I've known you for 15 yrs. But you made me fill like I had known you my whole life, you were the most unselfish person, you always thought of others before yourself, you were a compass to guide all the kids and grandkids and you will be missed, but I'm sure Ray and Shelley will greet you with open arms,I will never forget you love Jake.

Grandma, tomorrow is the day we celebrate you and the life that you, the most wonderful woman lived. It's going to be the saddest day of our lives and although you wouldn't want us to be sad we're going to be because we will never be able to see you again, I'm glad you'll be with us in spirit and looking down over all of us protecting us. I'll miss your beautiful shining face grandma, you are now our angel up in heaven. Everywhere I go I see your smiling face granny, it makes me smile but sad at the same time that I can't hug you. I know that your at peace and reunited with our other family members, so I know that makes you happy, therefore it makes me happy. I love you Grammy.

I know you are finally at peace now that you are in heaven surrounded by loved ones that passed before us! We have had you for so long and your work here is now done! It's time to be reunited with your daughter and grandpa! I'm sure they are so excited! You'll never know how much you've meant to all of us. Each and everyone of us had such a special and unique relationships with you! You were not just a mother and grandmother, you were our best friend! I'm saddened that I will never hear you tell me "lace up them boots girl and keep a trucking" I love you so much and I'll never forget you!
