Not sure what to say?

My earliest memory of my grandmother was when I was about 3 years old and her house burned down and she and Papaw came to live with us. I can remember waking up to the smell of grandmother's coffee and papaw's cigars! You could always count on grandmother to have 4 things: Coca-Cola, Ice Cream, Doublemint gum and Chocolate!

The service for grandmother was beautiful today. I will be forever grateful that I was fortunate enough to be counted among her grandchildren. I have so many fond memories to carry me through; things I will share with my children that they can share with their children. I love you grandmother.

Our prayers are with y'all I know she will be missed. Sorry I was not to come but I pastor in Tusc. and I didn't know in time to get someone to fill in fore me.

It is so, so hard to lose one's mother, especially one who has been so loving, giving, inspiring, guiding, kind, and caring for so long and to so many others. My comfort lies with the blessing of having had her as my Mother for my 70 years and of having a treasure of wonderful memories from which to draw. RIP, Mother.

Marie and I are sorry to hear of the loss of our Aunt Ruth. May God be with her family and may God take good care of her. She will be rembered.

God saw her getting tired,so he put his arms around her and whispered come with me,with tearful eyes we watch you and saw you pass away,although we loved you dearly,we could not make you stay,a kind golden heart stopped beating,hard working hands at rest,God broke our hearts to prove to us that he only takes the best.
