Love is not measured, always glad to see you, not prejudiced, or judged. Love is in the heart. That is what Grandma Isabella taught me. Tomorrow will be one year since you went into God's arm. You will always be in my heart. I will always love you. Thanks for being my teacher.

Mama Bella!! Oh my goodness! You are now resting in the arms of Jesus! No more pain, trouble, nor aggravation!!! I loved you so much and you knew it! You always showed me how you felt about me also! Oh our times in the Mall, Kmart, Sears, just riding along being together, and eating at Long John Silvers was magnificent!!! Yes, many, many years ago!! The times we talked about the Lord and I would sing many hymns/songs to you. I will never ever forget you. Our last visit, I knew it wouldn't be long after I kissed your forehead and told you thanks for loving me in a special way and you said "I'll meet you over yonder" I just knew. Rest easy Ma Bella til we meet again I'll always be your "Rhonnie"! With tears in my eyes, See ya later Ma!
