Karrie Okerman Tribute

Hi, Karrie:

Just a quick message to let you know you are in my thoughts and prayers daily - wish I could pick up the phone and it would be you on the other end. Someday we will be together again. I would have loved to tease you about becoming a Grandma before me.

Sleep in heavenly peace - love always!
Auntie Mary

On February 7th 2012 your grandson Jaxon James Okerman was brought into this world at 8lbs 2oz 21inches at 12:54am! I can only imagin what you were saying when I was in labor and all the hell I put you through when you were having me! Every day I am reminded of how much I miss you so much! Your grandson is absolutely perfect and I wish you were here to see him grow you would have been he worlds greatest grandma! Ha to think you would have been called a grandma and to a BOY ;-) ! I miss you so much mom I feel as the years go on it gets harder and harder ! I talk to you almost every night and I hope you can hear me ! I just want to hug you and tell you I love you one more time but when it's my time I will be able to until then I miss you so much mom more then words could ever describe !!! love your daughter

I'm thinking about you and can't believe that it was forty years ago today that you came into my life. We had our good times and our bad times but I always loved you dearly (and still do). Wish you were here so we could give you a lot of grief about being an old lady. Someday we will celebrate together again in heaven. Missing you every day. Love you, mom

It doesn't seem to get easier each and every day !! I wish you could be here when I found out i was pregnant! You would be so proud of all the challenges I have gone through and all the obstacles to bring me to who I am today and I Thank god every day for having the worlds greatest guardian angel there is not a day that doesn't go by that I don't think about you!! I miss you so much and my heart still has a missing spot that will never be replaced until me and you meet again! So many days I wish I could just have the one last hug the one last time smelling your perfume and watch you getting ready an how beautiful you are! I hope you know I love you so much and you would have been the worlds greatest grandma ever! I can't wait to tell him or her about you! I miss you so much mom It still isn't real! I hope you are having a good time up there watching us down here ! I love you mom <3

If tears could build a stairway
and thoughts a memory lane
I'd walk right up to heaven
and 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's still active in sadness
And secret tears still flow
What it meant to lose you
No one can ever know.
But now I know you want us
To mourn for you no more
To remember all the happy times
Life still has much in store.

Since you'll never be forgotten
I pledge to you today
A hallowed place within my heart
Is where you'll always stay.

God knows why, with chilling touch,
Death gathers those we love so much,
And what now seems so strange and dim,
Will all be clear, when we meet Him.

I miss you still each and every day my sis! May you always watch down upon us and see how much we love you!
Your lil sis Jaci
