I remember the time that you gave me money to get candy at Lee Town Supermarket and the you were doing laundry and you had to chase Sam the black pug because he took a Bounce Sheet out of the dryer and was going to eat it. I remember when I spent the night and the next morning I always had a bowl of Cookie Crisp. I remember all the fun times. I miss and love you and remember our love of Cadbury Eggs on Easter.

GrandMa , I love you deeply. the thing's I learned from you are so vast. I had to smile when my Daughter mentions your fancy kiss's as I too grew up receiving them. For Bessie it was black jelly beans at Easter, For me it was Chocolate covered cherries at Xmass. I Miss and Love You.

My grandma was the most kind,thoughtful and loving woman. Always putting others first. Taking care of my grandpa so he would not have to go to a nursing home. Sharing our love of black jelly beans. Loving all of us with big open arms. Hosting all of our family holidays and birthdays. I shall cherish all of my childhood memories that you helped create. I love you Grandma Alice to the moon and back.
