Grandma, we went to the museum this week, me and Alex and Kelley. Eric took us. We went to the most beautiful place we could think of, to be together, and to think of you. There are so many memories we shared, and laughed, and cried a little, too. Both my children really love you, Grandma, you were an awesome Mom, Grandma, and Great Grandma, and we will never forget you! You are with us, beside us and within us, we all feel you close by, always. I love you, Maw Maw, forever honey. And always.

Stacy,
My heart goes out to you and my prayers are with you. I never knew either of my grand-mothers and it sounds like you really benefitted from knowing yours. Time will make things better, I promise.
love,
Sandy

Grandma. One of my most favorite birthdays was at your house. You caught turtles, and put hats on them and balloons and let them run around the yard. I even named one. Slobbers. Every time I tell someone about you, I tell them about that birthday. And how it was my favorite. I miss the smell of your house. And going upstairs and just watching Wallace and Gromet. Then going on adventures in the 'forest' out back. I love you, Grandma Billie :)
