Grandma, I miss you. Thank you for taking care of me when I was little. I loved when I spent the night with you and granpda and you would tell the stories of the three little pigs and the three bears. You would let me sleep in one of your nightgowns and in the morning we would kiss grandpa goodbye at the front door. I can still feel those sloppy kisses on my cheek from grandpa! It still makes me laugh thinking back at the times grandpa would be patiently waiting in the car for you, but he knew not to start driving off even when you sat in the car because you always forgot something! I think I inherited your memory, you come to mind whenever I do that too!I love you grandma.
Love Pamela

Angie-What a tribute to your Mom that your daughter, both sons, and both grand-daughters traveled all the way from Iowa to attend Jessie's services. I'm sure Jackson would have come too if he were just a little bit older! I know Jessie was happy to see all of you together.

Dear Comadre Rachel and family, I am so sorry to learn that your Mother has passed. My prayers and condolences are with all of you and your family. Just remember her as the wonderful person she was. It is very hard to lose your Mom, but, just know that she is now with the Lord and he is very happy to have such a wonderful lady by his side. She is now with her husband and other family who have gone on before us. She is in heaven and enjoying all of the wonderful world she is now in.
May God give all of you the comfort and peace that you all need at this time. God is great, and you should all thank Him for having given her to you for such a long time. Just know that she is not suffering and is in a better place.
God bless all of you. I will be praying for all of you.
