Dave, Sorry to hear of your Mother's passing. Thinking of you at this difficult time.
'A limb has fallen from the family tree.
I keep hearing a voice that says, "Grieve not for me. Remember the best times, the laughter, the song. The good life I lived while I was strong.'

My Dearest Grandma-ma, In my eyes you were to live an eternity, but God chose this plan for you and in time I will accept that. As for for now, please give Grandpa that long overdue squeeze from me. I am so blessed that you are my Grandma and Great Grandma to my girls and also a Grandma to Mike, who loves you dearly. I so enjoyed our talks on the phone as we would vent and laugh about life and raising children. I loved you singing "little curly hair in the highchair" to sing for my girls when they were little. You always made me feel so accomplished as a mom. I admire your quick whit and listening skills. I have so many happy memories...riding my bike to your house when I lived close, you wearing fake glasses with a mustache on Halloween, me playing matchbox cars on your yellow couches on the porch, playing in your mirrors in the downstairs bathroom, just to name a few. Loved playing Gin 13 at your kitchen table and going to bingo and casinos with you. I will miss your smile and the distinct sound of your voice. I will also miss hearing you play tinker music for me over the phone on my birthday. Well, I have to pack now, but I'm not coming to cry or say good-bye....I'm coming to say I have a sexy Grandma and I'm always going to make her proud!!!
