Granny, the moments I got to spend with you I cherished so much,I enjoyed the times at the lake house and sitting out on the porch while you had your coffee and just talk. Your smile and laugh would light up the room, I miss you so much already! I promise I will take care of Derek, and if he says anything inappropriate I will "hit him" just like you've always told me lol .. I love you and miss you always...

Granny, I never thought I would see this day. I figured you would outlive us all. My life will be forever changed. I miss you so much already. I'm so lucky that Madison had a chance to know and love you. I know you are in Heaven fishing with Poppy and Uncle Steve. I don't know what I'm going to do without you. My heart aches so much. I love you more than words can say.
