"To all my family i am sorry i couldn't be there but i am there in spirit ... To my Grandma you have taught me so much and have helped raise me and you was always there with your arms wide open when i had my troubles and needed shelter...You are and was a very strong woman and i deeply admired that about you =) there was so many times when i wished i could of been a very strong person like you was...Now you are in peace you can rest in comfort i love you so very much Grandma and i miss you ...Her is a poem i have found and it has touched me deeply.. GONE AWAY An Angel whispered take my hand and come with me you're work here is done. I went away to a place where there's no tears, nor sorrow only laughter and smiles, there will always be a Tomorrow. As I move amongst the clouds. I'll look down and smile upon you, while the angels sing a heavenly song. I am not alone all who went before are here they awaited my return. I know you'll grieve and wish I was still here I am here in the memories you hold dear. Remember how much I love you and know I took your love with me. I did not wish for you to cry, nor feel sad. My pain is gone and I am Free! Soon you'll come to me until then God will be with you Just as He's with me. I love you Grandma Lamb Deborah Kay Schroter"
