In Loving Memory of Margaret Governale
April 19, 1921- October 9, 2009
 
Those we hold most dear
never truly leave us,
they live on
in the kindness they showed,
the comfort they shared,
and the love
they brought into our lives
 
Grandma I miss you more with each passing day,
I will always love you...Jo-Anne
 
Loving words spoken by her daughter Jennie Saulter
that she felt her Mother would want to say to everyone...
 
When tomorrow starts without me, and I'm not there to see,
If the sun should rise and find your eyes all filled with tears for me.
I wish so much you wouldn't cry, the way you did today,
While thinking of the many things, we didn't get to say.
I know how much you love me, as much as I love you,
And each time that you think of me, I know you'll miss me too.
 
But when tomorrow starts without me, please try to understand,
That an angel came and called my name, and took me by the hand,
And said my place was ready, in heaven far above,
And that I'd have to leave behind, all those I dearly love.
 
But as I turned to walk away, a tear fell from my eye,
For all my life, I'd always thought, I didn't want to die.
I had so much to live for, so much yet left to do,
It seemed almost impossible, that I was leaving you.
 
I thought of all the yesterdays, the good ones and the bad,
I thought of all the love we shared, and all the fun we had.
If I could relive yesterday, just even for a while,
I'd say good bye and kiss you, and maybe see you smile.
 
But then I fully realized, that this could never be,
For emptiness and memories, would take the place of me.
And when I thought of worldly things, I might miss come tomorrow,
I thought of you, and when I did, my heart was filled with sorrow.
 
But when I walked through heaven's gate, I felt so much at home,
When God looked down and smiled at me, from His great golden throne.
He said, "This is eternity, and all I've promised you,
Today your life on earth is past, but here life starts anew.
I promise no tomorrow, but today will always last,
And since each day's the same way, there's no longing for the past.
 
You have been so faithful, so trusting and so true,
Though there were times you did some things,
you knew you shouldn't do.
But you have been forgiven, and now at last you're free,
So won't you come and take my hand and
share your life with me."
 
So when tomorrow starts without me, don't think we're far apart,
For every time you think of me, I'm right here in your heart.
 
And on a personal note, Jennie added...
"My angel you see, is like no other,
She was God's gift to me...she was my Mother."
 
Church Reading
done by her loving Grandchildren
Jeanine & Jo-Anne
 
A truly good wife is the most precious treasure a man can find,
She is strong and graceful, as well as cheerful about the future.
Her words are sensible and her advice is thoughtful.
She takes good care of her family and is never lazy.
Her children praise her, and with great pride her husband says,
"There are many good women, but you are the best!"
 
Charm may be deceiving and beauty fades away,
but a woman who honors the Lord deserves to be praised.
Show her respect- praise her in public for what she had done...
 
The Word of the Lord
 
 
Love Lives On
Those we love remain with us
for love itself lives on, and
cherished memories never fade
because a loved one's gone...
 
Those we love can never be
more than a thought apart, for as
long as there is memory , they'll
live on in the heart.
