Grandma well it been a long year without you. I really wish you were here. I know you are up there watching down on the family. I also know that you are Madalynn's angel. That is why she is doing so well. I love you and miss you so much. One day we will meet again

May the love of friends and family carry you through your grief and the precious memories of your loved one give you comfort and peace.

I know the feeling of losing someone close to you and the pain is overwhelming, But with the help of family and friends and remembering the good times that person has had on your life makes it alittle easier. Knowing that God is welcoming her into heaven and she will be that angel when you need her,or that miracle that happens, or just that good feeling for no reason at all. That is her blessing you with her goodness, The hardest part of life is someone close to you leaving in such a hurry, keep that person close in your heart and love them each and every day. God will do the rest, We love you Aunt LaVerne. Tina,Cubby,Jamie,DJ Butzen
