Grandma was the grandma of all grandmas. Everyone has special ,loving words for her. She always made me feel like the most important person when I was with her.She would let me make paper dolls from her Sears catalogs which are some of my favorite memories. She also taught me to play card games, like Old Maid.I hope some how I can be the type of grandma she is. I know she made us all feel number one when we spent vacations with her.I love you grandma!!! Please kiss my baby girl for me.

Ma, as I called her, was a very special woman. Even after I was no longer a part of the family, she always treated me like a daughter and I loved her so much. Ma became my second Mother after my Mom passed away. I knew I could always call her for advice or just to talk things through. She will always have a special place in my heart and will be greatly missed. My prayers are with her family, all of whom are still very special to me. Love and comfort to all, Debbie.
