I never got to meet you in this life, but anyone who can raise a family like yours ( that I truly love), volunteer to help sick children and put a smile on everyone's face, I'm saddened that I didn't meet you. So we'll meet in the next one. Rest In Peace sweet lady

The day you left my life fell apart
My heart never felt so much pain
The sky's came together and dropped slot of rain

All I know is I will never quite be the same again
Your the reason I became who I am
You held me in the palm of yor hand
You thought me right from wrong
But the day you left everything seemed to go wrong

I will hold you close in my memory and in my heart forever
Until my last tear drop falls

Now sleep with the angels
And let your heart rest
Although my heart is broken
I know god only takes the best

So Sind and dance with the angels
And go through the pearly gates
I'll see you while I'm sleeping and in my dreams

Although this pain is painful
And I really don't want to let you go
I'll wait till god takes me
So we can come together one day and glow

So until the day I close my eyes forever
And I see your smiling face
I'll lock you in my heart
Until our hands meet once again.

I love and miss you grandma

Aunt Betty was a beautiful person she always gave of herself unconditionally. Uncle Bob was the love of her life and he passed away many years ago, since his death she had wanted to be with him. God has granted her that wish. I am positive they are holding hands with Cricket right by their side, I am sure Uncle Bob was ready for that photo moment. Aunt Betty has completed all the aunt's and uncle's, all the York's together again.
Love and Peace to the Family and may God give you comfort while you struggle with her loss.
