Eight years time moves quickly. I thought it was seven a figured you got a good laugh out of it. Let’s see divorcing, moving, teaching. Kayla graduating three times. Master degree in Biology. Many things you missed but you have a much better vantage point so I guess you already know. Tell Grandpa Lovey hello we miss him too. I always leave a penny for him each time I visit heads up so I know who will take it with him. Love yah bunches.

One year ago today a double rainbow shined in the sky as we wished goodbye. You are missed.

You prepared the way

Rest in peace and know your memory will live on through all you have touched. You are loved.

Grandma Lovey. Things to remember...She could play the piano by ear and beautifully...she raised five children....she lived a long life exactly how she wanted...she would give the shirt off her back...supper was always on time...she got up with the chickens (note to the rooster it is your job to be on time from now on) she slept with her legs propped up and her eyes open (no sneaking past grandma for so much as a midnight pee)...oldies in an LTD...the little women she drew over and over (the one with the Lucy updo and Bob Hopes nose)....Grandpas glasses cause she didn't need any....Little Red Riding hood, The Three Little Pigs and Goldie Locks....favorite color blue...big Jackie Kennedy sunglasses even indoors...a memory a mile long she forgot nothing....and we will not forget you.

Grandma,

I miss you, seeing you everyday, sharing my day at school,visiting with you, reading books together,making art projects together, watching tv. I think about you often, wishing I could turn the hands of time back. I may be young, but all the memories I do have, I will cherish and keep in my heart forever. "I love you", may you rest in peace.

I have so many childhood memories of you grandma. I had so much fun with you as a little girl. You were a wonderful grandma to me and I am grateful. I have peace knowing that you are no longer in pain. I am so glad that you are reunited with my favorite grandpa after all of these years, what a joyous reunion. This is not the end. I look forward to seeing you someday on the other side when we have perfect bodies and no worries. I love you grandma. And I am so grateful my boys were able to meet you and you were able to see their smiling faces. We will treasure those memories and pictures forever.

Mom,

I too, am so lost and alone without you. My daily routine was so much centered around you, my mornings, coming to visit while you drank coffee, the phone calls asking where I was at, are no more. My troubled times you comforted me, and told me not to worry, always put my mind at ease. The memories are so many, they will never be forgotten, but will stay in my heart forever. My heart is so filled with sadness, that I have found a poem that says it all:

Grandma, a beautiful, caring, loving, encouraging, generous, woman. You were there for me on many occasions, through life's ups and Downs. When I was lost, you'd give me words of encouragement, when things were joyous you were there to celebrate with me. When ..I had my heart surgeries, and was scared, you were there beside me, holding my hand, comforting me. Every, holiday I looked forward to heading to "grandma's ". When I was younger, you made sure I got to school, no matter the wheather. Right now, my heart is hurting beyond belief, but I know that over time, with your help from above, that hurt, will ease someday. Even though you are no longer here, you will forever be in my heart and prayers. "I love you".

Mom, I will especially treasure the memories of living at home on Sheridan Ave. The holidays and birthdays celebrated. How proud you were to dress us kids up on Easter morning, go to Mass and then go to Amana Colonies for dinner. The huge snowman that was built by us kids one winter and then put in the Press Citizen with Ray, Jr holding Suzie (our little rat terrier) for all to see. The effort you put in having a clean home and always a home cooked meal put on the table right at 4:30 pm. I am so glad to know that I was with you on your last birthday((January 26th) and the last day of you life. Take good care of Daddy as I know that God is taking care of you. I love you forever. Always, Marlene

Stephen and Sharon, I'm so sorry for your loss. She was a sweet lady and will be missed greatly.

I am so lost & alone without you here. My heart has a big empty spot, that will never go away. There are so many memories, from my childhood to present, that I will cherish forever. I know in my heart, that there will be a guardian angel, looking down upon me. May you rest in peace.

My grandma was the best grandma ever even though she made me and others angry at times in life she still was a great grandma. I had really fun times with her like going to petland to play with animals and going to the park to feed ducks. She would also drive my brother austin and I to school every day,take me shopping,and take my sister angel and I to mcdonalds to eat. My grandma and I had a lot in common. We both loved animals, being outside to breathe the fresh air,playing hangman and I spy, watching movies and t.v. the other thing we had in common was our stubbornnes. I wish I could have seen her before she passed away to tell her how much I regret all the things I said and did to her when we got into arguements. I know I shouldn't have said those things that I didn't mean when I was upset and took it out on the complete wrong person. I just want to tell her that I am deepley and truly sorry. I love you with all my heart. I wish she was still here so I could do all those fun things with her over againand take back all the bad things. Even though we will all miss her and be stressed out. We should all stay happyand positive. Even though it is really hard to do this. Remember she is out of her pain, misery, and stressful life. She is gone from us because god took her for a good reason. He knew it was her time to go. Although we will all still miss her, her memories will stay with us. She is where she belongs in life now with her sister and she will be happy there. Thanks for listening and I love you all

Marguerite was a very nice lady. I enjoyed blowing her snow in the winter. She will be greatly missed. You are all in my prayer's..

Love you Mom.

RIP- Marguerite, I have not seen you in a few years but your memory will stay with me forever. You were a very loving person and your granddaughter loved you very much! I am glad I got to spend my teenage years with you and Stephanie. Stephanie you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.

God bless you and your family,

Kelly (Mayfield) Ward-Butters

My mother Nancy Squier thought the world of her aunt Marguerite and her family, and told us many endearing stories about growing up with them in her childhood. My sympathies to all of Marguerite's family. My thoughts are with you.

RIP Great Grandma
