Dear Grandma,
I didnt know that you could write here, but Im glad I found this. Life isnt the same without you. I miss you everyday. I wish I had more time with you. I would ask you so many questions. Words cannot express how missed you are, but I know you are happy in your heavenly mansion. I ask you that youll continue to watch over our family.

Hey Granny Chiiiiii oh my Goodness how much I miss you! You was my world you was my everything you understood me when no one else did. Wishing I could call you and see you. I've been thinking ALOT about you. I here your voice on so many different occasions. It definitely doesn't feel like you have been gone 10 years. Every time my birthday roll around the moment and memory of losing you replay in my mind. You where definitely the ROCK of the family. May you continue to rest in peace. Love you always and forever.

My mother was like no other mother. She was a fantastic woman, grandmother, friend, saint, nurse, wife, helper.... To have known my mother was a gift. My mother could make you mad one moment; she would smile, and make you love her the next moment. The greatest thing about my mom, she would tell you the truth whether you wanted to hear it or not. Also, when she was disappointed in you, you knew that too.
My mother made sure you knew the truth on how to make it to heaven. That's why my mother was loved. She made sure before you leave her present you knew good.
Yes, I miss my mother and my friend. My remember our last days a lot; but then, I remember the lifestyle she taught me as a woman, as a mother and as a saint. Today with a smile on my face, I am grateful.
For real mom, rest in peace and one day we will see each other again.

auntie, it's me, I hadn't forgotten about you. I think i am about to face reality that you are in a better place. God was ready for you, and he only takes the best to give the rest of us a chance to get prepared. I remember me always calling you on my way to work, saying hey auntie, how are you today and you would respond by saying i am great, but, one day you are going to call me and i am not going to answer you, I never thought that the time would arrive so soon, but God knows best.

When I met Mrs. Monroe I went to see who was keeping who was keeping my grandchildren and I met an angel from heaven. Didn't have to worry one bit about the children and could see the spirit of the Lord in her. Peace to her as she go home to her father. Family, the joy of the Lord is your strength always.

I did not know Eloise personally but I heard wonderful things from my daughter-in-law Tatiana who works with her daughter. She was also taking care of my grandson before she became so ill. Our church had her in our prayers. I pray the Lord will give you all a comfort and peace that only he can give. Diane Smith

To Peggy and the Monroe family,I'm truly sadden by the loss of Mrs. Monroe. She was a beautiful woman inside and out. Her faith in the LORD was strong and I know she now sits at Jesus feet. She will continue to watch over yall as she did here. Her love for her family and grandchildren that I witnessed was priceless. She did GODS work and instilled the knowledge of Him in her family and friends. Mrs. Monroe was a strong woman, kind and caring. She was a blessing to all of us.Her impact will forever be. She was definitely Heaven sent.Her void she has left here will NEVER be filled.
I really can't believe this. I never imagined this day would come. GOD has taken back His angel. But we will see her again.
Love Yall,
Tonia and Deka
