Grandma, it's so hard to believe that you are gone. Your service today was just the way you would have liked it. So many friends and family surrounded us with their love, your flowers were gorgeous, and Greg played the violin and spoke about the good times the two of you shared. Thank for you always loving Greg and taking me in as your granddaughter. Things will never be the same without you around.

To my Granny who I cherish and I will always love. I don't know where I would be today if I didn't have you in my life. Forever, I will ever be grateful to God for the times we shared. I know that I am a better person because of everything you taught me growing up from a little boy to today. A minute will not pass where I will not think of you. I love you today, tomorrow, and always.

Ann, I was sorry to see the passing of your mother today. I know how close the two of you were. You and your family will be in my prayers as you go through the next few days.
You were lucky to have had her for so long.
