This page is lovingly dedicated to the most wonderful
lady in my life- my Gram. This morning, December 4,1997, I received the dreaded
phone call to "come quickly". I couldn't believe it, as just yesterday,
I was celebrating my 38th birthday. I prayed the whole way there that
God wouldn't let her go "alone." As I walked into her room, I realized her time was here.
I gathered her up into my arms, and told her how much
I loved her and asked her to be my "Guardian Angel"
up in Heaven as she had been for me here on Earth. A tear
rolled down her cheek as she drew her final breath.
For then, I knew she went "home".

My Gram has finally found "Peace" after 4 long years of battling
Alzheimer's Disease and strokes. God will rejoice today as his best "Angel"
is finally home. For those family and friends who are battling this wicked
disease.....there is hope. That one day your loved ones will go on and
leave you with wonderful memories like my Gram left myself and
children. There is the hope that one day they will find
a cure for this disease so no one ever has to suffer this way in their lifetime.

Thank you Gram for giving me Love, Kindness, and a "Guardian Angel"
here on earth. You will forever be in my heart and I
know you now have "peace". You left during your favorite holiday season,
and as I release your white balloons today, I celebrate your victory over Alzheimer's
battle. There will be no more pain, just the fondest of memories
to linger on. I love you now and forever- Michele
