Grandma was such a great woman. She was such a caring person and always looked at the best in people. She will be missed greatly.

She was such a good grandma and taught me about love. Together we fed a lot of ducks in Fort Wayne and at the lake in Florida. She showered us with photographs from our childhoods and home videos of the grandchildren's song and dance performances. She painstakingly wrapped little packages with tissue paper for every occasion and signed in her perfect handwriting, "Love, Ma and Pa." With pretty fingernails, she scratched the grandkids' backs to our hearts' content. I am so grateful for the joy, generosity, and fun she brought to my life.

Sad to hear of her passing. She was my great aunt & I remember when visiting family in Fort Wayne, she would sometimes come by to see us kids. She always brought her fluffy little dogs & we would play with them. I remember her being a very kind person & she will be missed.

My beautiful Ma, (maternal grandmother) who I share my middle name with, went to walk the streets of gold. I have so many fond memories of her-playing babydolls with her on her living room floor, visiting her in Florida and receiving every handmade shell craft known to man, watching Wheel of Fortune, her drinking her Diet Coke out of her well-loved tall Tupperware tumblers (with a bendy straw), having sleepovers, enjoying vanilla ice cream with chocolate syrup, her videotaping every single family celebration and gathering, learning how to properly file my nails and testing each nail on her housecoat for snags, buying her angels for each birthday (they were always her favorite), but one memory always sticks out. I landed the leading role (Annie) in my 8th grade musical, "Annie" and on opening day the doorbell rang at home. My mom called from the kitchen to see who it was. I told her it's an older lady with flowers. I opened the door and to my surprise it was Ma and Pa who flew all the way from Florida to see my performance. We will always cherish our wonderful memories of you and look forward to when we see you again.
