This is my grandmother and the inspiration for GBNF. She passed away February 23, 2006. Losing her changed my life forever. I no longer have her in the natural but she will forever be in my heart. I wanted a place special for her somewhere I could remember her and talk to her (in a special way of course). I wanted to talk about her all the time, however, the people around me grew tired of me wanting to talk about her. I searched the internet for groups of other suffering people thinking that maybe meeting someone else who was hurting like me would help. There were a few but none like what I have planned for GBNF. That is why Gone But Not Forgotten was established. It is in her memory why this is so important to me.
This is her Obituary…

I shed a tear for you right now but i will not allow my self to cry because I know that is not what you would want from me…Im 39 now grandma and I still need you so much…I could of never have known that losing you would hurt so bad FOREVER!
Hard to believe it’s been five years, but it has. I miss you as much today as ever and the pain feels like it happened yesterday. I always think of you and sometimes the pain gets so great that I force my self to sometimes not think about you. Women you are my world I love you so much. Only Alzheimer could ever make me forget you. Through me you will always be remembered and loved.
wow Grandma almost 6 years…I am at a loss for words. I can not believe I haven’t seen you, talked to you. I remember your voice the way you called me angel. Grandma, …I just thought you would always be here.
Wow Grandma I can’t believe I have seen you or heard your voice in almost six years… It’s amazing because I still hear you calling me Angel. I felt you kiss me the other day…I really needed that. I miss you so much woman, it hurts so bad. It’s a pain I don’t feel will ever go away. I don’t know what to do. I’m tearing up as if you left me yestedrday…it’s been six years and they say it get’s better over time…I don’t know if I agree. It’s so many things I want to tell you and talk to you about. I wish me, you, mama and Tammy could sit around and laugh like we use too… It’s so hard to make things normal again. How do we as a family come together and do that. When you left somthing in us all just died. We have yet to recover. We know you passed on we were at the funeral but its like so crazy for us all I think we just thought you were going t be there forever. I honestly thought you would never leave me…us. You have missed so much you have great grand kids that will miss out on a wonderful person, but I will do my best to make sure that they always know of you and how much of a wonderful Grandma you were to me. I have to Grandson’s now and all the love I have for you I shower them with. They are my pride and joy. I now understand the love you had for us. You will forever be missed and I will always carry you in my mind and heart. My woman…Grandma I Love You so much! It really really hurts.
