Memorials

--Art Breathat, June 5, 2003, Brother and Uncle. Jimmy Davis, Nov 16, 2004, Hubby, Step Dad and Step Grandpa. Gerald Breathat, June 8, 2006, Dad, Grandpa and Great Grandpa.
We planted the pansies again this year; yellow for you, Art, purple for my Jimmy and added white this year for you, Dad. Our simple tribute to the yesterdays we all enjoyed. They say that memories are the windows to our past. The view from here, although terribly lonely at times, is wonderfully filled with all the little fragments of our lives together. So many things- a flock of geese overhead, a good fishing story, a beautiful doe and her fawn, the flight of a hummingbird, the laughter and joy of all the kids, grandkids and great grandkids all together, the passing of a big rig traveling to destinations unknown, and yes, even following a slow moving vehicle, all bring a little smile to our hearts. I close my eyes and imagine the three of you sharing a drink and a joke or two over a good game of cards. I know you're watching over us- I feel it everyday. Just wanted to let you know we all love you and miss you very much and always will -Forever and a day! XXOO Peggy and Family XXOO

DAVIS--In loving memory of our daughter, mother, sister and aunt Mary Ann who was taken away from us so suddenly on November 27, 2005.
This month brings back the joy of your birth and the sorrow of your death.
All we have now are memories of you to hold so dearly in our hearts.
With shaking hands, we wipe away our tears.
You are missed.

DAVIS--In loving memory of our granddaughter and niece who was taken from us so tragically on November. 27, 2005.
Silently we grieve
And brush away our tears.
The memories she left behind
Will last throughout the years.
Unseen, unheard, but ever near,
Still loved, still missed, and ever so dear.
Loved and sadly missed by Grandpa and Grandma, uncles Rick, Don, Kevin, Bill and Aunt Ofelia.

DAVIS--In memory of Maryann Davis.
Someone so near, but yet so far.
Here, but yet gone.
See you all the time, but it is not you.
You have taught so much to us.
From us to you, we miss you.
Love you, and happy birthday.
Love from us all, Natalie, Carl, Austin, Chelsea and Brandon.

The blow was great
The shock severe.
Don't think the hurt
Will ever heal.
Forever missed and loved by Grandpa and Grandma.
