I miss you. I was blessed with a beautiful grandmother. I enjoyed sitting next to you at church while you handed me lemon cough drops to keep me quiet as a child. You taught me to sew and quilt and clean and cook. You let me live with you when I came home from the Army and you were great to my children. We love and apprciated having such a wondeful lady as our grandmother and great grandmother. I know how you missed grandpa after he passed from cancer but you are with grandpa again and happy and in peace. I will see you both again when my life ends and we will enjoy eturnity together. I love you grandma and grandpa.
To all my aunts and uncles….I’m so sorry for the loss of your wonderful Mother/my precious Grandmother. She will be greatly missed by all.
Love you all…..April 🙂
