I'm so sorry for your lost but when the Lord calls he leaves lots of memories.
My name is Jackie Schneider. You may remember me as Jackie Smith. I used to live on Mark St.
I've known your mom for many years & she was a wonderful person. I'm so glad that my sister & I were able to visit her when I was in Viriginia.

I love and miss you Grandma, you will always be in my heart. I will always treasure the time spent with you. My greatest gift from you was when you said, "Cindy I love you, no Cindy I want you to know as really love you." That is a gift that comes without ribbons and bows but will last forever.
I love you so much Grandma, Cindy
