Meghan, So sorry you have lost your grandma.I only met her once and she was beautiful and dressed to the nines, and had a great smile. Keep her in your heart and she will always be here. Love to you and your family.
I'm so very blessed to have spent a small amount of time with grandma Grace!!!
Praying for all of you!!!!
Sherrie we are so sorry for your loss but are also happy she is in the right place now. You have many memories and should be so proud you were able to have her with you till the end.. Will need to visit sometime.
I loved when Grace and I would cross paths. Her wit and sense of humor will be missed.
We feel very glad to have known Grace,and had time to visit with her and enjoy her conversation and humor. She leaves behind very special and loving, caring people that are so important in our lives today. She had such class and personality, and she will always be in many of our hearts.
I must say that she was so very fortunate to have such a wonderful daughter taking such good care of her for the past years. She has to be very proud looking down from Heaven at you Sherrie. You were her blessing. Truly!!
Our love to all your Family.
Grace White was a beautiful lady inside and out. I am so blessed to have known her and been her friend at Cathedral Baptist Church. She cared for others and was always ready to serve.
We loved our Grandma White and will miss her very much. She had such a great sense of humor and could always get the whole family laughing. I'm grateful for all the memories. I think of her being back together with Grandpa now, both of them smiling down on all of us. She'll always be in our hearts.
All our love, Meghan Bernadot & family
God bless you, Grandma White. I will always remember you for your impeccable style, quick wit and your gracious "thank you" notes. Love you and miss you. I pray you are at peace, surrounded by love.
Patti Bassett and myself regret that we can't come today. We are both sick with sinus and bronchial problems.
It was true joy to know Grace, Bill, and their family. Patti truly loved the sweet kindness that Grace seemed to be so full of.
We look forward to a homecoming day that we see them again.
To her family, be proud.
With Christian love,
Bob & Patti Bassett
Such a fine sweet Christian lady !! Loved serving our Lord with her at Cathedral Baptist Church in Jonesboro, AR
