My heart grieves with you guy’s … But unfortunately, we’re in this stage of life. I too, have so many fond memories of your parents and I know with All my heart, they’re now reunited. The memories will never be taken away, we will care them with us … Until we are reunited with them. I remember the early day’s like they where last week. ALL the family get together’s and single visits to each other’s home’s. So much fun and laughter. Time for our lives to just take a break from life and enjoy each other’s company. I love you all and miss you even more. Please … know I loved your Mom and Dad a great deal.

Not certain where to start. So many memories, stories, and much laughter. Our family has so many good and happy memories with her family. As I was reminded a few days ago, Lil was apart from the rest of us. There was Lil, the pretty one, as we lovingly referred to her, and then there was the rest of us. Another memory comes to mind, when my granddaughter, Aspen, about 3 at the time, pulled up a chair next to Lil, squeezed her cheeks and said “Oh Chubby Cheeks. You could have heard a pin drop in that room for a few seconds. Fortunately, Lil’s son and daughter burst into laughter to save the day.
I hope when Lil gets to the Gates of Heaven, she will be treated as well as she was here on earth by her entire loving family. They were amazing to their parents. I am also certain, Louie, her soul mate for 72 years will meet her at those Pearly Gates with his big smile and a bouquet of special dandelions he had picked for her.
Much love always. I know when we meet again it will be with smiles and much laughter.
We are apart but will never forget.

Much Love
Sister
Donna Little

With my deepest sympathy for your loss. Sending the whole family our thoughts and prayers. I know Louie will be there to take hand with Jesus. God bless you all.

Lil is my godmother and aunt. She made our flower girl dress for our wedding. She always has had a smile on her face a welcoming nature about her. We saw her in health and in sickness. We were able to share some private moments within the last year with her and for a brief moment her face lit up as she could. We hold her dear to our hearts and wish the family peaceful moments and cherished memories as life moves forward. Lil we love you. Kevin and Mary.
