It's so sad to see my great grandmother go. I am so very sorry I will miss the services on Friday due to being out of state, but my thoughts will be with everyone that is there. I have so many memories of my summer trips to see her in CA with my grandfather and loved playing in her backyard, going out to dinner with her (many times that included dancing), having her sit by the pool at our hotel while we swam and just spending time with her at her home . She will be greatly missed and is always in our hearts.

Even though I will not be able to attend the services on Friday my thoughts and prayers will be with everyone. My grandmother was a wonderful person. Wish everyone could have had a grandmother like her. She loved when we came to visit and always insisted on taking us out to dinner. She also told me that she loved the fact that my son looked so much like her son. (my dad) She will be greatly missed.

This day is remembered and quietly kept,
No words are needed, we shall never forget,
For those we love don't go away,
They walk beside us every day.
Unseen and unheard, but always near,
So loved, so missed, and so very dear.
