Just to let you know that my thoughts and prayers are with you always. A mother's love is something special the bond between mother, child, and God, there no other great miracle on earth that measures up. But God is the ruler over all things, that is to include our hearts....when we are weary and need to lean on Him, he is always there. In the comfort of your memories may it bring peace to you during your time of need to vast in the years that you shared with your loving mother. My sympathy to you and your family, may God bless you always.

Grandma,

You were such an amazing woman with the biggest smile all the time. I remember when we would go to lunch and "do a little shopping" ~as you would say. I remember walking to Wendy's or to King Soopers. It was always so nice to have our little talks and enjoy each other!

You have raised such a wonderful son who I am so proud to have as my Father. I see the things that you and Grandpa have taught him, and he has now passed on to all of us kids. You will be greatly missed, but I know you will be watching down on all of us.

I love you Grandma!

~Beth

Great Grandma,

Thank you so much for letting me check on you when you were sick. No matter how many times I Opened and shut the door you would always smile and laugh with me. You are the BEST great grandma ever! I love you!

Grandma,
What a sweet and beautiful lady. I really enjoyed going shopping and out to lunch with you. We always had so much fun. You were like hanging out with my girlfriends the way we laughed and giggled all the time. You were so young at heart. Dad had said something at your funeral that really got me thinking a lot about you. He said that you told him when you was younger if he did not have something nice to say then he should not say anything at all. These were the words that you lived very graciously by. I never, ever, heard you say anything bad or negative about anyone or anything. You were always so sweet, kind, and loving. I thank you for loving me and accepting me as your grandaughter . I love you and will miss you greatly!!

Grandma -

I will always have great memories of my childhood with you. I still remember the walks down to the 7-11 down on the corner from the house on circle drive. I'm really going to miss you, but am extremely grateful I got the chance to have you in my life for as long as I did. I love you. - Eric

Mom,
I'm sure you were watching the great tribute Mike put together for you with pride in your eyes! You were a great mom to him and he is a wonderful son to you! I promise you I will be good to him and always be there for him so that you can rest in peace. Thank-you for all the good times we had shopping together and having lunch with laughter. All our fun trips to Vegas with my mom and you will always be in my heart. I wish we could have met earlier in our lives but atleast we did get to spend time together and know each-other. Thank-you for being so good to me and being part of my life. I love you. Teri

I am not sure the words "thank you" and "I love you" entirely and properly summarize what I want to say to you right now, Grandma. I do hope you are aware of the mark you have made in my life. You always knew when it was right to speak or just listen and your thoughtful ways of reaching out to people, even those who did not ask for help, never went unnoticed and always put a smile on my face. I feel such a great loss but your sweet voice (I can hear your laugh now) and unique character will resonate in my air daily.

I love you and thank you, your grandson, Nicholas

Mom, you were such a special person to me. You probably didn’t even realize the kind of affect you had on me over the years. I have countless examples of how your strong moral compass helped me get through the stormy seas of life’s ups and downs. You taught me a unique blend of honesty, responsibility, compassion and love.

I know where you are right now. You are in God’s Heavenly Kingdom celebrating your wonderful, virtuous life along with your parents, brothers and sisters who have watched you over the years with great pride and happiness.

Mom, you are the best mother I ever could have asked for. I thank God for giving you to me. I’m suffering an inexpressible feeling of loss and sadness, but I will live the rest of my life with your memory and your example.

I’ll see you soon Mom. Thank you for everything.

I Love you very much, your son, Mike.
