Always thinking about you and how you loved all of us so unconditionally. Miss you. This year, the anniversary of your passing to Glory is on the Feast of Purim, when Queen Esther (how appropriate) saved her nation. Because of her bravery, the Lion of Judah was preserved and our Messiah was born some 700 years later. Shalom to our Queen!

I am the 2nd oldest great-grandchild. Grammy was a wonderful lady, mentor, and beleiver. She always had a kind word for everyone. Her door was always open. She worked hard at every thing she did and never once complained. Always after a meal her and Pappy both would sit down and read the Bible, no matter what was going on. She will be missed greatly, but I know she's where she lived her life to be. It's not time to be sad for her, but rejoice for she's in a better place with no pain and back with Pappy and Jesus. I love you Grammy and I only cry because I miss you, but I will see you again one day.

I am the oldest of the grandchildren, and Grammy will be greatly missed. I really appreciate the Christian background that she hepled to instill in the hearts of ALL the family. I know that today she is rejoicing in Heaven with Pappy and Dad, and most important of all, Jesus.
Thank you for all you have done for me, and I will never forget you.
Love,
