The kids and I went to visit you today. Can you believe some of those flowers are still beautiful? We then went and saw Dad. I took the kids to the "pet" cemetary. I didn't know to much about Curly, Prancer or Spot, but I told them all I could remember about Buddy. According to you, he was the best ever. As far as I'm concerned, you were the BEST grandmother any child could ask for. Thank You!! We love you.

It's another day here on earth. I just keep remembering things. That's why I thank you for being the person who were. You gave me such a wonderful life when I was smaller. You remeber the time, you worked at Burlington and Eric and I hid your keys so you couldn't go to work? And then you said at the end of the day, "well, I'd be getting off work right now" and then we brought you your keys. It's the small memories like that, that mean the most. Do me a favor up there, will you? Have a pack of cheese crackers and a chocolate milk, just for me. I Love You, and ALWAYS will.

Well Granny- We had the service this morning. There was beautiful music, testimonies and the most important shared memories. Thank you SO much for always being the wind beneath my wings. You have always been a wonderful Grandmother to me. I failed you in so many ways, yet you never mentioned anything. You continued to encourage me and love me just as I am. Have fun celebrating in Heaven. I look forward to the day that I can be with you again.
