Tributes
To my dear husband
“Im Still With You”
When you miss me, know I’m with you in spirit, still loving you and caring for you. When you’re grieving, I’m beside you, in your heart, in your thoughts, sending you much love, encouragement, affection and the strength to carry on with life. Celebrate the life I lived and all the things I gave you. Your wonderful memories of me are all the things that will comfort you and give you peace. Please think of me as I think of you with a heart so full of love.
Eternally yours, Janice
“A Tribute to My Wife”
God saw you were getting weary. So He did what He thought was best. He came and stood beside your bed and whispered, “Come and rest.” The weary hours, the days of pain, the sleepless nights are passed now; From every present grief and sorrow you have found “Sweet Rest at Last”. You bid no one a last farewell, not even a goodbye, but in a blink of an eye you were gone before I knew it and only God knows why. I thank God your soul is resting, I thank God you were blessed. I thank God I had you to love me, I thank God he knows what’s best. I love you very dearly, but God loves you best. Now sleep in sweet peace JANICE, take your rest.
Eternally Yours, Aldrick

“Tears of Joy”
Author unknown “Every minute someone leaves this world behind. We are all in the “the line” without knowing it. We never know how many people are before us. We cannot move to the back of the line. We cannot step out of the line. We cannot avoid the line. So, while we wait in the line… Make moments count. Make priorities. Make the time. Make your gifts known. Make a nobody feel like a somebody. Make your voice heard. Make the small things big. Make someone smile. Make the change. Make love. Make up. Make peace. Make sure to tell your people they are loved. Make sure to have no regrets. Make sure you are ready.” Love, The Walker Family
In Loving Memory On Your Birthday Sister I cried when it happened And still do everyday My world was totally shattered The day you went away Little reminders lay around The photographs remain I talk about the old days That bring you back again I know that you’re with Jesus now And happy in his care If we could just this once Call and see you there Just to wish you Happy Birthday And I’d hug you for a while Oh oh! The joy once again To see your lovely smile
I Love you, Loretta
A Fallen Limb
A limb has fallen from the family tree. I keep hearing a voice that says, “Grieve not for me. Remember the best times, the laughter, the song. The good life I lived while I was strong. Continue my heritage, I’m counting on you. Keep smiling and surely the sun will shine through. My mind is at ease, my soul is at rest. Remembering all, how I truly was blessed. Continue traditions, no matter how small. Go on with your life, don’t worry about falls. I miss you all dearly, so keep up your chin. Until the day comes we’re together again.” We love and will miss you, Mom
