I am truly saddened at hearing of the loss of your mother and grandmother. I remember her as a very kind, loving, patient person. She will always be missed until we are reunited as part of God's eternal family in the hereafter. In the meantime please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers.

Please know I am thinking of your whole family as you adjust to the absence of this wonderful person in your lives. Hold dear to the loving memories you have of her--and write them down to share with those family members who will never get to know her here on earth.

I cherish the interactions I had with "Grandma Bradshaw". Though they were small ones, I feel richer knowing how her generous hospitality added so much to Harold and Jeanna's wedding celebration--and the months following when they lived with her.

Sincerely, Georgia

I'll look forward to seeing you again, Grandma. --Paul
