Family and friends can call the family at a later date for details. Heaven When I go to Heaven how marvelous to see my brothers and my sisters waiting there for me. I?ll hug my Mother and my Dad a precious moment to be had. A kiss from Russell. It?s been so long. ?Together Again? will be our song. So don?t shed tears or hang down your head. Remember the good times and smile instead. Joyce Tenley The family would like to thank the staff of Pennington Square, Monticello Nursing and Rehabilitation Center, and Above and Beyond for their wonderfully loving and generous care.
