"Grandma"/"Mom"
There are no words to describe what I am feeling. You were the "ultimate" friend/mother-n-law that anyone could ever have. You were always there when I needed you, when Tara and Rick needed you, and when anyone needed you. Your words were soft-spoken in every situation, and your heart was true in everything you did. I am so thankful that I had you when I did, and I am so happy that Tara and Rick were with you at that very beautiful moment when you went home to the Lord. I know you could feel Tara's hand in your hand, and Rick's eyes watching over you. You were such a blessing to the kids. You were and always will be the "light" that will never fade in my heart.
I will always love you, and I will miss you so much. You and granddaddy have a wonderful home now...enjoy yourselves!

I want to express my condolences to all the family of Mrs. Dobbs, particularly Frank and Bob who I know so well. Bob came to the service for my mother last June, and I wish so that I could make it up to Collins at this time. I will continue to have y'all in my thoughts and prayers.
