Great grandma,
What can be said about such a fulfilling life? You've done and seen things that most only dream about. You've seen people come and go as if they were a breeze on the wind and still you held your head high and did nothing short of what could only be described as classy. You are and always will remain a phenomenal woman in the pages of my life's book and I will continue to share the stories and lessons you've shared with me onto the next generations to come.
I love you and miss you.

Grandma,
I will always remember your kind heart. You were there for anyone who needed your care.
Each summer that was spent with you was a wonderful experience, from clipping coupons, to the card parties that you hosted and the yard sales that were abound.
Thank you, for the quarters that were so generously given, so that a trip to the Sutter Market was a bountiful trip.
Love Forever, Shirley Watts-Klein
