I have many fond memories of summers and Christmases spent with my grandmother in North Carolina. Being her only Grandson for 17 years she Spoiled Me lol. Whether it was a Simple Oreo Cookie from the kitchen in the house on nolan road or a big package sent to me for Christmas, Easter, or my birthday. I always looked forward to hearing from her. As I got older I may not have called or wrote to her as much as I should have but I did love her very much. Even though she is no longer with us I'm positive that she is happy to be with Grandpa and My Uncle Dave. RIP Grandma I love you. Your Grandson, XOXOXO

Many, many tears will come and go, but the love for your mother will continue to grow. A family blossoms with a mother's love and what a beautiful bouquet Beverly's 4 boys and a girl have made.

Dan,
I'm so sorry to hear about your Mom, she was always great to everyone as we were messing up Hillcrest. Sounds like she was in a place where they took good care of her, Hospice is great. Take care of each other and give her a wonderful send off.
