"Goodbye may seem forever
Farewell is like the end
But in my heart is a memory
And there you'll always be."
I love you, Grandma. You will always remain alive in my heart and soul.

I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. Now there is in store for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on that day -- and not only to me, but also to all who have longed for his appearing. (2 Timothy 4:6-22)
Dear family Shivers
May your hearts soon be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate a life well lived
Love and prayers!
