To my beautiful angel
You are the reason I keep my head held high
You are my inspiration and for you I will stay strong
You will forever be with me
Every discussion I make will go through you
I'll tell you about all the stupid boys who like me and I will work my hardest in basketball
I dedicate my seasons to you
you are a part of me...without you in my heart I am not whole
I feel like I have a special guardian angel looking out just for me
You are forever a part of me
I love you Grandma
Love always, your little bird;

Dear Barb, Mark, Lauren, Casie and family-

So sorry to hear of your Mom and Grandmother's loss. Every time I came to your home for the last several years in fact you always talked about your Mom, or better yet she popped her head in to say hi. It was so obvious that she was loved and a huge part of your family. Even to her last few days you were planning how to make her comfortable and cared for in your home. I know that you will miss her very much and just want to say that you are in my thoughts and prayers. I am thankful that you have many great memories and happy times to reflect upon as life moves you forward.

With much love and respect;

Lesa Johnson
