Grandmama,
You will be missed by all of us dearly. You were the only grandparent we had left. I know you have had a hard time not being at home and wanted to go back but we know now God had other plans for you. He wanted you to be in heaven with GrandDaddy and Daddy. You take good care of them and give them lots and lots of hugs and kisses. We miss them terribly. I will remember when I fed you your dinner a couple of weeks ago and had to force you to eat it. I knew you were slowing declining. Well you still made me laugh when you asked me to change your night gown. I made sure I was not going to get in trouble and you said no no no lets do it. You were my trooper you helped me as I helped you over your neck brace. We all love you and I am glad I was able to be with you all morning and stood beside you until you took your very last breath. REST IN PEACE until we meet again. Love you lots and miss you already.

Grandmomma,
You were the last grandparent we had left and you were a fighter! You fought till your last breath and am glad I made it just in time to see you go to heaven peacefully. I will always remember this wedding anniversary spending it with you as you took your last breath. Chelsea has said prayers for you and told God to take care of you. She loved you very much as we all did. It's hard to believe you are gone from this world now but I know you are rejoicing w/Grandaddy and my DAD! We will bury you the same date we buried him 22 yrs ago. Linda and I had just turned 13 yrs when we lost him and now we just turned 35 and we have to say goodbye to you. I am glad I got to talk with you a litte Thursday night before your health declined. I will miss our visits and watching Chelsea give you hugs. We all know you are in a better place and WE LOVE YOU! We will see each other again some day!
