I wish Heaven had a phone so I could hear your voice again.. I thought of you today, but that is nothing new. I thought about you yesterday, and days before that too. I think of you in silence, I often speak your name. All i have are memories and a picture in a frame. Your memory is a keepsake, from which i'll never pa...rt. God has you in his arms.. I have you in my heart.

I met you when you came to work at Roche over 20 years ago. On your first day there, I realized that you were a very special person. Working with you, I always looked forward to your wonderful smile, sense of humor and your never-ending caring and generous spirit. I will miss you greatly and you will always hold a very special place in my heart. God be with you.

Within my book of memories
are special thoughts of you
and all the evidence of glorious things
which, because of you, came true.
As I turn back the pages of memories
and recall each single thought,
I realize the happiness and pleasure
that knowing you has brought.
There are memories of the times
we’ve shared both bright and gloomy days
there are memories of your kindness
and your friendly, thoughtful ways.
There are memories of your laughter,
your gay and cheery smile
that added a bright note to each of us
and made life more worthwhile.
There are memories of the things
we planned each friendly little chat,
when we would get together
and just talk of this and that.
And when I recall these memories
as I move along life’s way
they grow more precious and blessed
with every passing day.

There are no words that can expess how much you will be missed. You were a young and vibrant woman who was loved by all whose lives you touched. You were a devoted wife, sister, and daughter who was the heart of your family. You will be loved and remembered forever. I'm sure you will always be watching over them and they will feel your presence.
