My Nanakins was a wonderful, fun & loving person . She was full of life. She loved and was very proud of all her children, grandchildren and great grandchildren. She was not only my grandmother but she was also one of my best friends. She was a good sport and would do or try anything. She and I loved our shopping and our lunches at Perkins.
Her passing has left a empty space in my heart. I am lucky to have so many wonderful memories of the girl talk sessions and the great adventures we shared. I will Love & Miss You Always! " Lisa Bell "

Auntie Esther was a special, loving and warm little creature...Distant in location to us in Minnesota, but close to our hearts. Just to know there was a person in the world like her gives a feeling of warmth and hope to us all. My Mom's sister, such a sweet lady. She made us feel special just by being our Auntie Esther. We will miss her.

My Grandma, was a special person. She was Nana to my 3 kids and they were blessed with her being in their lives. I will tear up whenever I hear the terms "You-Hoo" or "Toot-Toot", that was "Grandma talk". Anyone who had the pleasure of meeting her understands just how special she was. I Love you Grandma!!!
