HAPPY BIRTHDAY GRANDMA!

Mom:

As you already know, you are missed by all of us who love you.

We were comforted by the many kind and loving words expressed to us by friends and relatives who loved and respected you. Neil and Hedi Nelson and their children sent us an especially moving card after attending your celebration. Paul and Tina Nyman and their family would have made Peggy and Bill Nyman very proud of the love and respect Paul showed you and his parents by attending your funeral service/celebration, the card with loving thoughts and the flowers that were so beautiful.

Ralph, Beth and I received your acknowledgement of this and many other conformations of you thanks and thoughts of other family, friends and "Block Nurses", through John Edwards of Crossing Over. John edwards told us to look for your written message that

we didn't know about. We found it. We love it.

We know you are with us all. We know that you are watching over Porky, Jack, Julie and Deanna in the hosptials.

Although we can't see you, we know you are here. We know that you are at peace and so are we.

Love,



Ronnie

So many memories I can share; from gardening, canning, lawn care, bus rides downtown, Como Park, Gibbs Farm, needle point, puzzles, baking, I can even say grandma and I did "windows" together. My grandmother taught me numerous lessons in life and we had a great time doing it.



Grandma lived a long and fruitful life. Rest in peace grandma!

I Love you!

Thanks to grandma. My family and I have many great memories to share. We are very lucky to have her in our lives. Now and forever.

Grandma worked very hard all of her life yet still she made the time to let us know that she loved each and every one of us. I take great comfort in knowing that grandma is in heaven with many of our other relatives and people that she has told us stories about that we have never even met. I know grandma is with us and her arms are around us in these first very lonesome days.
