I miss you so much Granny and I love you with all of my heart. Not a day goes by that I don't think of you. I'll miss your "Be Sweet and Be Careful" at the end of every phone call and I'll always look for the butterflies. XOXOXOXOXOXO

I didn't get word of her passing until this afternoon. We would have wanted to be there for the family who had been there in our lives and loss of both of our parents. We love this sweet family and cherish many wonderful memories - we love you sweet "aunt" Sue.

If we could have given you one thing in life
It would have been the ability to see yourself through our eyes
Only then would you have realized how special you were to us

We will mourn you
till we join you.
