Dear Grandma,
It’s been too long since I last talked to you and I wish I would’ve made more effort to talk. I was always “too busy” to talk on the phone with anyone and I truly regret not being more communicative. I love you so much and cherish all my memories made with you and Grandpa. I think it is wonderful (in a bittersweet way) that you went home on Grandpa’s 4th Heaven Re-Birthday. I know he was happy to meet you at the gates. I love you so much and always have.
Love, Sherry

My Dear Sweet Auntie Arlinda, how sad I am this day to know you are no longer in my world! I
can barely process or comprehend. I know that your new world is wonderful for you, and I know that Uncle Tom welcomed you with open arms. You always had a story, a smile, a laugh, and a hug for all. And if you had an opinion, you shared it, and I loved that about you. You loved your family hard. You raised wonderful children that I am proud to call my cousins. I thank you for them. You will not, are not truly gone, as we will keep your memory alive. You will still be, will always be with us. You will never be forgotten. We will tell stories. We will smile. We will laugh. We will hug. We will cry. We may even share an opinion or two. Thank you for loving me and my babies. On Angel’s Wings now Auntie, on Angel’s Wings your beautiful soul takes flight😚

Love, Your Niece Teener Wiener😔😢💔❤🙏
