To a wonderful, loving, caring, & generous lady whom I had many years of love & laughter. Being the Grandmother of my son Jeremy, we enjoyed sharing stories & keeping up to date on all his adventures in the military which she could relate too & showed so much pride in all he did. She especially liked hearing about her Great Granddaughters, Sadie, Sydnie, & Sophie. She provided each one with her beautiful afghans especially disigned for them with love in every stitch. I love you my Mother in-love & I will miss you terribly, especially that cute giggle of yours! Resting in HIS arms, till we meet with HIM, XO

Grandma, I miss you so much. I cannot believe our time together on earth is over. You were such a wonderful influence in my life and the lives of my girls. May God bless you and may you rest in peace. I love you.

Grandma is eating bacon, chocolate cake and drinking gallons of milk. Enjoy this day with her memories. Keep warm with all your blankets she made for you. Treasure all the great stories and warm affection she had for all of us. We will truly miss her. She needed Grandpa. Love, Renee
