My heart was crushed the minute I received the phone call of your passing. I cherish the time we had together and nothing can replace it. You always had a smile to greet anyone and that makes you a very special person. Full of love and affection regardless of the situation. I love you grandma, now and forever. Wish we had more time together talking pictures and talking. I have peace in my heart knowing that the lord received one of his angels with open arms.

Oh grandma I don’t know how we are ever going to be the same, now that you are gone. I do know that you did a great job on teaching us how we need to love one another and how important family really is. To believe in God and know that he will always love you no matter what. Finally there is never a bad time to take a picture, even if you have a mouth full of food. Oh grandma there is never going to be a day that I don’t think of my sweet grandma.
Sorry we cannot be there with you at this time of your great sadness. our thoughts and prayers are with you.
Thank you grandma for dedicating so much of you’re life to the family. Holding the glue together and sharing memories that will last a lifetime. You’ve had shown us how to love and to have faith when times are bad and to be thankful for when times are good. My favorite memory with grandma is I was a young kid, we would spend the night with all of my cousins, grandma spoiled us rotten. She shared wonderful stories of the past, loved playing cards and taking pictures. She also loved yellow roses, it was her favorite! May her soul rest in peace and her loving memory stay with us all. Love you grandma!
I am saddened by your loss, please know you are in my thoughts and prayers.
