Grandma it has been a month now and we all miss you. The boys ask who is taking care of you now and I tell them God is and that both you and God are watching over all of us. We love you!

Mom,
Just to let you know, we will get through this. You have left a strong family that loved you, and loves each other. Everytime we get a hug, we will remember you. You have left this earthly home to join our Father in Heaven. Your new home we imagine, is glorious and a much better place.
We will never forget your love for us, and never forget our love for you.
All My Love,
Your Daughter Sue

Arlana and Family...
Just wanted to tell you once again how sorry we are about your mom. She is now at peace and in a much better. Im sure you have many good memories of your mom and that will help you through this time of grief. I've been through what you are going though, what with having lost both my mom and dad, so I totaly understand how you are feeling.
Take care... and remember I'm there for you if you want to talk and share. Sometimes it's easier to talk with someone...
