and gave each day your absolute best

I know I had the greatest man, and I was truly blessed

Love, Your Wife Theresa

To My Dearest Grand B

You have added fun laughter and stability in our lives. I have always

had a supportive grandmother when you came along that support

doubled. What immeasurable joy you have brought for us all. My

rides to work and school as a teenager and all our chats are still

appreciated. Often, I remember asking you "Grand B, did you miss

me?!" Your reply every time ,

"I missed you like I miss bumping my

head against a brick wall!" That one-of-a-kind sense of humor; It is one

of the many things that make you so special. Well, my friend I am

proud of you. You have graduated from your earthly body and have

claimed your honorary spot in the clouds. Knowing you has

been nothing less than a true pleasure Grand B it has been an honor

Love your Granddaughter Shantell

Dear Grand B

God has really blessed you.

I am sad that you have passed away,

but I am happy for you!

There is no more pain in your body.

God has blessed all of us so well.

I am happy for the good times we had.

I liked Christmas and Birthdays with you

and riding on your walker too!

Love your Great Grand-daughter Princess Bijour

Remembering Our Father

The beauty of a memory is that it's always there

Like a penny in your pocket, you can take it anywhere.

And when your heart is heavy and your eyes are filled with tears,

You can focus on a memory, and travel through the years.

Your heart can visit happy times, when laughter filled the air,

And the presence of your loved one, will lesson your despair.

So, as you travel on in life, take comfort as you go,

In a lifetime of "sweet memories" of one who loved you so.

Sincerely, The Powell Family
