My heart is shattered into a million pieces. There’s no bandage for this wound. It’s cut wide open with hurt, sadness, anger, and deepest loss. I’ve ever felt. I have never known grief like I do right now. I prayed for you to come back but it was no use. You are my soul mate, my lifetime lover best friend and everything is gone. Gloria my beloved the smallest things make me think of you. Like your beautiful smile. Things like photos, memories, food we shared and things that we discussed in private. They’re all hurtful but beautiful remembering. Gloria I will miss the many things about you like when we met at 19 and 20 and been married 56 wonderful blissful years. My beloved wife this is not goodbye but see you later my love. I know I will see you again in Heaven .

If Tears Could Build A Stairway. If tears could build a stairway And memories were a lane,We would walk right up to heaven And bring you bacK again. No farewell were spoken, No time to say good bye,You were gone before we knew it And only God knows why. Our hearts still ache in sadness, And secret tears still flow; What it meant to lose you No one will ever know. But now we how you want us To mourn for you no more,To remember all the happy times Life still has much in store. Since you'll never he forgotten. We pledge to you today; A place within our heartIs where you' if always stay.

Granny how I’m supposed to go on without you, I know your no longer suffering, but now I am, My life will never be the same and I don’t know how I’m supposed to go on without you here, God broke the mold when he made you, I’m forever grateful and thankful I was blessed to call you granny, thank you for everything and I won’t say goodbye but see you later

Glory in Gloria my granny The definition of the word glory ◦ high renown or honor won by notable achievements. ◦ magnificence or great beauty. ◦ take great pride or pleasure in. The name you was giving couldn’t have been more of a perfect name for you. You worked the post office many many years until you retired that is most definitely a notable achievement. The magnificence of your beauty inside and out from that smile to the way you could make anybody forget that they was even having a bad day. just by being in your Grace. And the pride that you had in calling me your grandson and supporting not just me but anybody with whatever it was they were pursuing in life you took pleasure in always letting us know to let go and let god and pray to him just talk to him and let him know what’s on our hearts. Not a day will go by where I won’t think of all the great memories we had together from sitting up watching WNBA games or watching the cowboys play. Listening to old stories you and pawpaw would tell us about how it was back in the day or just laughing over the phone over something crazy you done told me Covi done did. This pain hurts so bad but the memories we have and knowing your not suffering anymore, you’re in a better place, and that make me feel a little better.. I love you so much granny and I know you’re up there watching over us and proud of me

Thank you for all the cuddles Kisses and treats And spoiling us so much With all my favorite sweets, we love it when we see you And all the things we do You're such a lovely GG And we really do love you. We know when we’re feeling sad You are always there. To hold us in your arms And show us that you care Thanks for all you do for us and treating us like a stars, and we’re so very happy, To have you as our Great Grandma

Pecious

Memories

Messag o Gatitude During these trying hours, the presence of friends, family, and loved ones have been one our sustaining elements. Your prayers have increased our faith. Your words have encouraged our sad hearts. Your presence has given us a arm to lean on. Your food has helped us to maintain our strength, the fragrance of flowers, the gifts, the thought of every card, the visits and the phone calls added a touch of beauty to a setting that was full of gloom and because of you the burden that seemed so heavy is lighter now. And a special thanks to the most supportive and loving sister - n - laws, Bobbie Pearl Brenham and Doris Love .
