AHHH Grandma where do I begin,So many memories,The house on Pleasant Valley that is where I remember most,The lake learning to ice skate,Sledding down the hill and those darn bread bags you made me wear on my feet.Oh how I hated those but now I love them because they are a good memory of you,How you came to my rescue when i was young,I always knew when things got tough and I had no place to live you would be there and you were,I will miss you but I know you are now at peace.Love you Gramms Vikki

I will miss my Memaw Yunker very much. She was always so nice whenever I got to talk to her on the phone and I know she loved her great-step-grandchildren. Bailee still wears the booties Memaw Yunker knitted for her. We will treasure them and her memory always. We are so glad she had such wonderful family to take care of her in her final years.
