Laura said it perfectly. I still miss you to this day, Grandma. You were always there for me, the kindest and purest person I have ever known. We had so many great times, playing cards and board games, you attending every sporting event of mine, watching young and the restless together...among so many other unforgettable moments. LOVE YOU, Grandma. - Posted by: Angela (Granddaughter ) on: Jul 30, 2017

My dear Gram. It's hard to believe ten years have passed. You are still in my thoughts all the time. I miss your bright smile, your laugh, your soft and generous hugs. You are a constant presence in my life because of the life you lived, devoted to your family. You were the kindest and most gentle woman I have ever known and I love you with a fierceness that I wish more people would be privileged to experience. Thank you for the time we shared, especially the time that was ours alone. It was always special. I am so blessed to have had you as my grandmother, and my friend. xoxoxo Your Little Miss Adorable - Posted by: Laura (oldest granddaughter) on: Nov 22, 2015
