Edna, Leonard and Rachel, please know that you have my deepest sympathy on the loss of your dear mother/grandmother. No matter when our mothers are called home, we feel a huge loss. I hope that lots of good memories flood back to help ease the ache.

I was one of those kids that got put in the "Naughty Chair/Desk". I'll never forget it, but there are many other happy memories that I take with me of Grandma Joy and the kids I played with in daycare. May you rest in peace and now watch over every child of God. (Samantha Thompson/ Oracle, AZ)

Where to even begin......You will be missed more than you will ever know. You were a role model, a friend, a grandmother but most importantly my mom! My heart aches so much now but I know in time it will heal. Your memories will forever be etched in my mind and in my heart. I don't know my life without you. It scares me but when I'm sad I will remember all the good times and laughs that we shared. God only knows I have a lifetime full of them to choose from........There was a reason you came into my life when I was 6 months old. You picked me up in your arms and you never let me go. Thank you for everything. You are the BEST!! I love you with all my heart and miss you tremendously. Not a day will go by that I won't think of you. I love you!!!!!!
