A wife a mother a grandma and friend
A wife to a man who loved her to no end
A mother to five daughters, strong willed just like mom
A grandmother to twelve, all of six girls and all of six boys
A friend to us all, you've touched our hearts in a very deep way
And now unto Jesus your name He has called
Unselfish we yield, with pain in our hearts, tears in our hands
Now we bid thee farewell with our kisses and love
Knowing one day we'll see you above
Our hearts remain broken from this void left behind
Yet God's peace and His comfort bring healing with time
Though it was hard to see you so frail in your last days
With your last breath released, God set you free
Knowing these truths, in comfort we take
You are healed and home with Jesus, a much better place
We will always love you and cherish our memories of you
Sharon Pyle, wife mother grandma and friend
We will always miss you

I hate that I missed you when I came back in ’06. I always tried to make it a point to stop by whenever I cruised through Napa. Now I guess I’ve got to wait until I see my Dad before I will see you again. You raised a strong family, they will continue with what you have started. John will keep busy with the grandkids so don’t worry about them. Watch your family from above and be proud of your work.
Your family will always be in our prayers
John, Kim, Ashleigh and Taylor "

There are no words that can explain the huge sense of loss that I feel over having you gone. You are and will forever be my rock, my mentor, my everything.
Because of your love, your discipline, and your mentoring, I am the woman that I am today. I am so grateful to you.
Words cannot express what a beautiful and amazing human being, woman, mom, wife, aunt, grandma, and friend that you were to all of us. I love you so much!
While my heart aches for you and I am still sobbing a lot, I really am relieved that your suffering is over. No more pain, tears, or any negatives for you Momma.
You are, and will forever be, my "Pretty Momma." I will NOT say goodbye to you as my faith in Jesus is carrying me through this difficult time and I know that I will see you again someday.
I am thankful that I was able to get home in time to be with you during your last hours because I sure didn't know if we'd get there in time and I prayed all the way home that I would.
All I wanted was to be able to hold your hand and tell you that I love you, and I did. When you took your final breath, I told you that I loved you because I wanted your soul to hear those words as you left us. You know how much I love you.
Mom, I will love you forever. I know that you are with me always and that's my comfort.
Love, Tina. "

I will never forget your charm, wit, sarcasm, and spunk. You had times you were tough as nails, and then you'd turn around and make sure we had everything we'd ever need. You raised us to be strong and independent. I can only hope I do the same for my children.
I loved how you and I would have contests to see who could gross who out first, and how you would usually win. I loved how you would sing "tell me a story" as you were rocking me, even as an adult you would hold me and rock me. I continue to hold my daughter and rock with her while singing that same song. And our camping trips, who could ever top those. Camping will never be the same without you mom but, when I go I will look to the sky, smile and say "Hi pretty Momma lookee what we're doing".
I remember growing up and hearing my friends tell me, "wow your mom is tough, I'm glad she's your mom". Guess what Momma, I am too. I'm thankful for every day I had with you, and everyday that you are with God. I know you are up there smiling down.
Don't worry about Daddy, we are taking good care of him. We will continue to be a family with the traditions that you have laid out for us, because that is what you would want. Together Daddy, Jeanette, Tina and I will make it. We all deeply love you.
You will never know the impact you had on my life, and although I won't say goodbye, I will say I love you and I love you. "

I love you Grandma. You meant and still do mean a lot to me. You were truly loved by many and I will never forget you.
You were and still are my BFF, my hero, my pepsi drinking buddy, and my #1 grandma.
Thank you grandma for all of the good food, the terrific BBQ's, the birthday celebrations, the Fourth of July celebrations, camping trips, overnight memories, and everything else that you did for us.
You will never be forgotten, Grandma. We all love you. I love you so much.
Love always,
