Grandma, it is hard to believe that it has been two years since you've been gone. It still seems so recent and my tears still fall and my heart still aches. I know you are in a happy place where your smile is eternal. Just know you are remembered and thought of daily.
My eternal love always!

I'm sorry this is late coming but first my name is Linda Taylor, Ms Cornelia lived next door to me on Gibbs Drive for many years , she knew my step father when he lived here , we both had knee problems so we checked in on each other. she was caring , loving and even after she moved she kept in touch with me and always wished me a happy birthday since my birthday was Dec. 29 th she truly was a sweet person and will be missed. I didn't know she had passed , I've been battling some illness myself .I was laying in bed and she crossed my mind so I called the last number I had for her and it's no service so that didn't sound right to me .so it came to me to look her name up and that's when I found out she had passed .I know the pain never goes away it just gets a little easier I truly can say I know how you feel you will always miss her , sometime you may even just cry out when thinking of her , don't ever try not to do these things, it helps even if only for a while it helps to cry sometimes. My mom passed in 2013 and I still find myself crying at least once a week. God Bless each and everyone of the family and friends. A good woman has gone on to sit on the throne beside our savior and I know she is watching over you

I love and miss you Grandma. It still doesn't feel like you're gone...I think I'm still waiting to see you sitting on the sofa, or to call you, or even go visit you in the home. I hope you're better and will watch over us. I promise Gerrell and I will make you proud. Thank you for all of the years of love, safety, food, home and comfort.
Love forever,

I will always remember the phone calls, the visits down to Tallahassee to see you and the family, the birthday cards, and so much more. When Papa passed, I was left with a big responsibility, and that was to watch the family. And now that you're gone, Ive got an even bigger job; and that's to check in on the family from time to time. I'll make sure to look after Aunt Margret and the family. I'm not going to say goodbye GG, I'm going to say see you later. I Love You. Save a seat for me next to my Savior. And tell Papa I Love and miss him. RIP GG!!!
