Anna Grace BatsonIn loving memory of our Mother. My you be at rest and without pain.

I visited the cemetery
As I often sometimes do
I gazed upon the headstone
and said a prayer or two.

I placed a wreath upon her grave
Where my moms body lay
I shed my tears and spoke of love
Then slowly walked away

I don’t kmow why, but I turned back
And I saw an awesome sight
through the majestic tree above her grave
I saw a radiant light

So struck by it’s beauty
And the bending of shadowed boughs
My heart was filled with joy
And my spirit was aroused.

It’s as if mom was giving me a message
And suddenly I realized
Her home is still within my heart
And no one ever really dies

There come a time one must leave this earth
But they are never far away
And they hear our every thought and word
When we go to them to pray.

My thought began to turn to times long ago
As I smiled and moved forward
Still feeling the lights glow
I felt the light go with me

Mom had sent me a message
On this wonderful day
Upon the radio was playing
As the day turned into night
Don’t worry, just be happy
and you know, She was right.

Norma Rydell Anderson


~ For Norma ~
So few people, walk this earth who have love in their hearts and room in their hearts to celebrate other’s happiness and good fortune. Norma, you always gave yourself to those who needed you and you found compassion and humor to give to those around you who were troubled — even if it was just for a fleeting moment. You laughed and you savored each moment spent in the company of others. You helped others less fortunate to achieve self fulfillment. You never stopped learning, and you never stopped teaching. Norma, you created a garden. One of love, that is bountiful with beautiful colors. Norma’s tremendous garden of love and in the end when when we all have to take off our mask, you found out that you weren’t wearing one, and You didn’t need a mirror to see the beautiful truth and you ended up with the face you deserved… May God be with you always. I will miss you for as long as I live. Jane

Tulips for Tracy & may God richly bless your family. Your memorial is so touching. …such a strong, courageous lady who gave so much love. And you’re right, now she’s making her mark on heaven. Hugs to your family. p.s. to family – this will be difficult to believe, but I was reading memorials because I lost my mom in Dec., 2000. I was sooo touched by Tracy’s mom’s words and by her struggle & strength, because my mother too led a difficult life and spent her life giving to & and loving others. Anyway, I was boo hooing after reading your story and then realized that Tracy was from Paris, that her maiden name was Renfro & that she has a sister named Becky. I think I went to school with Becky, if she graduated in ’85. I also spent time with Becky and her little sister helping w/ Becky’s paper route. …Small world. If it’s the same Becky, pls. have her email me @ tonja.carlson@cdxgas.com. My heart goes out to you.

Tracy,
What an inspiration you have been for those who knew you and also for others like me who did not know you personally but read your story and receive a reminder of God’s grace in our lives. May you dwell in his light forever.

Christina, as I read the monument in your honor, I can feel the love you left in the world. I hope I am as lucky as you to have so many feel such love. I am sorry for the pain you and your family had to endure during your illness. I am sure you are a beautiful angel with glittering white wings and I picture you helping others with similar illnesses leave this world for a better place. You will lead them well. God Bless you and I know you are watching out for your babies and will watch them grow with much pride though you are not on this physical earth. Say hello to my father, he’s a tall man with beautiful eyes and a huge heart that left me too soon in my life at age 7. This monument is a beautiful way for you to be remembered and for your children to read once they are old enough to understand. I send to you a dozen yellow roses as they were also my father’s favorite flowers. With love and prayers, Marilyn Keen

Today I leave flowers for Tracy…I leave tulips of every color of the rainbow, because she loved them…And I leave Gardenias, because I do, for their wonderful fragrance and the symbol of love they have for me…from a childhood memory. I also leave a note for her and perhaps for myself as well, tucked among the flowers so that it just barely shows among all of the fragrant colors… It says… “To My Daughter… The sweetest memories I have in this world… Are ones I have of my little girl… Those things in my heart can never disappear… Somehow my memories just keep you here… You are everything I ever… Wanted you to be…. And you mean so much to your family and me… I wish the world had the memories I do… Sweet memories of a daughter… Just like you… Mama”
