Well What can I really say but I Love you, you were also my grandma and very wise, very loving and very giving. I know that you are in heaven looking down and seeing your wonderful family. The boys really did not know you that well and I wish they could have to see what a wonderful human being you were. But every night Bryan asks to pray to you. You are our angel sent by God.

At this time of sorrow,
may these truths sustain you...
Your loved one will always
be as close as a memory,
and the God of all comfort
will always be as
close as a prayer.

Our thoughts and prayers are with everyone.
Love,
