new poem from becky....

My Grandmother

You've always meant the world to me
Even before I could really remember,
before I could talk or really start to see.
You've guided me and shown me,
through life.
How to love and behave,
to be a caring mother and wife.
You've reached with me
for all my dreams,
and always believed in me
to overcome what life brings.
You've always been my hero -
the epitamy of grace and compassion.
You've watched me grow
from child to wife,
taught me how to fight this cruel life.
You've stood by me
and watched my boys
come into this world and grow -
You've shown them undying love
that I promise you they will always know.
I love you,
You are my Grandmother and Mom -
I'll always tell you about my days
and still talk things over with you,
to see what you would say or do.
Always remember though,
I've always loved you.

Mom's ashes were scattered on her property.... as she requested last night.
Thank you, God, for our lives with mom! We will never forget her.

In memory of Waverly McCann

Image

We are dedicating this site in memory of our beloved mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, sister, aunt, and friend. Instead of a memorial....we thought this would be a long-lasting and loving way to honor the life of a very special lady. Please email Joyce with your memories, thoughts and feelings of Waverly and we will share them. We pray you find comfort in the words and photos on this page as we have. We thank the Lord for our time with her and give Him all our love, honor and praise!

Raising her children.....

Becky's poem....

Becky's poem....
I cry today. Because inside I feel pain. I cry today. Because I don't know if I can ever make it go away. I cry today. Because I ask, is it harder to know someone is dying, or to merely one day go in your sleep? I cry today. Because I feel I only have so little precious time to be with her. I cry today. Because it's not a burden she should have to bear, she's a saint, the one who's always there, why is life so unfair? I cry today. Because I once again think of when she told me, that cold conversation. The way we held each other and cried, she suddenly felt so weak, the more I cried as I looked into her lovely eyes. I cry today. Because we talk about the cruel disease and it's as if she's been stolen, I wish the time would freeze. I cry today. Because my grandmother has always been my rock, she posseses something so gentle, the way she talks to make you understand. I cry today. Because I have to say goodbye and go home. I hug her and never want to let her go, but knowing deep inside someday that day will come. I cry today. Because I see the love in her eyes and know she sees the longing in mine. I pray today. Because I hope she knows how deeply I care and I hope to see her again Up There. Rebekah Holmes

Waverly McCann, 77, of Mead, went to be with the Lord on Wednesday, Sept. 17, 2008. She was born in Wisconsin and has lived the majority of her life in Oklahoma.

She is survived by her five children, Rita Stark of Oklahoma, Lanny Black of Washington, Michael McCann of Oklahoma, Susan Steinhart of Virginia, and Kern McCann of Oklahoma, her 12 grandchildren and 22 great grandchildren. All her family loved and cherished her dearly as did anyone who met her.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be made to Marshall County Integris Home Health Care and Hospice at 1 Hospital Drive, Madill, Oklahoma 73446, to the ladies who took such good care of our angel.

Brown’s Funeral Service, Durant, and Texoma Cremation Service handled the arrangements.

Messages from friends and family....may you find comfort in their words.



************************************************************

We’re still praying for you and Lanny and the whole family – this is a hard time!

I love the memorial site! Cool to see your whole family!

I love the pic at the 3 crabs! A favorite for after-church dining when I was a kid!

So sorry for your loss. Please accept our sincere sympathy at this difficult time. Roger and Karla

****************************************************

Tell Lanny I am so sorry to hear about his Mom, I know how it feels and there is nothing anybody can say to make it feel better. Just know, he is in our thoughts and prayers.
Love ya,
Rick & Kathy Rayment

**********************************************

Our condolences to you and Lanny on the death of his mother. Take comfort in the fact that she is no longer suffering and is free of pain.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

Joyce & Lanny,
We are so sorry to hear about your loss. May God comfort you during the days and weeks ahead. Praise God she was a believer!
Jim & Jill Campy

***************************************************
I tried ot give you a call this evening. I just wanted to pass on to Lanny our sincere condolences. I don't believe I ever got to meet Waverly, but her story of love, devotion and service did not go unnoticed. During a time which would break many souls, she carried on.
Her work will not go unnoticed in heaven, for a job well done on earth. I love you guys. As hard as it is to lose some one as dear, their spirit may go up to our "Maker". But some are lucky that a lot of that spirit touches our hearts.
Doug, Betty and Kids (Langager)

I’m so sorry to hear about this news. Please let us know if we can help in anyway!

Thanks,

Sorry to hear about Lannys mom. I lost my mom to cancer in 1998. Rejoice in the fact she is with her Lord. But, it still leaves us sorrowful down here for missing of them. Tell Lanny we are thinking of him. Jean Salo

**********************************************

So sorry for your loss but she is now whole and at peace, thanks be to God...our Love & prayers, Libby (Christie)

****************************************************

I am so sorry to hear that. At times like this all that "she's out of her suffering" "she's in a better place" sounds like gibberish. I know she is probably elated to be There, but to you and her family, she's not HERE! It is hard to focus on the good,even if you firmly believe in God and Heaven and the joy and peace of it,when all you can feel is the emptiness where they should be. When Grandpa died,that's pretty much how I got through it by remembering where he was now and what it meant to him and grandma. But NOW it is too hard. Please give Lanny our love and sympathy too.
Denise (Culton)

My prayers are with you & Lanny and his family. How is his sister?

Give Lanny a big hug for me. I'm very sorry for your loss. Love to all. Rita Langager

*****************************************************

Hugs to all of you, Joyce. And of course, continued prayers.
I love you.
Amy (Taylor)

************************************************

My heart is with you both
Bev (Swift)

************************************************

I am sorry for your feeling of loss. Give Lanny a hug for me. It is so hard for us to understand death. We should be happy for the people that get to go home to live with our Heavenly Father. Yet our worldly bodies want to keep them here with us. It is almost like letting a child go off the collage or join the service, but with a less emotional strain. We are happy they are bettering themselves, but it is more comforting for us to have them here in our homes. I pray that Lanny & the rest of the family feel a wonderful peace that she is where she would like to be. I love you all.
Marie (Langager)

***********************************************

I am soooo sorry for your loss but I rejoice in the fact that she is with the Lord. What a special place to be during these times. Can you please send me your mailing address?
Love you all & keeping you all in my prayers.

**************************************

As you know I lost my Dad in July to cancer. My heart goes out to you and Lanny in your time of grief! But our hope comes from knowing that they are at home with their Savior. Oh what a day that will be!!!

Your Friend,

Kurt (Hoyt)

You and Lanny are in our prayers.

Dear Lanny, Joyce and Family,
Thank you for letting us know that Waverly has ended her suffering here on this plane and has joined her heavenly Father and her family that has gone before her. What peace there is in this life knowing the Lord is with us here, and with her there, and he will be with us forever and ever. I send you my love, and I do know how you feel.
