grandmama,
i miss you so much. i find myself telling people all of the things we did and wishing i was that little girl by your side stealing bisquit dough, or running your flour mill. going down in the cellar and getting canned food with you. i can taste your cooking, those blackberry coblers oh man . i wish our boys had gotten to know you and granddaddy the way we did. i feel sorry for them that they will never know that kind of unconditional love you and granddaddy gave...

There isn't a day that goes by that we do not miss you. There isn't a night that goes by that Connor does not ask Jesus to tell you hello when we kneel to pray before bed. I thank God every day that Connor and I were so truly blessed to have you in our lives. We will cherish the memories of having you as our wonderful Grandmother always! I take solice and find peace in the fact of knowing that you are now our angel in heaven, watching my little boy continue to grow. I am so very thankful...

Great grandmomma, thats what I called her... The word GREAT doesn't even do justice for the woman I remember. I can remember meeting at her house almost every sunday for dinner and family unity. Her table was always full of some of the best food ever known to man(if you ever had her green beans you know what I'm talking about lol) I used to enjoy going to her house and doing puzzles or playing home-made board games and no matter the time of morning or evening she always took the time to play...

Grandma was there from the start cradling me as a baby. I would climb on her knee to eat ice cream & have her read to me. As I got older, I would run up after school to visit & grab a rock hard oatmeal cookie out of the bottom of the fridge. We all have our own special memories of grandma because she made each of us feel special. Grandma gave me the most important things in life: her time, her attention & most of all her love. I am blessed to have had 35 years with her but I will miss...

Grandmother, I remember the day I called you and asked if I could come for a visit. You said, "baby I don't have much to give you but my love so come and get it." I can still see you standing in the doorway when we arrived with your arms wide open to hug me. I can still feel your embrace and hear you whisper in my ear "I've always loved you." And seeing Mom cry. I will cherish that moment until it my time to see you both on the other side. I love you grandmother and kiss my mom for me.

Nancy and David, your and your family took wonderful care of your mom. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers, and remember the happy times I spent at your home, having fun with your mom joining in, around tea time discussions. My hear goes out to you during this difficult time. >> Susan Ellis, Roanoke

Our thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort.
