To Richard & Sarah and the rest of the family,
So sorry to hear of your loss. May you treasure all your memories of her. There is nothing like your mother. Just remember she is not suffering anymore and is where she wanted to be. If there is anything we can do just let us know.

Aunt Gracie was special to me as when my mother Ruby (Gracie's oldest sister) passed away when I was only 8 year's old, she and my Aunt Mabel looked after me while I was growing up and treated me like one of their own. The family knew me as "Boots", a name one of my aunts gave me. She was a wonderful lady. Charles Beckner, Noblesville, Indiana

Lisa and Family,
Grandmothers are special and their loss is difficult, but I'm sure you will always cherish the memories of times shared and I pray for the Lord's comfort to you as you grieve.
