My fondest memory of my Mom is all of them I love you for loving me Jay
My Mother is by far the greatest person I've had the pleasure of meeting. Even though I didn't show it She's my inspiration wish I could've said so.
Nine years and one day since you went home. Gone but not forgotten and forever in our hearts. It still hurts but a lot of the hurt has been replaced with laughter and smiles when I think of you. I Love You Mom... ~Tonie
Mom this gets no easier as time passes. This life has done a job on me. I miss you so much. I never got the chance to tell you that I love you and thank you for not letting me drown in this mess that I've made of my life. I love you( Jay)
Love you and miss you... Tonie
Mom, still missing you and love... Tonie
WHEN LIFE STARTS WITHOUT ME
When tomorrow starts without me, and I’m not there to see;
If the sun should rise and find your eyes all filled with tears for me;
I wish so much you wouldn’t cry the way you did today,
While thinking of the many things we didn’t get to say.
I know how much you love me, as much as I love you,
And each time you think of me I know you will miss me too;
But as I turned to walk away, a tear fell from my eye,
For all my life, I’d always thought I didn’t want to die.
I thought of all the yesterdays, the good ones and the bad,
I thought of all the love we shared and all the fun we had.
If I could relive yesterday, I thought for just awhile,
I’d say goodbye and kiss you all and maybe see you smile.
But then, I fully realized that this could never be,
For emptiness and memories would take the place of me.
And when I thought of worldly things that I’d miss come tomorrow,
I thought of you all, and when I did, my heart was filled with sorrow.
But when I walked through heaven’s gate, I felt so much at home.
When God looked down and smiled at me, from His great golden throne, He said, “Dolores, this is eternity and all I’ve promised you.”
“Today for life on what is past but here it starts anew.”
“I promise no tomorrow, but today will always last,
And since each day’s the same day, there's no longing for the past.”
So when tomorrow starts without me, don’t think we’re far apart,
For every time you think of me, I’m right there in your heart.
To live in hearts we leave behind is not to die.

Still missing you , Love You Your Sister Janet
Dolores was our boss, mentor and friend in Memphis from 2007 to 2010. She served us well as our Chief Nurse and kept in contact with us long after she left. We were lucky to know her and we loved her very much. Dolores was so professional and always poised and elegant. She could be so funny and quick witted. She was a great leader for us and many of us remember her and will miss her greatly. Blessings to her family at this time of loss.
