In memory of Waverly McCann

Raising her children.....
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
Obituary in Durant newspaper
Waverly McCann, 77
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!

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.

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!!!

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. xo Cheryl (Narod) |
