Dear Grammie Katie
You will greatly be missed! You were more of a mother than a great grandmother to me. I always looked to you for advice, and some how had a way of making things seem ok when things were falling apart! Thank you for always believing in me and standing by my side no matter what! I know that you are definitely an angel and that you will help to guide me through the rest of my life!! Tell my Mom & Dad I said hey and I miss them also! I know these coming days are gonna be tough, but I know you are in a better place!
Love Courtney, Lawrence, Ariella Ebner
