I love you, grandma. I will never forget all the games, all the trips to the pool and Dogpatch, going to church, and, especially, all the love. Your faith was absolutely inspirational.

What a wonderful woman - best mother, grandmother, mother-in-law and nurse in the world! I don't know how I would have survived without you those many years ago. I have always loved you and I always will - you always welcomed me with open arms and love when I had a chance to visit. Rest in peace, sweet lady - you so deserve it!
