Ahh grandma, life is so hard. I have been goin through so many changes and thoughts of you and God allow me to keep my head above water. People say I have your fighting spirit but I don't know. I miss you so much. Just hearing you talk to me eased my weary mind most of the time. I love you so much. Watch over me and our family. We need you so much right now. ALL OF US!!!
Love Renae

Hi, Grandma. I miss you very much. I love you and your crazy ways of dicipline. You are the soul reason that I am the successful man that I am today. Even though you rarely smiled, when you did you always gave my world light and sparked the flame in my heart, which is why I love you so much. I will always remember you and you will stay in my heart forever.

I remember when we all used to jump in bed with you and watch TV. I remember all of the good times and even the bad, when you used to make us go outside and a pick our own switch off the tree. I will miss you and I love you.

To my dearest grandma, I will miss you dearly including our long talks on the front porch. You were one of a kind in which you raised your children, your grandchildren, and your great grandchildren. I was so fortunate that you were able to watch over my son but was not quite able to watch over my daughter. I will truly miss you for being the greatest grandma a granddaughter could have in a lifetime.

"Grandma" honestly words cannot express truly how I feel about you! I still have good memories fresh in my mind of that sweet smile and warmth hand. I remember you used to make give us a good dinner and make us go to bed as soon as the sun went down. I really hated it then but I understood that you did whatever you could to make sure when we got older, we did what we were suppose to do. You did so much while going through so much. It was many times that you put someone else in front of you and you taught me that I can do the same. I know it was a few times that you weren't happy with me, but from now on; I'm going to make you as proud as you can be. I Love You so much and will miss you dearly.

You were my great grandma and you raised me to be the best i could be and now that you're gone i just have one thing to say and that's thank you. Thank you for always being there for me when i needed you. Thank you for helping me through my hard times and never giving up on me. You was the best grandma a child could ever ask for and you worked so hard to keep everything together. I'm sad that you're gone but you been working for to many years it was time for your broke. Please don't feel bad for leaving us, trust me, you raised us well and one day you're going to make it were you are. Okay i'm going to end it right here with not a good-bye but a see you later. I love you grandma.
