"HOLD THAT MEMORY" To my daughter Carla Jo Oh, my Carla Jo, how I loved you so! Thank-you for always taking me everywhere with you! It helped me alot when I was feeling blue. Mom & I enjoyed going to Wilma's with you every spring! Hold on to those memories, cuz their everlasting. Thanks so much for the day's you picked up the slack for me at work. That Kathy was such a jerk! I want you to be happy, and not sad. Remember the great times we all had! You were such a good cook, and so good to me & your dad. You were one of the "BEST DAUGHTER'S" anyone could have! It's wonderful here in heaven I want cha to know. But, I understand that you weren't ready for me to go! Have no regrets, and go on with your life! Treasure your family, and be a good wife. I'm an Angel in the sky, and we'll all be together again when you all die. Thanks for putting your life "ON HOLD" for me & your dad. Don't forget all the times we had! Mike's a good guy, and the kid's are both so sweet. Having everyone together was always such a treat! Dying is a part of living which seems so UN-FAIR! But, once you've seen heaven, NOTHING can compare. I loved all 7 of my Beautiful CHILDREN! I always felt rich even when I had no money. That was because I had all of you honey. Your dad was my "SOULMATE". my very "BEST FREIND". I loved him with all of my heart til the end! I know it was a terrible shock the day I died! I too cried and cried. Keep me in your heart & prayers, and I promise you I'll always be there! Thank-you for walking me out to my garden with me "HAND IN HAND" right before I passed! "HOLD THAT MEMORY", and make it last. Luv u, mom 12-25-2005 Poem by: Marge Hillgartner Norma Doyle's niece
