'A limb has fallen from the family tree.
I keep hearing a voice that says, "Grieve not for me. Remember the best times, the laughter, the song. The good life I lived while I was strong.'

My Dearest Grandma-ma, In my eyes you were to live an eternity, but God chose this plan for you and in time I will accept that. As for for now, please give Grandpa that long overdue squeeze from me. I am so blessed that you are my Grandma and Great Grandma to my girls and also a Grandma to Mike, who loves you dearly. I so enjoyed our talks on the phone as we would vent and laugh about life and raising children. I loved you singing "little curly hair in the highchair" to sing for my girls...
