Granny, I don't know what i'm going to do without you. Coming to your house and telling you all my stories.I don't know who i'm going to tell now. I'll miss going to the nursing home and you looking straight at me and smiling every time i walked in your room. I love you very much and always will. I'm glad i was there when you went. I know i was your closest grandchild but the others love you very much. Everyone misses and loves you very much already. I love you granny. I wish you were still with us today to see the whole family together again. You are in a better place now and that's what matters. I love you very much. Keep an eye on all of us.

Where do I begin, I met you when I was 14 and you welcomed me and treated me as your own daughter right from the beginning and for several years to come. You held my hand as I was bringing Ash into this world never flinching as I know I was hurting you, lol, You were there when we brought Felicia home from the hospital and helped me learn how to be a mom, you always had time to listen, and always had time for your grandkids. You were there for me thru some very rough times, never abandoning me, so many great memories, our trips to Kansas City to go to Ottens with little Don, all the camping, fishing, playing cards, you are such a special lady, I have never and will never forget all that you did for me and you will never know how much you mean to me. Not a day went by that I didn't think of you and miss you thru all these years. I love you and miss you mom, p.s. give uncle earl a big hug for me, and grandma, grandpa Roberts. Rest in peace. I will always keep our memories we shared deep in my heart.
