My sweet Grandma,  I’m thinking of you extra today and most recently. It’s coming up on 4 years since you’ve been gone. I miss the sound of your voice, your excited tone and loud way you’d say my name when I called you or stopped by. Your huge smile with some kind of bright shade of lipstick on your lips and sometimes your teeth! I can still hear the sound of your laughter. 

I can feel you around me sometimes and I know you’re still watching over me, my guardian Angel. I see your spirit fly by my window and peek in through the red cardinals in my backyard. I hear you through the little radio of yours via the only station it will seem to play, the one I cannot understand well, because it’s in Spanish. I cherish the memories and the parts of you I didn’t know that you saved in that little lavender box. 

I just miss you Grandma. I love you! I hope in heaven you’re smiling down on us. I hope you are laughing and dancing in the sky with Mandi, Wesley, Candy, yes even with Lance, and my father. Let them know how much I miss and love them, too.  

Here’s a picture of Gracie Lynn. She’s 5 now and going to kindergarten soon. You’d be proud of her! 

I’ll talk again soon... love you!  I’m going to enjoy this beautiful day we have here. I love you forever and always! - Lisa 

Happy Mother's day mom this was our first mothers day without you and you are dearly missed.  You were a wonderful mother to your three girls, grandmother and great-grandmother.  You had a big heart.. I'll love you forever and will never a day go by without memories of you. Rest in peace Mom until we meet again! I'll love you for all time.

Missing you very much and wish you could be here with all your daughters and grandchildren, and great grandchildren to celebrate what a special mother you have been to so many of us. I love you grandma.

Thank you for always praying for us and asking the Good Lord to protect us.  It was a great joy to have you meet Aurora and will always treasure the pictures we have of her and you.  Your were a guiding light and I will never forget you.

Deme I will always remember how loving and extremely kind you were to me. I meant it from my heart when I told you I wanted you as my mom.  Your beautiful smile and sprit will be missed so much.  Just as you always wanted the guardian angels to watch over me -- I pray that the good lord and his angels keep a close watch over you.   Alicia

Mom you were my angel, my life.. You will forever be missed.. You loved me unconditionally and accepted me for who I am without judgement you understood me..

It was in Gods plan and it was an honor to have taken the journey with you Mom.. Missing you so.. I will cherish the memories forever.. May you rest in peace until we meet again! I Love you.. Your daughter Becky

Grandma, I was so incredibly blessed to have met you and only wished we could have been able to see you one more time and let you meet your newest great-granddaughter Ivy. I am so glad you met Willow last year! I will always remember how you wished for the guardian Angels to always protect us! You loved your family so much! May you rest in peace! I love you

Abuela, I love and miss you so much.  I'm so sorry I didn't make it down quick enough to see you and introduce you to Ivy.  She is so cute you would love her.  I am so blessed to have so many memories of the laughter we shared and many wonderful times we had together.  You will forever have a place in my heart and I will never forget you and especially the example you set for us.  Love you ... Your grandson

There are not enough words to describe this beautiful lady. My Mother's best friend for 57 years and always like a second mother to me. She loved life and life loved her. A heart of pure gold and a smile that would light up the room. We are so blessed to have had her in our lives and she will be forever missed.  Love you mucho: Mae, Dianna, Glenn and Patrick.

Grandma, you'll be forever missed. I can't believe you're gone. You gave to all of us, to everyone. You were always so selfless and thought of only your family and friends. I wish I could talk to you and make sure you knew how much you're loved. Rest in peace forever more.
