Id like to extend my most sincere condolences to the family for the loss of this great beloved woman. I may not have known her personally but do you know how I know she was a great lady? She was held in such high praise from her daughter Jeanette and I could feel the love she had for her momma. I know she has a huge hole in her heart, as do you all, but I hope and pray that with all the shared love and memories of her that she will always be alive in your
hearts. I'm so sorry,

I miss you so much grandma 😞 I want to believe that youre in heaven with grandpa, aunt Hellene, and with those youve missed for so long that you called family. Im still in disbelief that youre gone. Youre really gone 😢 Ive tried preparing myself for when the time comes to have to lay you down to rest. I guess you never can truly prepare yourself to put someone that you love so dearly and close to your heart lay to rest. Thinking about it hurts even more. Kiddos miss you too grandma. They love you very much! I know well be together again someday. Rest in peace grandma 🙏
