To Linda, Rachel and family
I was blessed to have met your grandma for such a very short time but remember the time vividly. I often have thought of her, especially her wonderful sense of humor, her soft but strong hand holding mine. I can only imagine just how many people she touched in a special way throughout her life. She is someone that is truely unforgetable.
May God comfort you.

Adrienne and Lorraine, you had your mother a long time. May she continue to bless you for your loving care and attentiveness over the years. Now she knows "face to face".

Grandma Julia:
It seems God didn't forget you after all. He knew you had more to teach us before you joined Him and your loved ones who are with Him. We will all miss you; what a great run you had!
All our love,
