Mom, you were the greatest mother a girl could ever have! I miss your sweet face, your smile, your voice, but most of all your hugs and kisses. I cherish the times we had together, the good and the bad. I had you for fifty eight years, but it went too fast. I hold out for the hope of seeing you again, when God and Jesus raises our loved ones from the graves. The Bible says there will be no more sickness or pain, no tears, no more death. I know you and Dad will be remembered in his paradise, and you both can live forever. I miss you so much. Rest for a while, until the time we can be together again..With all my love. your Daughter,Beverly

Great Grandma was a lady unlike any others, she cooked sewed, took care of animals. I remember my pet birds and her teaching me to care for them and clipping their wings. I remember her tracing my hands for the family quilt she made. But I also remember watching Rocky 4 with her and watching throw her own punches at the Russian, down in the basement. I cherish the time I got to spend with her growing up, when she would watch me or we would just take a quick drive over. How blessed I was to be part of her life and she a part of mine.

My thoughts are with all the family. My Mom (Joyce Graham Sabin) stayed close to her through the years and felt a special bond with her that translated to several generations.
Congratulations to my great aunt Ruth on a life well-lived.

Glenda, Danny, Kathy and Chastity,
All of you are in our hearts and prayers. I read that Kathy had a hard time calling her Granma but I always knew her as Granma Bradley. In fact, I was looking for Bradley in the Courier Journal. Debra is Kathy Samuels' sister.

For everyone that is a member of the Bradley or Wierd family. Grandma is in a much better place and she is no longer in pain. You will always share your memories of her. One that I remember most was how she got upset because it had taken me so long for me to refer her as Grandma.
