I miss you so much Grandma. Losing you and my Moma just a month apart is the worst nightmare one could ever live. You were always like a Mother to me. Thank you so much for loving me unconditionally. There will never be anyone like you. I pray that when my time on earth is done... that I can say that I was at least half the woman you were. You set the bar high. I would give anything for just one more healthy, happy day with you and Moma. I don't have a job to hold me back from visiting you right now... right now I can stay as long as I want.. but now I can't... because you are in heaven... love you a bushel and a peck, and a hug around the neck.... love your Monkey Baby

Moma I loved you more than words could express, I sure wasn't ready for this one. You were the one I always ran to when I needed to talk, what am I going to do now without you, I feel so alone. Tell Daddy and Debbie that I Love them and miss them, too. I will miss you forever moma, my Lifetime Movie Buddy....
