Grandma
I know the angels have come to take you to the gardens of heaven itself. Where there is only peace, happiness and love all around you. I can't begin to tell you how much I will miss your smiles and laughter as you told me about endless stories of you and grandpa and taught me all I needed to grow. You were my inspiration for life and I loved you the moment you first held me and I have loved you ever since. You are FOREVER in my heart now and always. Rest in peace grandma.

Great Grandma I will truley miss our talks and your smiles although I didn't understand your words in Hungarian. I new you were telling me something funny by the look on your face. I wish I had more time to spend with you so you could teach me to understand. I love you and will miss you everyday.

Grandma, the calm and patient one of the family. The loved one who loved her coffee, sweets and her precious garden of flowers. The loved one who took more than just her own children into her home and helped us through our adolescent years. The loved one who always had her stories to tell about life back in her country. The loved one who had so much because she had so little back home in Hungary. The loved one who would always say let me see your ring or bracelet because she was so fond of jewelry. My grandma... it hurts sooo much to know and see what you have been through these past 3 months. Lord knows I wish you didn't have to go threw it having to see you cry each and every time we would leave visitation. But, I know that your resting in peace now singing with the angels in the fields with roses and beautiful flowers. You left a footprint in my heart.
If You Could See Me Now
If you could see me now you wouldn't shed a tear,
Though you may not understand why I'm no longer there.
Remember my spirit that is the real me because I'm still very much alive,
I've just been set free,
Oh, if you could only see!
I have beheld our Father's face and I've touched my Savior's Hand.
All of Heaven's angels rejoiced as I entered the promised Land.
Beyond the gates of pearl I've walked on the golden streets.
I've touched the walls of jasper and dipped my foot in the Crystal sea.
The beauty is beyond words and nothing could compare,
I've seen your mansion and someday I'll meet you there.
Let Jesus be your guide because his word will show you the way! So, please don't Cry because we will meet again someday.
Until we meet again grandma, I LOVE YOU!

Grandma ; I will miss you so much , it hurts to let you go and I will miss you forever. you have touched my heart in many ways and would always inspire me to stay in school. Although I'm saying bye now its more of a see you later. I remember when I would go to your house in the summer when I was younger and I would always have fun and looked at the beautiful flowers you had. I remember when you would make me the bread and cinnamon, I loved it! and I remember when ever I would get a new piercing you would call me over to you and make me show you and you were amazed of what we do now a days. And I was amazed of the stories you would tell us of the other side, Hungary. Ill be sure to visit it one day just for you. i love you <3

Grandma, I didn't know you as well as your other grandchildren, but you were the one who held me upon my birth. You shed tears that you had to let me go. The connection was there from the beginning. You knew and said we'd all meet again. You knew. When I met you 13 years ago, you had a twinkle in your eye and wonderful stories to tell me. You are a magical being. I was not fully aware how sick you were and even in the hospital for so long, but I am glad that your suffering is over. Knowing your spiritual presence is still here is comforting. I will see you again. You are home now... with God...with Jesus...with your family members that have passed...with the saints...other souls you've connected with in other lives (YOU know what I mean when I say this) ... We will all be coming home again someday and be once again reunited!!! Love and Peace
