I LOVE YOU MOM
-
Granny is in many of my childhood memories. I remember being a little girl and going over to her house with my mom, dad, and brother Caleb. As soon as you walk in the door she had, i want to say, four dolls sitting out on a little bench in pretty dresses and every time I came over I’d ask to play with one and she would always let me pick one out to play with, and for all my upcoming birthdays I always got a little doll similar to the ones she had sitting out in front of her door.Love and miss you.
-
I love and miss you mommy from your baby daughter. I guess I will get to spend my birthday with you since you are being laid to rest on it. I will remember you every day til I see you again.

Our love and thoughts are with our family and the friends of our grandma. A grandchild couldn’t ask for a better grandparent.
