Nobody on this earth could replace the love I have for her. She was the greatest grandmother, friend, confidant, cook, artist, she was everything great to me.. I lost part of my soul the day she passed. I'm forever grateful to not have only been so close to her but to share so many memories. I'll forever think of you anytime I look in the mirror, for any beauty I have has came straight from your beautiful soul. I love you so much grandma and thank you for being exactly who you are. Love, your sweet babies Lacey, Brenden, Daxtynn, and Nixsley
