God saw you getting tired, and a cure was not to be. So He put His arms around you and whispered, “Come with Me.” With tearful eyes we watched you slowly fade away. Although we loved you dearly, we would not make you stay. A GOLDEN HEART stopped beating, your hard-working hands put to rest, God broke our hearts to prove to us He only takes the best! Goodbye mom, grandma Claire, wife and friend Your arms were always open when we needed a hug. Your heart understood when we needed a friend. Your laughter and brightness touched us all! You’ll be missed dearly, you were one of the greatest of ALL! Memorial Donation in Claire Schoeneck’s name: Ducks Unlimited One Waterfowl Way Memphis, TN 38120 Thank you friends and family for all the thoughtful messages and flowers. Please give us sometime to heal and return phone calls. Our mom was one hell of a lady that is truly missed by all! I think mom would tell us all: Order up some good wine, Soak up the sunshine, take time to try to love someone. Life’s just a ride on a runaway train you can’t go back for what you’ve missed. So make it good, make it last it all flys by so fast you only get one trip! Please post your memmories and pictures of her as this tribute will continue and be here forever! Thank you!
