Today i turn 30. If anyone would have told me I would be doing this without you here with me i would have accused them of lying. Your great grandbaby just turned 1. I wish you could have been here for it. Hes beautiful and talks with his hands just like you! Everyday something reminds me of you and it proves my heart will never fully heal. Oh grandma, I love you and miss you every single day!!

Mom not a day goes by that I don't think about you and dad you was always there for me and it's hard to go shopping for food because you was always there with me. I remember when I would buy a new food you would try it to see if you wanted to get the same. I still watch calamity Jane and in remembrance of you . you are never forgotten.love you Mom.

Happy birthday! Its the first one without you here and it doesn't seem fair. We should be able to call you, hug you, and show you how much we love you. Instead, we are left with nothing but memories and broken hearts. What we wouldn't give to have you back! Your first great grandbaby will be here in just 8 short weeks. I promise to make sure he knows how amazing you are! Watch over us always! Love you so much! Happy birthday!!!

My heartfelt sympathies go out to the family during this difficult time. I hope that the promise in 1Thessalonians 4:14 can bring comfort. Knowing that there's a hope for the ones we have lost in death can be so reassuring. May the God of all comfort grant you peace and strength during this difficult time.

We lost your sister our hearts were broken then we lost you only a few weeks later just like in life you were never far behind one another,but now our hearts are just empty feeling.

Save a place for me up there so one day I will be with you again...love and miss you mom thanks for all you did for us all.

Oh grandma! You were my world and so much more! Words can't express how much I miss you and how hard life is without you! I often find myself picking up the phone to call you and it hits me everytime. I wish I could have told you how much you mean to me just one more time. I hope the heavens know what they have up there. Until we meet again, I will love you and miss you for the rest of my life down here
