Missing you so much my little Mommy. It’s hard to believe you’re not here. I have to remember you’re not suffering any more and that you’ll wake again soon. You were the best mother in the whole world and a wonderful example of a beautiful lady inside and out. And you’re so loved.

Missing you so much Grandma. Life is not the same without you. I can't wait to see you again in paradise, where you will be able to meet my son, your great grandson! I will tell him how loving, strong and amazing of a woman you were as he grows so he will know how incredible of a grandmother you were, and how you made so much of an impact on our lives. I love you so much and can't wait to see you again.

Tia Jane, it hurts to know you have gone from our once shared world to your next life. You are deeply missed by everyone. I know in my heart you watch over all of us and are now reunited with those that left us before. And that brings a little comfort. I have always cherished the memories spent by you and I will continue to do so. Til we see each other again, rest well.

Miss you Gramma. Love you. Kristie
