In memory of a loving mother (in-law), nanny, great nan,
Jean (Winnie) Carr-Braint,
September 17, 1925 – March 11, 2004
Your tenderness and loving ways
Still get us through the lonely days
The picture carries in our mind
With love that stands the test of time
You helped us find our walking shoes
And taught us lessons we still use
Each time we think of you we smile
We know we’ll see you after a while.
Love and miss you!!
Carol, Harry, Betty, Billy, MJ, Marilyn, Mike, Tracey & families.
Mom (Iva Brant),
Three years have come and gone
And this day still comes with great sadness.
It feels like yesterday that we were sitting at the kitchen table having coffee.
There isn't a day that goes by without us thinking about you or talking to you.
We don't need to look at your picture to remember you,
All we have to do is close our eyes and there you are.
Mom, there are so many things that have happened in our lives
That we would have loved to share with you.
When we talk about you, we laugh, we cry and we share with our kids and our kid's kids the
things you taught us.
Our family is very grateful to the Creator for allowing us to have you as long as we did.
We all miss you very much each and every day and we love you more than you will ever
know.
Love and miss you, forever in our hearts.
In Memoriam
Lauren Gray
Dec. 2, 1955– Mar. 18, 2014
No one knows how much we miss you,
No one knows the bitter pain.
We have suffered since we lost you,
Life has never been the same.
In our hearts your memory lingers,
Sweetly, tender, fond and true.
There is not a day, dear Sister,
That we do not think of you.
Love, Todd and Janet, Kelsey and Derek
