You meant a lot to us, and our daughter Lindsey was very fortunate to have known her great grandmother.

We love you.

So he put his arms around you, and whispered, "Come to me.”
With tearful eyes we watched you, and saw you pass away.

A golden heart stopped beating, hard working hands at rest.
God broke our hearts to prove to us, he only takes the best.”
