Granny,
It's so hard to process you are really gone. You have gave all of us so much in life to be Thankful for. I remember just like yesterday walking to Sunday school in our Sunday best and you would always have mints. Those were early memories, then as life continued we made memories with our family, even as you grew weaker and ill. I will always miss the fact I could say something silly and you would smile or give me the look. Your influence of the Lord had a lasting impression on your whole family. You have been a positive role model and am blessed we had you for the time we did. I will miss how I could tell you anything and you never judged me, you always loved me for just the way I am. As hard as it is to let you go I can only imagine how it feels to be in Heaven. You were the best Grandmother a girl could ask for, Thank you for being mine. Cole and I will miss you with our whole hearts. God Bless Your Beautiful Soul. We Love you so much. Karen & Cole
