I love you Grandma! You will be missed very much. My boys truly adored you. I will be telling them stories about you for many years. You were such a wonderful woman, and you took care of all of us so well. My favorite childhood memories are all the summers that all of us kids spent at your place. I love you. " Who's ya daddy!"

Grandma... You will be missed for a long time to come. I enjoyed all of the time I got to spend with you. You always said what was on your mind. Makes me happy to see your spirit live on in a lot of the family you led the way for. I wish we would have had more time, but will forever be thankful for the time we had!
