The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched. They must be felt with the heart. -- Author Unknown

Although I can't see Grandma's smiles or feel the warmth of her hugs, I have all of her love in my heart. I will hold on and treasure that forever.

LaRae- We never got a chance to thank you for all the cookies and candy you gave us for christmas. It was always a special present from you. We'll miss getting to play cards and dominos with you at the cabin and I will always look at the doily you made me for graduation and think of you. Mostly thank you for making us a part of your family, it means a lot to all of us. LaRae you will be sadly missed.

LaRae was a wonderful person - everyone considered her their best friend. She was so supportive of me when I was ill - I only wish I could have done for her - what she did for me.
