Grandma, I'm sorry I didn't get to visit you sooner. I know you are in a better place resting now. I have such wonderful memories and will cherish them ALWAYS! I can still hear you telling Andrea to get her fingers out of the butter, it's bad for her(: Words cannot express how thankful I am for ALL you (& Grandpa) did for me. I will FOREVER have you in my heart. I know you are with Grandpa & Steve watching over all of us.

Lo siento mucho por su perdida. Que bueno es que la Biblia nos da una esperanza tan maravillosa en que nuestros seres queridos puedan volver a vivir otra vez. Esta esperanza Biblica puede ayudarnos aguantar la pena que causa la muerte (Job 14:13-15; Juan 5:28,29). Que Jehová, el Dios que nos da este esperanza, bendice a su familia (2 Corintios 1:3,4).
