ACa DeaMoer A call you heard Dear Mother, You answered not in vain; Another journey you have started, Some peaceful shore you have gained. While by your bed we have lingered, Kind deeds you did in numbers, Kind words you breathed in songs; You have toiled this day so faithful To right some others wrong. You've gone from us Dear Mother, To a land of peace and rest; You'll never be forgotten- But we know God loved you best~ An angel hovered near; Tis death, he whispered, But you must not fear.

One hand to dry your eyes, When you would shed a tear The other hand to bring the gifts For your birthday every year. Two ears to hear your dreams, Imagination to inspire, To help you reach your highest hopes, Your wishes and desire.

One arm to rock you softly, As you slumber into sleep. The other arm to hold you close When troubles become deep.

Two strong legs to walk you through, Those paths where you might stumble, A cheerful heart of encouragement, To be strong and keep humble. One lap to sat you in, To sing to you a song. A knee to bounce you up and down, But not for very long’ One foot to step before you, During times to help you grow. One foot to step back gracefully, When it’s time to let you go. When you put these things together, It may soon become apparent, What you have is love and blessings, Of one totally awesome grandparent.

Brenda loved and doted on her grandchildren and created special names for each of them; Sanyel “Tuna Babe”, Emanuel “Man-Man”, and Madison “Granny’s Little Cha-Cha”

To me, you are an angel in disguise. Full of intuition, you are intelligent and wise. Always giving and helping through good times and bad. You are the best friend I've ever had. If I had one wish, it would surely be To give you as much as you've given to me. Though I've put our relationship through some cloudy days, You've been my sunshine in so many ways. Through trials and tests, right by me you stood, And you gave me your hand whenever you could. Thank you so much, my sister, my friend. My gratitude for you has no end
