Grandma,

I will never forget the story about the day that I came home from the hospital. Mom has told me so many times with joy in her voice about the drive home.

She told me that you were so busy looking at your first grandchild, that you ran a red light. To this day, I hold special memories of us together. The cinnamon candies and the trips to the grocery store...where both of us dressed up in our best.

The summers on Walnut street where I tried to fry an egg on the sidewalk and scare the cats out of the tree next door.

The baby doll with the locket around it's neck. The picture of me as an infant inside it. To the high chair that the doll now sits in with pride and love.

Thank you for a lifetime of memories that I will hold in my heart forever,
Tammy

Grandma,

You were the perfect grandma and nobody could have ever asked for a better one. I'm so sorry that I could not be there for you at the end.

I feel better though...knowing how much you loved me and that you knew how much I loved you. I miss you so much, but through the tears...I know that you are in a better place with Grandpa and that God is watching over you.

I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for being such a wonderful mother-in-law.  I came into your life one cold day in December, 1963.  You and George treated me like one of your own children.  Your love and kindness has never been forgotten.  I share tears with my children and Elizabeth with your passing.  However, I am comforted by the fact that you are with your Heavenly Father and George now.  Cheryl, George, Joyce, Karen, Carol and grandchildren, you are in my thoughts and prayers.  I am sorry for your loss.

I am so thankful for the memories that I have being there with her in her final days. Holding her hand and talking to her will always be treasured. Aunt Cheryl thank you for opening up your home to me and Elizabeth while we were up there. I love you and am so sorry for your loss. Even though I can't be there for the funeral. I am praying for you.

I am devestated by what the string of events has become... Even though I have lost her she still remains in my memories and to know that I could help pick out what she was going to wear in her final resting place... That means alot too. Being able to see her before was hard but it was closure at least I know she is dancing with her husband in heaven.

Isaiah 25:8:  He will actually swallow up death forever, and the Sovereign Lord Jehovah will certainly wipe the tears from all faces. And the reproach of his people he will take away from all the earth, for Jehovah himself has spoken [it].

Revelation 21: 3, 4: " With that I heard a loud voice from the throne say: “Look! The tent of God is with mankind, and he will reside with them, and they will be his peoples. And God himself will be with them. 4 And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.”
