Not sure what to say?

Mom, you where always there to answer my phone calls, no matter where I was traveling. Even though Judy has been able to master the rice pudding, no one will ever outdo you with your cinnamon rolls, quilts or sewing. Judy and I will always charish our summer and winter quilts that you made for us. Please give Dad and Joyce a big hug for us. Love ya!

Grandma, it was always hard being the youngest grandchild and the furthest away.

I will always remember watching Twins games with you, your canned pears, the attic toy stash and most of all, my very own "especially made by Grandma" quilt (which like Kathy, is still on my bed).

We all miss you dearly and know how proud you were of all of us.

Love Todd, Jaime, Piper and Lockett

The memories that I cherish the most include learning how to make baby quilts (those mitered corners are still hard to do), playing dominoes, eating cookies and cinnamon rolls, zigsaw puzzles, talking on the phone, flannel pajamas for me and my bear, Christmas Eve, talking about life back when, books, hearing about the relatives, Changable Charlie and other toys that we could only play with at Grandma's house, and the way Grandma was always available to listen. Love and miss you.

You have our deepest prayers and sympathy in your time of great sorrow in loosing your mother and grandmother.

Grandma was the one to go to for questions about how to make rhurbarb sauce, miter a quilt corner, ask about what cousin is doing what, or what each great-grand child was up to. You had to check with her before visiting because you never knew who she would be off visiting.

Best memories were of Christmas when we would all get new flannel nightgowns or pj's. Our parents knew that if we put them on before leaving grandma's, it would be easier getting us off to bed once we got home....

Grandma, We will miss you so much! I will never forget visiting your house & your cookie jar (it was always full). Thank you for the wonderful handmade pajamas and quilts over the years - I still have your quilt on my bed! I just wish I would have inherited your green thumb or your ability to make the best cinnamon rolls! We will miss you! We are glad you are at peace!

All our love,
Kathy Jo, Rob, Grant, & Taylor Jo Beery
