Instead of a condolence, I would like to share some of the great memories I have of my Grandma Jackie. First and foremost, you ALWAYS reminded me of how precious I was in your heart, and how much you loved not only me, but all of your grandkids and family. You introduced me to Ramen Noodles (which is a great thing). Instead of giving us kids money for birthdays and Christmas, you ensured we spent quality TIME together. It wasn't the money you spent on us, but the fact that you wanted to ensure we knew you truly cared about what was important to us, and that you were every part of making that happen. When that horrible fire took your home, I remember being so sad, but happy that no one got hurt. I remember how hard it was for you, not because all of your "things" were gone, but because all of our photos, the memories we had, and your fathers flag were gone. That just shows the kind of woman you were and always will be in my heart. You never wanted anything from anyone. You loved Super Market Sweep, your comfy chair, and spending time with your family. You loved the memories, the photos, the accomplishments, those special moments we will always cherish, the holidays together, the one time a year you could bring me to CDS for a day to work with you (I loved those days, I felt so important). So, Thank You. For being the Grandma that I will forever cherish in my heart, that I was lucky enough to share all of those amazing memories with, and the memories I will continue to keep forever and ever. I hope one day when I am a Grandma, I can live up to the greatness you always provided for me as your grand-daughter. I am sad our relationship is now only spiritual, but I know your heart is full knowing you can be with all of us, all the time watching over us. I love you Grandma.
