Thank you all so much for signing this Guestbook. I know that my Grandma had wonderful friends and enjoyed your time together a lot. She was a wonderful woman, and was extremely strong. I know that she is still with us, but in a much better and brighter place. Again, thank you all for signing, and God Bless.

I counted Ms. Electra as a dear Christian friend, a political mentor, and a great American. I am happy that she is breathing heavenly air instead of struggling with the lung problems here on earth.

Grandma I wonder
where you keep your wings.
Are they hung in your closet
with the rest of your things?
Do you put them away
and just use them at night
or give them to another angel
to polish up bright.
I know you have wings,
for this must be true,
'cause God always gives
them to Angels just like you.
Be at peace Grandma....with the Lord. I love you and will forever miss you. I will see you one day, up in the heavens.
