Can you hear me Grandma? I know you are in a happy place, but I still want us all to be together. I keep hearing your laugh and your attentive "ainta, hey?" expression. Thank you for being such a big part of my life and a huge ingredient of who I am. Im proud to be your grandaughter and admire so many things about you. Thank you for knitting baby blankets when your hands were hurting. Thank you for taking every phone call no matter what time it was. Thank you for spoiling Jodi and I like crazy before the other grandchildren were born. Thank you for speaking up when something wasn't right, and thank you for once again, bring our family together because it seldom happens. I will miss you and tell many stories about this beautiful woman Carol who wrote stories about her animals, was religious about her weekly menu, and loved to paint. So full of life and always looking for a way to channel it, I know I will feel your prescence until I join you. Rest in peace. XOXO

Dear Grandma,

I love you and will miss you very much. You were a wonderful grandmother. I will miss our conversations about love, life, and everything in between ( your fudge and pineapple upsidedown cake!). Thank you for sharing all of your life experiences; your zest for life and living in the moment was an inspiration. May you rest in peace and be in the company of loved ones who have passed before you.

I love you,

Jodi

Dear Sandy and Family,



My heart goes out to you and your family as I too have recently lost my mom. I now carry with me the relief that she is being taken care of pain free and her struggling is over. I also know that she is watching over our family and I look for those little signs that remind me of her every day. I miss her dearly, however I am the living legacy of everything she stood for, so I pass this forward to my children, grandchildren, friends so she will never be forgotten.



God Bless you and your family and my prayers and thoughts are with you. Thank you for sharing your mom with me.



Love Judy

Dear Mom,
We had some great times together and laughed, you taught me some lessons in life that helped me grow, we had some hard times and cried. So many moments go into a lifetime, thanks for being in so many of my moments.
I will miss you so very much. I love you and will hold you in my heart forever.
Dear God, give us strength and comfort as we let go of Carol and she moves into your hands. Let us be assured that one day we will meet again.

Peace and Love.

Sandra
