Thoughts From Those That Love Her

I am so grateful I got to call this incredible woman Grandma. I already miss bringing her ice cream, her sense of humor, and the undying love she had for her family. I love you always, Grandma.

I love you, Grams. Can't wait to see you again.

Say hello to Tom, he is on the back porch waiting for you Mom. She was da bomb. Strongest, most loving woman on God's green earth. Goodbye Mom.

A beautiful, funny, and strong woman! I was one of the lucky ones that got to call her grandma. Always have and always will look up to this wonderful woman with love, respect, and admiration. I hope I can grow up to be half the woman she was. I miss you already and love you always.

My hero in life has passed away. Oh how I will miss my wonderful mother.

I had the world's coolest grandma. Its hard to think about not having her in my life anymore. I'm so grateful to know that I will see her again someday. Thanks grandma!
