Joannie, How often is it that a mother-in-law and son-in-law hit it off right off the bat? I remember the first night I met you and Betty Jo and how we sat and talked, teased each other about silly things and laughed so had our bellies hurt. When we came up to visit I remember how you always would always sneak Kimi a piece of candy or two and how the two of you would talk for hours, oh, how she loved you. When you got so sick and Betty Jo said; "I will never put my mother in a nursing home", I had absolutely no reservations about moving you to Ocala. During the next nine months, we talked, we laughed, we cried and loved each other. I will always remember how I could always get a big smile when I rubbed your toes. You will be missed by many, but you have left us all with fond memories. Godspeed- Bob

Mother, Mother, How I already miss you. You will always be in my heart and on my mind. We have been a team since I was 16 years old. I feel so privileged to be the daughter that you would always count on through good times and bad. I will remember when you fell and were so sick that a doctor and a close family member wanted to take you off of life support. I prayed to God that He would give you back to me and my prayers were answered. Bob and I brought you home with us to Ocala and God let us be a family for nine wonderful months. You said things to me that I will always remember like how well I was taking care of you and that I was the best daughter a mother could ever have. Those words and the "I Love You" I heard everyday will always be dear to me. I will always remember that Bob and I had the pleasure of making your favorite dishes and your special desserts. All the material things that seem so important to other people will never replace what the we shared. But, you made me make you a promise that I will do everything in my power to keep. I always told you that we come into this world with nothing and leave with nothing, but now for some reason I find that hard to believe. I know that you left with memories and know that God, Bob and I love you....Nothing will ever change that.

This was my wonderful, beautiful great grandmother whom I was named after & I will miss her dearly. I will always remember the positive things about her life like how she was always a ham for the camera, had expensive taste [that's one of the things she passed down to me], and always dressed to impress, even to get the mail [in her silk matching pajamas]. I love her so much and I'll miss her every day.

She was the best grandmother anyone could ever want or ask for. She will always be in my heart and in my thoughts. I only regret not being there for her more!!
