I will miss my best friend my mama Annie Laurie Grisham (Tinker).
I will always remember her when I try on new cloths because we used
to go shopping together ever since we moved to Jacksonville. I was only 11 years old, that is a lot of shopping. I’m the middle child of the three children that Mama had. I remember her telling me that I was the planned child. Also the easy one in child birth. Mama was a proud person that was tuff to hold her head up high no matter what. Every time I see a Tinkerbell or Tweedy Bird I will always think of her. You always wanted her on your side and if you were family she was. I’m so glad that I got some of your strength and I don’t mean physical. I now know what she meant when she would tell me about her Mother. I know that one day I will get to see her again and with that knowledge it makes is easier to endure.
I loved Mama and will miss her.

Annie Laurie Grisham is my Mama, she gave birth to me 47 years ago on Nov 9th in Gainesville Florida. She was always a shining example of what a mother should be, she was always there to help and support her family and friends. She was a faithful Latter-day Saint and had a great compassion for others. She raised me up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord and taught me to love God and my fellowmen. Her 26 year career as a nursing assistant at Riverside Hospital could be summed up that she was a ministering angel to her patients. She loved my father and was married 61 years and had an eternal marriage.
I will always love and cherish her as my Mama and look forward to when we will meet again.
I love you forever and ever,
your son Mark

Aunt Tink was the type of aunt every kid should have. As a young child growing up in a home that was not always a happy one,Aunt Tink's home was a retreat. Those weekend visits were some of the best memories of my childhood. Her home was always filled with joy and love.
I truly believe there are angels on earth and Aunt Tink was as very special angel. Through the years we haven't kept in touch the way we should, but I thank God that I had this special woman in my life. She has left me with many wonderful memories. I will never forget her.

My family and I are very sorry for the loss of our Aunt "Tink". She was a truly a "conerstone" of our family, and an outstanding example of not just a "Wife","Mother","Grand mother" or "Aunt", but of a human being. May she rest peacefully until she can be reunited with those who loved her.
