We love you grandma! Thank you for all the support and love you have always given me and Elliotte in the short time that you knew him. Your faith has been an inspiration and your sense of humor has always kept you going. We will miss you, but know that you are always watching over us.
Peace and love for a dear wife, mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother. Anne O’Donnell was blessed with faith, family, wit,grace, fortitude, and unique recall of events and stories of her life’s experiences. She had a strong constitution, which was the underpinnings of raising her children to know how to ‘love’, know how to accept ‘differences and diversity’. I an certain she would want her family to set aside day-to-day matters which seem to be significant, and rise-above the same, to a higher calling of love, caring, and mutual respect. We will miss her, always love her, and may she rest in peace. She touched us all, and ours lives are better for her time on this earth. Her loving and kindred sprit will be her legacy to eveyone. Peace & Love. Don & Stephen Herring 3.28.08
If tears could build a stairway And memories were a lane, I would walk right up to heaven To bring you home again. No farewell words were spoken. No time to say good-bye. You were gone before I knew it, And only God knows why. My heart still aches in sadness And secret tears still flow. What it meant to lose you, No one will ever know.
