Grandma-I have missed you every second since the moment you left. I also know that you are in a better place now. A place you can finally breathe that breath of fresh air without struggle. I thank God for the past 36 years with you. I enjoyed picking you up to drive you to Christmas Eve and taking you home. We finished so many puzzles it is impossible to count. Thank goodness you showed me how to make the best macaroni & cheese on the planet and play the best card games in the world (Whist & Cribbage). It seems you have "played one and looked at the other" one last time. I will love you and miss you everyday of my life. May God be with you.

My Mother was the most caring and wonderful Mother and Grandmother anyone could of had. She was silent many time with words, but her actions always showed the love she had for her family.
We have so many memories together, from when she visited us in Florida, to the times we spent in the Rapid City, to the Good Sumaritan Home.
She was such a good Grandmother to Melissa and Shawn. She gave of her time, when we needed someone.
We gave of our time when she needed us most. My husband Robert was so supportive of us all this time. He loved Granny with all his heart. She will be surely missed everyday in our hearts.
