There will be no memorial service at Chic’s request.
A private family celebration of her
life to be held at a later date.
I have only slipped away into the next room.
I am I, and you are you,
Whatever we were to each other, that we are still.
Call me by the old familiar name.
Speak of me in the easy way which you always used.
Put no difference into your tone.
Wear no forced air of solemnity or sorrow.
Laugh as we always laughed
At the little jokes that we enjoyed together
Play, smile, think of me, pray for me.
Let my name be ever the household word that it always was.
Let it be spoken without an effort,
Without the ghost of a shadow upon it.
Life means all that it ever meant.
It is the same as it ever was.
There is absolute and unbroken continuity.
What is this death but a negligible accident?
Why should I be out of mind because I am
out of sight?
I am but waiting for you,
For an interval,
Somewhere very near,
Just round the corner.
All is well.
-Henry Scott Holland

My sweet Grams! I will miss our times; our tea parties, our chats, all of our wonderful moments together. there weren’t enough. I know you are shining down on me from heaven, you will be holding my hand through it all. You are my ‘electric’ grandma and will live forever in my heart and memory. I love you. -Karly
Remembering Chic will always bring a smile to my face. A very kind and genital soul. I will always think of her with fondness and goodness she showed my mother Audrey and and us kids.

Dearest Auntie Chic,
Thank you for being such a loving and fun auntie. You always have spoken warm, caring and encouraging words to me. You have been deeply interested in each member of our large family, rejoicing in our happy times and sympathizing with us in our times of tears. You have been a wonderful example of a loving faithful mother through “thick and thin”.
You have given me many interesting, sometimes surprising, insights into our family history. You have a wonderful sense of humor. Laughter is a good medicine and you have dispensed it freely. I can’t count the times I’ve had a good bellyache from laughing with you. Thank you for all the fun stories, especially about Papa(Virgil). Smile!
I will miss you very much while I’m waiting for Heaven but I’m so glad you will be one of the ones who will welcome me. Until then, I hope I can bring some of the joy to others that you have brought to me.
With deepest love and appreciation,
Ronee
Sweet Auntie Chic,
You were always so welcoming to all of us Leamer kids and we hold many fun & happy memories of each of our visits with you. You are greatly missed and remembrance of your goodness has left an imprint on our hearts… for a lifetime.
My heartfelt sympathy to the entire family for their great loss.
Sister, We love and miss You-see you soon, Ron & Donna
I will forever Cherish the day that we All first met last July. I have this poem for the whole family. “May I Go” May I go now? Do you think the time is right? May I say Goodbye to endless lonely nights? I’ve lived my life and done my best, an example tried to be. So can I take that step beyond and set my spirit free? I didn’t want to go at first. I fought with all my might. But something seems to draw me now to a warm and loving light. I want to go, I really do. It’s difficult to stay. But I will try as best I can to live just one more day. To give you time to care for me and share your love and tears. I’ll be not far, I promise that, and hope you’ll always know, that my spirit will be close to you, where ever you may go. thank you for loving me. You know that I LOVED YOU TOO. That’s why it’s hard to say goodbye and end this life with you. So, Hold me now just one more time, and let me hear you say, Because you care so much for me, you’ll let me go today. With Love Always,
Alicia and Son Warren.
Happy Birthday Mom! I miss you so much! In the words of one of my favorite songs, One more day, one more time, one more sunset maybe I’d be satisfyed. But then again I know what it would do…Leave me wishin still for one more day with you.
If only, Love, Nan

Hi sweet grams,
I’ve just been missing you. I wish that you could see this preggo belly that has your precious great ganddaughter inside. I know you would be tickled to see me like this. I know that you have something to do with her being a girl, and for that I thank you. It will be precious, we will have gramma chicken tea parties and will be sure to save you a place everytime. I can’t wait to share all of my stories and memories of you with her. She will know what a great and wonderful woman you were. love you gramma.

Hi Mama, I so wish you were here now to help me through this. I am still missing you so much and now my Jerry is gone too. Will you watch out for him, Mom? You know He fought so hard to beat the cancer but it took him anyway. I feel so empty inside. First my Mama and now my husband, both in less than a year! It is almost too much to bear! But I know that God won’t give us more than we can handle and He knows me better than I know myself so I put my heart in His hands. Take care of my Love, Mama, I’m sure he misses me as much as I miss him. I love you too. As ever, Nan

Hi Mama, It’s Mother’s Day tomorrow and I miss you so much it hurts. Cheri and I sent flowers to you, I know you would love them! I know you are telling me to knock it off and get on with things. You always told me not to carry on grieving and stuff but to remember the good things about you. But you were such a presence here that it is hard not to be sad that you are gone. I love you, Mama. Happy Mother’s Day. Love, Nan
Mama, It’s been 1 year ago today that you got sick. I remember it like it was yesterday. We spent time together early that day and I remember wishing you didn’t have an appointment that afternoon so we could go play some more. But we made plans to get together again some other time.We will have to wait till we meet again now. I miss you so much. I can’t believe it has been a whole year without you already! It feels like a million. Love you so, Nan
Hi Mama, I just wanted to tell you that my grandaughter was born healthy, strong and beautiful! I know you know that though, there’s no way she could have come into our lives right at the right moment when we needed her most without you having a hand in it! And God, He is so awesome! Karly is a wonderful mother, just like you always said she’d be. We miss you, Mama. You should be HERE for this! I know you are but you know what I mean! You would be so proud. Hug Jerry for me, Mom, We miss you both so much and love you more. Loves, Nan
