Oh so many things to say and so so many good memories to share. She is one of those people in life that you pray you meet one day. I was lucky enough to call her "Grammy". If you ask anyone that has been privileged enough to meet her, you will always hear the same things. She was kind, giving, loving, easy to talk to, and never put herself before anyone else. She has taught many of us about life, love, and family values. She has given so much of herself to everyone she's met. I only wish I could have given her that back ten fold. I truly believe that she is watching over us like she always has. It gives me great comfort knowing she will always be there even if I can't see her. I love you Grammy!!!!!

I have so many mixed feelings about my Mom passing away.The last week I spent with her was an emotional roller coaster.I laughed, I cried, and sometimes I just sat with my head on her chest in silence. ( I think that was the most special.) I got to tell her how proud I was to have her as my Mother, and my best friend, and how proud I was that my kids got to call her Grandma.
She has touched so many peoples lives. So many people called her Mom. Growing up my friends would rather come to my house more than any place else because they could talk to her, and we would all hang out together. In later years, she would sit for hours playing games with the grandchildren (the ones that wanted to play anyway).
She just loved being around people. She taught us all about family values. If I could only be half the mother to my kids that she was to me, I would be happy.
I am sad, but yet very content to the full life Mom had. But, what really makes me feel sad is the fact that there are so many people that didn't get to meet her, that didn't get to feel her love.
She was, and always will be one special lady..............
I LOVE YOU MOM !!!!!!!!!

How can I put into words just what Gram meant to me? There are no words that I can say to describe what a wonderful, caring woman she was. She is the glue that kept or family together. She taught me what family is and what it stands for. The memories I have will never be forgotten. From helping with dishes by sitting on a chair because I was too small to reach, playing bingo and making apple turnovers.... too many memories to list. She is gone, and a piece of me is gone with her. I have the title of "Grams Poo Poo", and the only other title I hold with as much honor and pride is "Mommy". She is Gone but never forgotten. Love and Miss you Gram xoxoxoxo
