Grandma, I only got to really know you for a little over a year, but in that time you made me feel welcomed in your home, and your life! You helped me thru a rough time in my life when Rich passed away, and you were there and happy for Merlin and me when we got engaged. I really felt like you were my Grandma, and I hope you know I felt like I was your granddaughter! I miss you already, and I know Merlin really misses you, and we both wish you were still here. He has shared quite a few stories with me about the times he spent with you, and I know you meant the world to him, and he loves you! We are sad that you are gone, but happy, too because you are in a better place now, and don't have to suffer anymore. We know you will always be with us and in our hearts!

Merlin and June Losaw
