I always knew you as "Grandma Miley" and I always found you to be the most pleasant, active, PROGRESSIVE and independent person i've ever met! I never got to say "Thank you" for all the kindness you showed ME and Tony when you welcomed us BOTH in your home and we set up your NEW recliners and take out that old recliner (seemed like it weighed a ton) from your home. My back never worked the same after that...LOL
You are truly ONE CLASSY lady and will be missed by all!
Love,
Jason-Lee Jacobo & Tony

(2 Timothy 4:6-7) "I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith."
I pray that God's peace that surpasses all understanding will be in your hearts as you mourn the loss of your mother, but that you will keep your eyes transfixed on the hope that you have in Christ that you will all be together again in Heaven. And that the precious gift of love and family will help you thru this difficult time- bind together in unity- that I know will make her proud! May the Holy Spirit bring comfort and strength to you all.
Precious Dee- you are a dear, sweet soul... Praise God that you are in the midst of our glorious creator... until we meet again!
Your Sister in Christ

Grandma,
It was a great 24 years that you were in my life! I have a whole lot of memories to hold me over until we meet again one day. I know getting old isn't fun as you said but I hope that one day I get to be half the grandma you were to me.. I will miss you and I love you! *muah a kiss on the cheek.

Mom...
I will always cherish the last days of your life where I got to help take care of you, it was both the hardest, but the most cherished time in my life. I thank you for giving me such a wonderful life, and bringing me up so well. You raised four kids by working so hard and having to much pride to ever use the welfare system, you chose to work hard and do it, and you did! I will never forget in the last days when it was so hot and I patted your face with a cold cloth, you looked at me and said "Barb, you take such good care of me"...and smiled the best you could. I am going to miss our two to three calls a day, getting your mail every other day, buying your grocieries and getting our regular Tuna Melt sandwich from Subway on Sunday's...and remembering your funny quotes you always repeated...like..."well, you know when your almost a hundred..." or "it's no fun getting old"...or "you know I give good advice"...we laughed...
I am so thankful that work gave me the time off to spend with you in the last weeks, I can honestly say I loved you all I could, until the very end. How I will fill the empty void in my heart I will never know...you did promise to live in all our hearts, and you also promised when it is my time to go and join you, that you and Todd would also come and meet me at the steps of heaven and escort me in also...
I will treasure the memories of you forever...I thank God he gave me YOU as my mother, HE had it all planned long ago. Rest now dear mom, job well done! I love you, miss you,and I thank you!
Your youngest daughter "Barbara Lou"
