I'm so happy we got to see each other before you went. And you got to hold your great granddaughter before you gave her to me. Thanks Grandma. I miss you so much.

So hard to believe you are not here on this earth any longer, also hard to believe counting the years mom hasn't been here with us - 41! Now you & she will be together once again with the laughter we know only so well from you both. God loves you as I do Aunt Janet.

A beautiful garden now stands alone,
missing the one who nurtured it
But now she is gone,
Her flowers still bloom, and the sun it still shines,
But the rain is like tear drops, for the ones left behind,
The weeds lay waiting to take the gardens beauty away,
But the beautiful memories of its keeper are in our hearts to stay,
she loved every flower even some that were weeds,
So much love she would plant with each little seed,
But just like her flowers she was part of Gods plan,
So when it was her time he reached down his hand,
He look through the Garden searching for the best,
That's when he found Grandma, it was her time to rest,
It was hard for those who loved her, to just let her go,
But God had a spot in his garden, that needed a gentle soul,
So when you start missing Grandma, remember if you just wait,
When God has a spot in his garden, She'll meet you at the gate....

Love you Grandma so very much!
