grandma always loved when Rhonda came to visit she was always smiling and excited ready to interact. When I look at Debbie and Rhonda I see grandma in them. It's amazing to see how much she meant to you two and how she has influenced both you.

My thoughts and prayers are with the family during this difficult time.  May she rest in peace.

I always called her grandma even though she wasn't really my grandma I always felt like I was with family when I visited. Grandma will be greatly missed!!!! I'll never forget all the fun times we had growing up with her. From time to time Rhonda and I tell each other, "squish the bug!!! Just mash it!!!" ...she always knew how to make us laugh.

You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.  Sending you love and peace.

Dear Rhonda and Debbie, 
   I'm sorry for your loss. I know that grandma was a huge part of both of your lives. I'm sure it's hard to let her go. She was a fun, wise lady and she will be missed. I'm glad I got to meet her. She will always be remembered. Please let me know if you need anything in your time of grief. I'm thinking of you both. 
   Love, drea

Debbie and Rhonda please know you are in my prayers. May the Lord fill you with peace in knowing that she is in a better place. God Bless...Love,Donna

Since you became my mother-in-law nearly 48 years ago, I've known you to be a kind and giving person and one of quiet strength overcoming some serious obstacles with much Grace. I thank you for giving me Sam, the love of my life.
I know your strong faith has brought you to a place of peace and rest. I love you.

Your loss is shared with many of your friends. She was a wonderful lady and blessed you with her love and caring ways. Keep her in you heart forever and always.

Annie Barnes Elliston, Wayne Elliston and Diann Elliston Gilmore and families send our most heartfelt condolences to Debbie and Dorothy and their families.  Mama wants me to tell you both that she loves you and we all wish we could be there with you.  Mama always told me that she thought I looked some like Aunt Gertrude.  Maybe that is why I felt close to her.  Please know that you are in our thoughts and prayers.  We will stay in touch.  May the peace of Christ be with you now and always.  Love you --- Aunt Ann, Wayne and Diann and families

So sorry for your loss.....She was always so kind to us when we came to visit Melissa and Samantha.....May the peace of our Lord and Savior surround you at this time....

Be strong in the faith of the lord and know that she is in a better place

You taught me the value of things. We can't always get what we want. Have to work hard in order to get what you want
Ex. When I was little the only way you would give me a piece of your gum if I ate a tomato. Even though I hates them I ate one just to get some gum. Lol 
you will be miss but I know you are in a better place with lots of meat for you to eat. Love you grandma say hi to sam for me.

Remember the good and keep her in your heart

Grandma, I love you and you will always be in my heart forever. You will be missed more than you know.
