This, by Lady Diannia Baty, reminded me of you today...
Here, now, your presence comes wafting in on the soft fragrance of perfume and the magic of your laughter,
I can hear as though you were right here.
Just the barest slight of touch from your hand that I loved so much.
If I whispered to you, I love you, would you hear my heart?
Even though we are apart?
I carry sweet memories of what you were to me.
There is only one thing I want to see...
Your face in front of me.
But that cannot be...
So I will caress the pictures and I will hold you in my dreams.
And when I am with you again I will be at peace...
I know you will be waiting there.
What stories we can share!
Will you be the one to show me what it is
to be pure spirit and to see God's face?
I miss you!
Save my place for me.
I still have things to do.
I look forward to that time,
when I can be with you.

| Dawna | You're Always With Me... Still | January 8, 2014 |

This was the song that was played at Mom's memorial:
Holes In the Floor of Heaven
Sung by Steve Wariner
One day shy of eight years old
My grandma passed away
I was a broken hearted little boy
Blowing out that birthday cake
And how I cried when the sky let go
With a cold and lonesome rain
Mama smiled said "Don't be sad child
Grandma's watching you today."
Cause there's holes in the floor of heaven
And her tears are pouring down
That's how you know she's watchin
Wishing she could be here now
And sometimes if you're lonely
Just remember she can se
There's holes in the floor of heaven and
She's watchin over you and me
Seasons come and seasons go
Nothin stays the same
I grew up, fell in love
Met a girl who took my name
Year by year we made a life
In this sleepy little town
I thought we'd grow old together
Lord I sure do miss her now
But there's holes in the floor of heaven
And her tears are pouring down
That's how I know she's watchin
Wishin she could be here now
And sometimes when I'm lonely
I remember she can see
There's holes in the floor of heaven
And she's watchin over you and me
Well my little girl's twenty-three
I walk her down the asile
It's a shame her mom can't be here now
To see her lovely smile
They throw the rice, I catch her eye
As the rain starts comin' down
She takes my hand says "Daddy don't be sad,
Cause I know Mama's watching now"
And there's holes in the floor of heaven
And her tears are pourin down
That's how you know she watching
Wishin she could be here now
And sometimes when I'm lonely
I remember she can see
Yes there's holes in the floor of heaven
And she's watchin over you and me
Watching over you and me
Watching over you and me
Watching over you and me

For 4 years she was my second mom. I believe she is where my "weezy" nickname came from. She was always the life of the party. She had one of those larger than life personalities. I know she will truly be missed.

She was truly a fine person that will always be a part of many lives. I will continue to share my pleasures and stressful times with her, as it is God,s that she is just away and one day we will all be together again. In the mean time I am praying that she has finally found peace from painful phyisical diabilities and limitations, rembering her pretty smile and the special time we shared together.

One of the greatest gifts that I received from Mom and Dad was a sense of humor. Together, they taught me that a person can get through anything, as long as he/she retains a sense of humor. Even when I was an overly serious, morose teen, they did things to make me laugh and keep me from taking life so seriously. All my best memories of my mom had to do with the moments that she was making me laugh.
There was one time, though... I can look back on it and laugh now, but at the time...
It was nearing Halloween... Mom and Dad had gotten a box of Halloween stuff from a family friend. We had been planning to do a haunted front yard, and the stuff was to be used toward that end. In the box, there was a mask, which we eventually used for our scarecrow. I hadn't seen it yet, and Mom thought she would show it to me. Only... she put it on, thinking she might startle me slightly. After which, we would both get a really good laugh out of it.
She startled me alright! She scared me so much that I ended up screaming, backing up against the wall so far that I nearly crawled up it! I think back on that now and can laugh my butt off over it, but at the time... I was so upset!
She was always doing things like that, trying to get a laugh out of me, and that's what I remember best about my mom... She was always quick to try to get a laugh out of people. She had a talent for it, it seems, and a lot of times... it was always just when someone needed it.
