Dear Aunt Sheila, Aunt Brenda and Mom,
My prayers are with all of you now and with grandma. I know she is in a better place now with no pain. I always remember how she used to wake me up when I stayed with her.
Wake up little birdie, what makes you sleep so sound.
I love everyone of you and I loved grandma as much as any granddaughter could. She is in a better place now with no pain and she can dance around without any of our help.
Love
Robin

Hello Aunt Shelia, Aunt Brenda and Mom. I have been praying for all of you since you called and said how bad Grandma was,and I know you miss her but remember a part of her will always be alive within each of you. She is now no longer sick and she is happy and healthy again with her heavenly Father. She would not want you being sad for her but REJOICE SHE RAN THE RACE AND SHE HAS WON THE PRIZE, SHE IS FINALLY HOME. I love you all. Just remember GOD has all our days numbered he knew exactly when he would take Grandma home and she did not go one day sooner or later than he planned. We could all learn something by that Live our life in such a way that every day could be our last. Grandma knew you all loved her and she loved ya'll. Well I could write a book but I better not. My love is with you........Your oldest and wisest neice and daughter
