What is a Grandmother
A grandmother is a remarkable woman.
She's a wonderful combination of
Warmth and kindness, laughter and love.
She overlooks our faults, encourages our dreams,
And praises our every success.
A grandmother has the wisdom of a teacher,
The sincerity of a true friend,
And the tenderness of a mother.
She's someone we admire, respect and love very much.
A grandmother will always have a cherished place
In our memories and in ours hearts.
She's someone for whom we want every happiness
In return for the joy she always brings.
A grandmother is all the dear and precious things in life
When she's a grandmother like you.
The Song you are hearing is Nearer My God To Thee
Grandma's kiss is filled with so much love
it can't ever be erased.
As you sleep she watches
Comfort in your rest
Her hands are softly touching
Appearance God's request
Knowing that you need Her
With wings she flew to you
Now she's there to comfort
God's Angel in your view
Feel her wings around you
In sleep you find great peace
The passion of your sorrow
This moment of release
Angel singing softly
Love's sweetest lullaby
Heart is now reviving
The gift of God on High
Sleep on through the sorrow
She takes away all pain
Tears of your tomorrow
Will somehow seem to wane
Awaken to the feeling
That you never are alone
Allow her now to enter
Your heart becomes her own.

Nearer, my God, to Thee, nearer to Thee!
E'en though it be a cross that leadeth me,
Still all my song shall be, nearer, my God, to Thee.
Nearer, my God, to Thee,
Nearer to Thee!
Though like the wanderer, the sun gone down,
Darkness be over me, my rest a stone.
Yet in my dreams I'd be nearer, my God to Thee.
There let the way appear, steps unto heav'n;
All that Thou sendest me, in mercy given;
Angels to beckon me nearer, my God, to Thee.
Then, with my waking thoughts bright with Thy praise,
Out of my stony griefs Bethel I'll raise;
So by my woes to be nearer, my God, to Thee.
Or, if on joyful wing cleaving the sky,
Sun, moon, and stars forgot, upward I'll fly,
Still all my song shall be, nearer, my God, to Thee.
There in my Father's home, safe and at rest,
There in my Savior's love, perfectly blest;
Age after age to be, nearer my God to Thee.

Soaring with the Angels Together Forever
Draw Closer to God
When the sun is shining brightly,
And our life is running smoothly.
We find it easy to smile and be pleased,
To praise and give thanks to God.
But when dark clouds begin to gather,
And our life looks grim and bleak.
We begin to grumble and complain,
And blame God when things go wrong.
It is when the clouds are the darkest,
That we should draw closer to God.
For he is the silver lining in every cloud,
The light in the center of our world.

"Life is not measured by the number
of breaths we take but by the moments
that take our breath away."
Michael David
and
Great Grandma
Koury
We all remember how Grandma would find four leaf clovers when no one else even saw clovers, I know you and Michael are surrounded by a field of clover in heaven Grandma!
Walking with Grandma
I like to walk with Grandma,
Her steps are short like mine.
She doesn't say "Now hurry up",
She always takes her time.
I like to walk with Grandma,
Her eyes see things like mine do,
Wee pebbles bright, a funny cloud,
half hidden drops of dew.
Most people have to hurry,
They do not stop to see,
I'm glad that God made Grandma
Unrushed and young like me!
We hope you know how much you are loved and missed by all of us....Each day that goes by brings us closer to being together again...There is no fear in death knowing that you and our precious Michael will be waiting for us in heaven...
This rose is to you Mom
with all my love always and forever....
Your Daughter,
Marlene
