A Grandmother’s Love

Ricki Stahl enjoying the beauty and wonder of the Au Sable River near her home in Grayling, Michigan. Ricki loved to fish and she loved this spot on the river.

I just wanted to say thank you to everyone who has emailed or left comments on this blog about my mother’s passing. All your kind words, memories and sympathies have been helpful in dealing with the empty feeling we have now that she is gone. My daughter Krystin composed a very lovely poem in honor of her “Gramma” and I thought I would share it with you. Grandmothers truly are special people.  God Bless Grandmothers everywhere!

REST IN PEACE GRAMMA STAHL

Gramma you are missed with all our love

But we know you’re safe up above

You’re at peace with no pain

You are free with all to gain

We know your in heaven where everything’s right

With your family and loved ones in the sparkly light

Say hi to Grandpa, Uncle Craig, and Babe your golden retriever too

We know they are so happy to see and be with you

You’ve fulfilled your life by giving it your all

We thank you for all the memories; big and small

Because you were one of a kind Gramma Stahl

Your life was always full of loving deeds

Forever thoughtful of our special needs

All the arts and crafts, cooking, and games we’d play

Seashell cups, homemade apple treats, or dress-up dolls during the day

Thank you for your son, he’s the greatest Dad and Grandpa, I must say

Today and tomorrow, our whole life through

We will always love and cherish you

So rest in peace and open your wings wide

For we will be together again on the other side!

Krystin Stahl
