My dearest Momma...You were my best and dearest friend. You taught me so many things...most of all how to stay strong and keep my sense of humor through the worst circumstances. You always had a smile for everyone and you knew no strangers. You were at your best when with family and friends. You loved your buddies at CVS and Shop & Save and Schnucks. When most of us hate going to Doctors (and she had to see many), you were always excited to see your Dr.'s and staff. You knew them all by name too! We will miss you so much..but, we will carry on your legacy..Love you Momma...Toodle-Doo

We are the Granddogs and Grandkits mentioned in GranGrandma's listing. We are; Kimber, Ian, Peppe, Taylor (The Granddogs) and Spooky and Miss Kitty Cat (the Grandcats). We moved from Tennessee in 2009 to be closer to Gram. We nearly had riots over who would get to sit closest to her when she came over with Aunt Nancy a few times. She would send us Get Well cards, help send Mothers Day& Birthday cards to mom (Connie) and Mom helped us send cards to Gram too - to Get Feeling Better, happy birthday and GranGrandma's (mothers) day too. She never failed to have treats for us and treated us like her very own. We are so very sad right now but she will see her own 'Captain' and Queen Anne' dogfriends now and we're happy for that. Wish we could have been there tonight but we know you will be around us to visit and love on us. Love, us Toodleloo, GranGrandma.

"GG",
You are such a beautiful and strong woman who taught all of us so much. Your loving touch and guidance will be greatly missed by all of us. I am so grateful you are now at peace and the suffering has ended. I know you are sitting upstairs watching over all of us now with the warmth of God's light shining on you. Give Captain and QueenAnne a kiss for me and I know I will see you again very soon. My Forever Love, Micker

To my beautiful Gram,
I am so very grateful for the end of your suffering. I cried many tears, but not for your leaving from this world, but for your suffering. I am thankful that our Lord took you home to Grandpa and your parents. Even in the midst of your suffering, you still tried to comfort each of us. It made me so aware of your selflessness. I love you Gram and I know that I will see you again. TC
