I have missed the pleasure of meeting such a wonderful wonderful woman. It is true that the apple does not fall far from the tree. I have had the pleasure of working with and socializing with the family from children to grandchildren. What an amazing, loving, intelligent and kind hearted family. The many, and I mean each and every person in the family that I have met have nothing but love to give. At this time, I give back my love to you. May God give you all the strength to remember the good times.

If I started writing about all of the memories I have of this lady, I'd crash the internet. So instead, I'll just say how much I love and respect this woman, my Grandmother! Grandma words can not do justice to my feelings for you. I am selfishly mourning your loss but smiling at the thought of you and my mom, your baby girl being reunited again. I still love you more each day.---Miracle and Amaya
