A little bit less of me!

May she rest in peace...


Julia M Burgess
Jun 21, 1926- Jan 6, 2010
I'd like the memory of me
to be a happy one,
I'd like to leave an afterglow
of smiles when life is done.
I'd like to leave an echo
whispering softly down the ways,
of happy times and laughing
times and bright sunny days.
I'd like the tears of those
who grieve, to dry before the sun.
Of happy memories that I  leave
when life is done.

I love you forever my beautiful Nanie
you will always be in my smile and laughter.
Love Always, your Krissy

Hey Little Boogs, Nanie is now our special angel. She will always watch over us and be in our hearts. She will be with us every step of the way to Julia, her namesake. She was remarkable, wasn't she! Love Mom

I'm sorry that my condolences are nearly a week late, my friend. This is the first chance I've had to check my bloglines.

Heartfelt sympathy and empathy for your loss.

I can see a lot of your granny in you. You favor her in your appearance and in heart.
