She was a strong individual and she fought a lot of battles but she never let anything get her down. I enjoyed so much going down and talking with her and your dad. She was such a wonderful woman and always looked out for everyone else. She loved her family very much and always bragged on all her children and grandchildren. I really will miss her.

Grandma,
I thought of you with love today
But that is nothing new
I thought of you yesterday
And the days before that too
I think of you in silence
And I often speak your name
All I have are memories
And your picture in a frame
Your memory is my keepsake
With which I'll never part
God has you in his keeping
I have you in my heart
Love you always,
