Hey G-ma, I wanted to let you know I always think about you, constantly the memory of you graces my thoughts. I have recently studied the passage John 3: 16 (For he so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son so that whosoever believed in him shall not perish but have eternal life.) God wrote it in his word that you shall not perish grandma that includes the memories of you, you have ever lasting life. I love you so much, continue to watch over me.

Hey G-ma went to the house today it wasn't the same. Exspecially when I walked into your room. There are framed pictures in the room of you with your beautiful smile shining light on the whole picture. Do you remember how after every time it rain you would tell me to get the broom and to sweep off the porch. Just remebering that makes me smile. I love you grandma and miss you very much.
