Missing our sweet Grandma/Gigi and remembering her kind spirit. I will miss you and the fun we shared talking about our favorite show and so many other things. Thank you for sharing your heart and stories with me and for being such a wonderful Grandmother and Gigi to our girl.

I love you Grandma and I will always remember our trip to Mayberry! You and I got to spend that time together talking and reminiscing alone. It was a special time for me. I have so many other special memories! I'm glad that you got to spend time with my wife and daughter. McKenna loves her Gigi. Paula loves and misses you very much as well. We nicknamed you "Gigi" when I told McKenna my Grandma was her Great Grandma (initials G.G.). I shared with her that you would be called "Great" Grandma because you had done such a good job being my grandma that you promoted to "Great". Thank you for accepting the nickname with your sweet smile and loving the three of us! You will always be in our hearts.

She always put God first, she was like a mother to me more than an aunt. I miss her so much and she will be remembered! Roxann
