Hi grams, you've been on my mind today. I was showing Madi your photos with Anna. I'm sad there will never be any photos of you with Madi. All I can do is tell her what an amazing person you were, and how much you meant to all of us. I will love you always.

Just missing you grams. Sitting in my house, thinking about how we used to talk. We used to dream about buying a house and having margaritas together. I wish you could have seen my house, and Madi could have known you. Love you

Mom,your second great grandson Jayce was born one day after your first grandchild was born!Very ironic, I will see to it that he knows you and your kind spirit which I'm sure you are already watching over. We named him after you, as we did with your first. I still miss you so much,but I feel you near me more so now than ever especially in surgery. I love you MOM and will see you soon...

Mark,Marni,Sonja, and Family.Mom was an amazing woman with a heart of gold open to all.She was the most accepting and forgiving person I have ever had the pleasure to know.There wasnt anything she wouldnt have done for anybody.She was a shining example of forgiveness and second chances.I have alot of very fond memories over the past 20 years that I will treasure always. She is deeply missed by all of us.She was family to me and my children and we loved her as such.

MISS YOU SO MUCH MOMS

Grama, you are still the sweetest person I have ever met. You meant so much to me, you were always there for me no matter what. I remember going to the hospital, you never left my side. You stayed with me the whole time, when no else was there. I'll never forget all the things we did together, they all mean so much to me. Like when you took me to the house you and Harry bought, and taught me how to plant a flower. We planted one little purple flower in that big ol' yard. I'll never forget every time we would get in the car, anna saying "mommy, we should go to walmart and visit GG." I miss visiting you grams. I love you, and miss you so much. You meant the world to all of us.

Grama, i finally cleaned our room! and dont worry i kept everything the way you liked. I miss you more than words can describe but i know you are up there smiling down on us laughing. Im thankful for the memories i have forever like how we used to stay up all night doing crosswords and catching up on the latest gossip. Driving in the car with no destination but the joy of eachothers company. I will never be happy that you are gone, but it brings me greater happieness to know that you are finally at peace. no more worry or pain or discomfort, just the long sleep, drinking margaritas and watching over your loved ones as we grow and love and learn until we meet again and you better have a strong rita waiting for me. forever and always gram, your grandaughter kaila
