I miss you so much Grandma. I think about all the wonderful memories we had at your house, shopping, at Great America and our travels to Florida and much more! You were the best grandparent any little girl could ask for! I miss you everyday! I love you! xoxo

Do Not Stand At My Grave And Weep
Do Not Stand At My Grave And Weep - Mary Elizabeth Frye

Do not stand at my grave and weep,
I am not there, I do not sleep,
I am a thousand winds that blow
I am the diamond glints on snow
I am the sunlight on ripened grain
I am the gentle Autumn rain

When you awaken in the morning's hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quite birds in circled flight
I am the soft stars that shine at night
Do not stand at my grave and cry
I am not there, I did not die

From the Knudson family

I will miss all the times Grandma used to take us to the park and on all our fun vacations. She was always around to help anyone in need and was a very loving Christian woman. I will miss her so much!
