Dear Grandma,
I didnt know that you could write here, but Im glad I found this. Life isnt the same without you. I miss you everyday. I wish I had more time with you. I would ask you so many questions. Words cannot express how missed you are, but I know you are happy in your heavenly mansion. I ask you that youll continue to watch over our family.

Hey Granny Chiiiiii oh my Goodness how much I miss you! You was my world you was my everything you understood me when no one else did. Wishing I could call you and see you. I've been thinking ALOT about you. I here your voice on so many different occasions. It definitely doesn't feel like you have been gone 10 years. Every time my birthday roll around the moment and memory of losing you replay in my mind. You where definitely the ROCK of the family. May you continue to rest in peace. Love you...

Nine years later, her good works had no faded in our everyday lives. God, thank you, for this gift that you gave to us to cherish only for a few days. We won't forget.

Thank you
Shirley

My mother was like no other mother. She was a fantastic woman, grandmother, friend, saint, nurse, wife, helper.... To have known my mother was a gift. My mother could make you mad one moment; she would smile, and make you love her the next moment. The greatest thing about my mom, she would tell you the truth whether you wanted to hear it or not. Also, when she was disappointed in you, you knew that too.

My mother made sure you knew the truth on how to make it to heaven. ...

I enjoyed my day overall but it jus wasn't the same with you not here... but I know the Lord has it all in His hands and I'm not goin to question Him. He knew the heartache I would have before He made His plans go through... oh and happy belated bday miss lady! Love you much Auntie
