Grama, 
I believe I hear you singing with the angels as I try to sleep and think of you. 
I don’t know what to say other than you will be missed so very much. I’m happy that you are no longer suffering, but sad that you had to leave us so soon.  I love you, forever & always
Your lil girl
April 

My dear Grama,  I will never forget spending  The night at your house with Papa, Rick, dinky or tiny. You used to tell me and Rick to quiet down because the little toy poodle would come in and lick our faces as we tried to sleep, we giggled and giggled throughout the night. Then you would do my hair in Shirley Temple curls and take me to Bible school at church. I will miss your carrot salad, your coconut cake, and your pineapple upside down cake.  You were my mother when my parents were absent.  I remember being 3 years old and calling the operator to find you and PaPa when I couldn’t find my dad, you were there in just a few minutes.  Just to find out Daddy was at his friends house across the yard.  I miss staying the summers with you and eating cases of native California tomatoes, I won’t miss the pimples I got from it though, lol.  Between you, and Aunt Cathy, I knew what a mom was supposed to be, and forgave my mom because she was too young and jealous of us kids to know how to be the best one. You were the highest Matriarch of our family, and I always came to you for advice.  I’ve missed you for some time, things haven’t been the same for a while.  I hope that you fly with the angels, and watch over us all.  Persuade us to be the best person we can be, and forgive those that need it .  We only have one family by blood, we should remain arm in arm, with love and peace in our heart. You taught me that the last time I saw you.  I miss you everyday.  I love you, Say hello to Brenda Ann, Mike, PaPa, Daddy and Ron for me. Xoxoxo
