I've known you for 15 yrs. But you made me fill like I had known you my whole life, you were the most unselfish person, you always thought of others before yourself, you were a compass to guide all the kids and grandkids and you will be missed, but I'm sure Ray and Shelley will greet you with open arms,I will never forget you love Jake.

Grandma, tomorrow is the day we celebrate you and the life that you, the most wonderful woman lived. It's going to be the saddest day of our lives and although you wouldn't want us to be sad we're going to be because we will never be able to see you again, I'm glad you'll be with us in spirit and looking down over all of us protecting us. I'll miss your beautiful shining face grandma, you are now our angel up in heaven. Everywhere I go I see your smiling face granny, it makes me smile but sad at the same time that I can't hug you. I know that your at peace and reunited with our other family members, so I know that makes you happy, therefore it makes me happy. I love you Grammy.

I know you are finally at peace now that you are in heaven surrounded by loved ones that passed before us! We have had you for so long and your work here is now done! It's time to be reunited with your daughter and grandpa! I'm sure they are so excited! You'll never know how much you've meant to all of us. Each and everyone of us had such a special and unique relationships with you! You were not just a mother and grandmother, you were our best friend! I'm saddened that I will never hear you tell me "lace up them boots girl and keep a trucking" I love you so much and I'll never forget you!

I know you're gone but you surely won't be forgotten. Your memory will be in our hearts forever. I'm proud of the fight that you put up the last few months and I know it was all worth the fight because now you're at peace and with the Lord. I love you so much and I'm happy for all the good times we had and im very blessed to have had such a wonderful mother. Save a seat for me because I'll be there with you one day. I'm going to miss having coffee, taco johns and gambling with you mother. You were not only my mother but also my best friend and no one can ever replace you. I'll miss you so much mother..you will always be in my heart, thoughts and prayers forever and ever, amen! Thank you for never giving up on me, I'm happy to know that I was able to make it up to you at the end. You were not only my mother but was a mother to everyone, you have many people that love you dearly. Love you mommy, your still my queen. Love always your loving daughter Bo.

God looked around his garden and found an empty space. He looked down upon this earth and found your tired face. He put his arms around you and lifted you to rest. Gods garden must be beautiful, he only takes the best.

Let your loving soul live on through all of us, you were the greatest grandma that taught each and every one of us one thing or another, you were a loving mom, friend, sister, grandmother...you will never be forgotten Grammy.
