There is no other like the love of a mother.
Forever we knew her love would last.
Forever has come now there is only the past.

Think not of the future with out her; your heart sinking fast. Only of the past because forever her love will last.

Sincerly praying for the entire KEARNEY family

The time that "granny B" has spent here was a true blessing to every heart she touched. Family, be blessed to have had the opportunity to meet, love, and cherish special and unforgetable moments with her. Naturally you will shed tears but let each drop remind you of how sweet her spirit was while she was here with you. Pease be at peace with your family loss because she will always have a place in your hearts and be with you. My family prayers is with you as you mourn your loss.

Love always,
Charmein, Kenny, & Kiya
