Dear Grandma, We are glad that we had the opportunity to let you know how much you are loved. The service you very much wanted was performed partly in our hearts and also at our luncheon. We know that you know who cared when it counted the most. We will forever miss you. We hope that Grandpa is up to all of those kisses!

Lots of Love,

Stevie and Lisa

Mom,

It's been 1 month already and it's been so hard for me to accept the loss of you.

I'm just glad that you got the chance to talk to Mary and that made the both of you very happy.

Mom the last couple of days after your surgegy was so hard for you to talk to anyone but i accept that only because you Joyce and I had are talks that we have shared together and we will always remember that.

Mom,I'am doing everything that you wanted me to do for you and i have completed that for you,I know that you are looking down on Mary,Jimmy,Joyce and Myself for doing what you wanted done.

I thank the 3 of them for being there with me at such a bad time but we are doing what you asked for.

Mom,you always talked to Jimmy and he always listened to you,He misses you so much mom you know that.

Mom I have Mary that's keeps in touch with me every other day and Jimmy comes over all the time and Joyce and Kelly are always here and i hope that makes you Happy cause that is what you wanted.

I'am so glad that you got to tell all that was bothering you and it made you feel better to get it off your chest.

I just hope that you and dad will be happy together with no more to worry about.

You and dad taught us RIGHT from WRONG and it's what you decide that you are, and only you and dad will see that now.

Mom you talked to me so much about accepting what people say and just walk away and we both know that we been there. I thank you for that because i do follow that and will never forget that step to follow.

Mom and Dad i love you both and miss you so much.

God Bless You Both

Love,

Your Baby Daughter

Dear Grandma,

You are an inspiration to our family.Your hard work and determination in life set an example for your family to follow. I have always been so proud of you and Grandpa. You both came to this country without anything and accomplished more than most.I only hope to follow in your footsteps. I am glad to have made trips to Chicago with Richard and the kids so they too can have memories of you. I only wish Kaylee Elizabeth could have had the chance to know you but she will hear from us the kind of great respected woman you are. I will miss you always and I know your with Grandpa now and both of you are at peace and together.

Love,

DiDi

Mom,

I have spent my entire life with you and dad and with you gone Iam devastated.

All i have now is the memories of our good times on our vacations and our family gatherings.

I will miss our walks around the house looking at all the beautiful flowers that you loved so much,and i will always make sure that those flowers will be there for you year after year.

I have been with you day after day and it will be so hard for me to accept this.

Mom,I love you and there is not one day that will go by without you on my mind,you will be thought of everyday just like dad.

We have shared alot of talks and laughs together and i will always cherished that.

Mom now your in a better place with Dad and i hope you and dad will always look down on us and watch us all.

Love Always

Your Daughter

Although you have moved onto a better place, Grandma Crunch will always have a special spot inside my heart. I learned a lot from her, and I am glad that she is now back with Grandpa watching over us. There are no words that can describe how amazing she really was, and I am glad that she brought so much joy to my life for many years. Your little Shawnie boy will miss you.

MOM:



Thanks for all your years of loving, caring and providing for me. Through good times and tough times, we both knew that we loved eachother. I thank God everyday, that you and I got along and never spoke unkindly (thought maybe) about eachother. I thank God for coming out in Jan and for giving me the time we had together. It was one of the best times I ever had with you, eating breakfast together, playing bingo and thank you for sharing all of your memories of your childhood with me. I learned so much about you from that trip, I wish we would have started that sooner.



You don't have to worry about anything anymore mom and I am so happy for that.



Give Dad my love and I sure hope that you both are having the time of your life.



Your daughter and friend
