This is dedicated to the memory of those who have so touched my life, their memory will be mine until the day I go to meet them.

"Memories"

It seems like only yesterday, we laughed, we talked, shared and played. Then one day you had to go away. I cried so hard, for you could not be here, Oh how very much I wanted you near.

I hold your face in my memories and all the things you have meant to me. I still hear your voice, see your smile, feel all your hugs, still feel the warmth of all your love.

So until we can be together again, I'll hang on to the memories, and smile as I think of what they mean to me. So I shall not ever say goodbye, I'll only tell you, Goodnight.! Goodnight my sweet dear loved ones.

" Your flame shall ever burn bright in my heart"

"Tears In Heaven"

Would you know my name
If I saw you in heaven
Will it be the same
If I saw you in heaven
I must be strong, and carry on
Cause I know I don't belong
Here in heaven

Would you hold my hand
If I saw you in heaven
Would you help me stand
If I saw you in heaven
I'll find my way, through night and day
Cause I know I just can't stay
Here in heaven

Time can bring you down
Time can bend your knee
Time can break your heart
Have you begging please
Begging please

(instrumental)

Beyond the door
There's peace I'm sure.
And I know there'll be no more...
Tears in heaven

Would you know my name
If I saw you in heaven
Will it be the same
If I saw you in heaven
I must be strong, and carry on
Cause I know I don't belong
Here in heaven

Cause I know I don't belong
Here in heaven

Patricia Ann Mink
March 8th 1931- March 8th, 1999
Forever shall you be missed!

My Momma was a wonderful woman who was not just a Mom but a best friend, someone to relay on to confide in and who was always there for you. She suffered so much in the past six years that when God took her home to be with Him it was a joy as well as a sorrow for I lost my best friend but he gained a wonderful woman to be there in His holy place. Momma was my mentor, she helped me so much with my music and book as I worked toward my goal as a career, my greatest sorrow is that she will not be here to hear the first album that is now out, but I know she'll hear it in heaven and be proud of me as I have always been so proud of her as my Momma. No one could have asked for anyone better than her, she was always there for me and never let me down, she made me think things through and taught me so much, she was a Christian lady who believed that God would always be there for you and never forsake you,she told me just hours before she died that she was ready for God to take her home and that she knew someday she would see me again, but to remember that she would always see me and be watching over me as I walked the rest of my life without her... thank you Momma for being the best Momma a girl could ever asked for and for always loving me no matter what I did and for always standing beside me.. I shall always miss you, always love you and will see you again someday, and know your arms will be open wide for me ...... with all my heart and love forever and always,
Lola

This is my grandmother Murray (Lola Mae) whom I was named after only my middle name is Yvonne. May 1900 to April 1984....

My son Matthew was a beautiful little boy that was taken from me at the age of three years eleven months... in that time he taught me so much, his suffering was great but still he kept a beautiful peace about him.In his short few years he taught me to be patient, more tolerant, more caring of others who have suffered....this was His gift to me. I had always hoped it would be different, that it was a nightmare and I would wake up... only it wasn't it was real and I had to face it... I was granted this darling little angel for just a moment in time but know I will have him for eternity in heaven.

This picture brings back alot of memories, my brother Mark adored me and I was the old toughie... Now I know you can guess which one is me.... or at least I hope you do *smile*.....
