Grandma I am going to miss you so much. I am going to miss your smile and the kind words that you said to me on Mother's day when I was sad at Harvest Church before my husband and I got married you said to me I will always be your grandmother... I love you and I'm going to miss you....

I am so sorry to hear about Betty. We went to high school together. When I became the bookkeeper for The Salvation Army, we re-connected. She was a very sweet person and I know her family will miss her so much. May God bless and comfort all of you as only He can is my prayer.
