Aubrey,
I am sorry for the loss of your grandmother. My grandmother was from England also. If she was anything like you, she was a wonderful woman. It is so nice she gets to be with your grandpa again.

I'm so sorry for your loss, and that I wasn't able to attend the services. You are in my thoughts, and Heather, I'm so glad we found each other again. You've always been such a super friend. I know this time is hard, but it will get better. Your mom will always be there watching out for you. They never leave as long as we have them in our thoughts. You have lots of good memories, just hang on to them.

Mom:

I miss you so much but I know you are in a much better place and you are with dad now, which you have wanted to be for such a long time. What a reunion you must have had Sunday night!!! Give him a big hug and kiss from us all.

You were such a wonderful loving mother and we will miss you dearly. You suffered so long but died so peacefully and we were all there so you did not die alone.

Love,

Grandma,
Me and my family will always have you in our hearts. We love you so much. You were such a great grandmother. You had the biggest heart and was always there to help anyone. You were so beautiful and special. I loved to hear you speak with your accent and always wished I had it. I remember asking you what language you spoke when I was a little girl and you would laugh and say English. I will always cherish our moments together. Say hi to Grandpa and the cats for me.
Love Always,
Kristen Garcia-Beeson and Family
Your grandaughter

Grandma,

I am sure that after you hug Grandpa, you will take off your shoe and throw it at him for taking so long to come and get you.

I am so grateful you have now been reunited.

Love,

To the Fitton Children,
You all were very fortunate to have had such a wonderful mother! The many times I visited your home,I was always welcomed and made to feel as if I were a part of the family. I will never forget the fried bologna sandwiches and the sound of Mable's laughter. I am so happy she is with Bill and her parents. How blessed we all are to have known such a wonderful daughter of our Heavenly Father!

Grandma,
I miss you so much, but I know that you are happier now than you have ever been. I am so glad I got to see you one last time last week. Know that I will keep my promise to you. I will also raise my Gwendolyn Brierley with your spirit and light. Music already fills her heart. I love you so, Grandma. Hug Grandpa for me.
