This memorial website was created in the memory of our loved one, Nettie J. Campbell who was born in Louisiana on April 18, 1934 and passed away on November 24, 2006 at the age of 72. We will remember her forever.

 Heaven's gate swung gently open,
The Master called softly, "Come,"
And you, dear one, took the Master's hand,
And your work on earth was done.
We'll never cease to miss you,
And shed many silent tears,
Because we cannot share with you
Our hopes, our joys, our fears.
But one day, in God's garden,
When the Master calls us to come.
You'll be at the gates with open arms
And say to us, "Welcome Home!"

If Roses grow in Heaven,

Lord please pick a bunch for me,

Place them in my Mother's arms

And tell her they're from me.



Tell her I love her and miss her,

And when she turns to smile,

Place a kiss upon her cheek

And hold her for awhile.

Because remembering her is easy,

I do it every day,

But there's an ache within my heart

That will never go away.

Our mother is always with us. She's the whisper of the leaves as we walk down the street.

She's the smell of bleach in our freshly laundered socks. She's the cool hand on our brow when we're not feeling well.

Our Mother lives inside our laughter.

 She's crystallized in every tear drop we shed.

 She's the place we came from ... our first home.

She's the map we follow with every step we take.

She's our first love and our first heartbreak, and nothing on earth can separate us from her ... Not time ... not space ... not even death!
