I remember her as Gram. That's what Brittany, Seth, & Melanie called her. I use to see her at Winn Dixie every morning. I know how much everyone loved her and she will truly be missed. I wish I had known sooner so I could've said my goodbyes but now is as good a time as any. May God bless the family. I love ya'll always and forever.

John and Tina,
SYMPATHY
God be with you in your sorrow,
Through the night and through the day;
May some blessing come tomorrow,
That will clear its cloud away.
God is generous in His giving,
Give Him now the soul that's fled:
May He bless with strength the living,
Rest eternally the dead. (author unknown)
Know that we are with you in spirit and are in
our prayers and thoughts. Love
