Grandma made the best chocolate chip cookies, grilled cheese sandwiches and homeade pickles! Thank you for the best memories.

“There are many rooms in my Father's home, and I am going to prepare a place for you. If this were not so, I would tell you plainly. When everything is ready, I will come and get you, so that you will always be with me where I am”. John 14:2-3

I will see you again Grandma. Love you dearly.

Darlene, Deepest condolences for the loss of your Mother. I know how much your Mother meant to you. I am sorry I was unable to get off work to attend services. You are and have been in my thoughts and prayers.

Great-grandma lived such a full life! I aspire to be like her in so many ways, from her great sense of humor, even in her old age, to being the best pickle-maker around. I'm happy that she is now in peace, reunited with so many loved ones, but she will be missed dearly. Special thanks to Darlene who has taken such good care of her, especially over the last few years.
