If my life were a movie you that were watching, My Gramma, My Godmother, would be the leading lady. She taught me things like: when you clean, clean like you are cleaning for company; be the bigger person and walk away; act like a lady; accept what you cannot change people; never lie, a liar cannot be trusted...and most importantly, dragonflies sew your eyes shut! :)
.
I cannot remember a time in my life that My Gramma did not play a significant role. It is impossible for me to foresee the future without her in my life. Who am I going when I am cleaning out my microwave? .
.
My Gramma loves me...this I know. I will miss her with all my heart. XXOO - Sandi Jo.

Judy and Bill,
I was shocked to read of Julia's passing. I had such a nice visit with her at Jolene's memorial. She was a really nice lady and good mother and wife. Thoughts and prayers for her and the family.

I will always miss my Aunt Judy. She was always the fashion icon that I looked to for inspiration. Altho she kept it up to the very end and I kind of slacked off!! And I always remember riding in the convertable with her and Uncle Bill. What I want to know now is, who is going to do the fried chicken???? Have fun Aunt Judy with Mom and Grandma. Love from Pam

Uncle Bill and Family, we were so sorry to hear of Aunt Judy's passing. We are out of town and can't make the visitation Saturday. We wanted you to know that all three of my kids fondly remembered aunt Judy because you both were always "fixtures" at every family get together. Her grace and kindness will surely be missed. We love you and our prayers will be with you all.
