love for me. I have been able to walk through life as a better person because she made real to me a love that most people can only read about.
Growing up in a family that had a loving Mother, Father and sister I know that I am a very fortunate man. As I look back at my childhood and at what many children have today, I know that I have been very blessed by God with the family that I had. I think that it is important to point out that Ma was the main source of the love that surrounded our family. Not that Dad did not love us but he came from a different generation when fathers, as general rule, did not show as much affection openly as we do today.
Today as I count the many blessings that God has given me: A loving wife who is my best friend, sons whom I love more than I could ever truly express, Daughters-in-law that I love as daughters and grandchildren that fill my heart with such joy and love. I have to give credit to Ma and her love that thrugh God's hand made all of this possible.
I love you Ma. Thanks for always being there for me.

A light has gone out of my life that has been shining for as long as I can remember. You taught me love, laughter, respect, decency and courage. I've passed those traits on to my own 2 kids. I know that you're now with the love of your life, my Dad Jay. I'll miss our times together - you've been my friend, my confidante and the one who always listened and gave advice or kept silent. I am who I am because of you - thank you for all the love you gave me. I will miss you always. Now God has you and you're home with Dad - I can draw much comfort from that.
Your loving daughter,
Mer

For my entire life, my Grandmother has been there for me. Gram was not just a grandmother to me. She was a best friend to me. I always took the time to learn about the times of her life as she took the time to keep up with my life. I had an advantage because for all of my times she was there to guide me with her experience and more importantly her love.
I always learned from her. Even as we both knew her life was coming to an end. We openly talked about was happening to her and what it meant to us and how we felt about each other. It was the biggest lesson she ever taught me. I never saw her shed a tear or complain about the hand that she was dealt. She left it in God?s hands and accepted her fate. Gram said, ?Nobody lives forever?.
Moreover she gave great joy to those around her. As she could no longer physically take care of herself, she depended more and more on the kindness of strangers. These strangers were paid professionals that could have easily treated her as just another patient. But, they didn?t for two reasons. One, they were just good people that keep the human factor in their work, and two, she simply made them laugh and smile. She was never afraid to say what was on her mind, and she had this way of sizing people up. She could tell who she should tip-toe around and who she could give the business. The more they gave it back the more she dished it out. Spirited. Full of life. Fun. That was Gram right to the end.
It took most of her life for her to understand why people were drawn to her. She was always guarded about letting people in. She?d been hurt before and never did let it happen again. She?s leaving behind a family of strong people who know about respect, honesty and especially love.
Now that she?s gone to spend eternity with the love of her life, my Grandpa Jay, life will never be whole for me. But with me for the rest of my days will be her love and the memories. I will teach what I was taught and hope to someday leave this Earth with the same dignity. As she left this world, I held her and repeated the only word that I thought could sum up her being. Love.

I will always remember you sitting at our dining room table during a family event and the great humor you had. You always made us laugh. I will always treasure the first time I met you when Steve and I first began dating. He took me out to lunch with you and you made me feel instantly comfortable. I was grateful for that. You are partially responsible for the terrific man Steve is today. Watching how much you and Jay loved each other has made him a geat husband and father. I hope you are with the love of your life and you are happy. My life has been richer in knowing someone like you. Until we meet again may God hold you in the palm of his hand.
Love your grand-daughter in-law,
Cheryl
