Grandma, I miss you so much and I know we'll meet again! I had a dream about you last night, and you looked so healthy and happy.
You were the toughest lady I knew. Having gone through a SECOND kidney transplant in your 70's, was amazing! You were such a trooper and stayed positive through it all. We are so grateful to have had all these years with you!! And I'm soo happy you got to meet and hold your great grandson Emmett Beck. Miss and love you so much.

My sweet Mom, you've been through so much in your life. I hope you can rest in peace now, knowing there will be no more hospitals, illness or pain to endure. You were the absolute strongest person I ever knew. We all had so many more years together than expected despite the nature of your illness, and for that we are eternally grateful. I'll miss calling you and hearing your cheerful voice on the other end of the line, whether you were feeling well or not. I'm so grateful we had the chance to spend your 56th wedding anniversary with you, and Dad, and that you got to meet your great grandchildren. Know that your sacrifices will never go unnoticed or unappreciated. We love you, and miss you deeply. Until we meet again, Mom, all our love.
