Sympathy
Dear Pam, Carla and Shelly......Please know that you are and have been in our thoughts and prayers. Your Mom was a special person in our lives....both she and your Dad.
I loved your Mom not only for who she was, but the incredible life lessons she demonstrated and shared. Through the years we didn't see one another as much because of distance, but the friendship remained for which I am thankful. Joyce is now with her "Rit" and I'm sure there is joy and happiness being shared between the two. She was a great Mom and grandmother who loved her family. I will miss her as I'm sure you will........ but try to bring to mind the wonderful memories she left for you to cherish. I know I will. Keeping you in our prayers.
Love Bonnie, Jimell, Tonia and Jimmy Dickinson

If Roses Grow In Heaven
IN LOVING MEMORY
If Yellow Roses grow in Heaven. Lord please pick a bunch for me. Place them in my Aunt Joyce's arms, and tell her they're from me.
Tell her that I love her and I will miss her. When she turns to smile, place a kiss upon her cheek and hold her for a while.
Because remembering her is so easy. I wll do it each and every day! But Dear God there will always be a void within my heart.
That can never be filled and shall never go away.
With Love Forever And Always, Roban
