Isy,
You've been like a sister to me since 1943. So thankful we got to spend the last year of your life together. I will miss you everyday. Say hello to Joe and Tony for me; and remind God that I don't mind Him taking me, too; just don't want Him taking me in pieces. :))

Grandma,

There are no words extraordinary enough to describe the life you lived. There are no words profound enough to explain  the strength you taught me. There are no words great enough to behold the love you've showed me over the course of my life. 
Our memories boogie boarding, cuddling while watching lightning, watering the garden, and shopping until your double D tootsie rolls refused to let anymore bathing suits squeeze over them - will forever reign in my heart. You've been my only grandma and the absolute best one I could ever ask for. 
Your strength. 
Your generosity. 
Your kindness. 
Your wisdom. 
Your beauty. 
Your tenacity. 
Your HUGS. 
You will be missed in your entirety and in all your parts. Yet, I promise you, you will live on. 
Love You Grandma. So much.

My Sunshine...thank you for the time we shared together. We had a lot of good times. Shared our stories, our laughter and our tears. I have missed you so much since we parted and wished to stop and see you so many times but knew it would have only made it harder. Now you are gone but Never forgotten, you have gone home to Joe and I know you are Happy. Thank you My Sunshine for being so special in my life and treating me like family. Forever Loved and missed:(

Grandma issy I'm so thankful that I met you and your great smile!!!! Nothing can compare with your loving family I know we'll see each other again

Grandma Izzy, You welcomed us (Gutierrez Family) into your beautiful home and family. You loved Jade like she was one of your grandkids and by far gave the best hugs in the world! I will rejoice knowing you are resting and painting with Pops and Grandpa Joe

Grandma, you taught me the definition of generosity not by words but all by action. Even as hard as you worked since you were a child, you never saw what you had as yours but as the family's, and I will forever hold on to and carry on that legacy for my family. Your strength and unending, selfless love will continue to ripple through the generations to come. I still have the video of you watering your garden at 91 years old! You never stopped moving, nurturing, or working to make all things well around you. I am so blessed and honored to carry on the name Isabel. I will do all I can to serve it justice. All things are well and I know you are in heaven doing your happy dance with your two favorite men. Until I see you again, please give my daddy and papa my love. I love you Grandma forever and always. 
Love always, Your Ciara Isabel

Mom,I hope your at peace. I will do everything in my power to keep my promise to do right by you and Daddy and your family. 
I loved you. Shirley ann

Gramma,

Remember that one time you found out I had been sleeping on the floor of a barren Chicago apartment during my internship? Yeah, me too. I also remember you banging on my door exactly two days later, telling me to grab my coat because my dad was ready to drive us to Target. I could barely keep up as you drove that red, crappy, three-wheeled shopping cart around the store like it was a miniature Porsche. When it was full, you told me to go get another one. When that one was full, you rightly reasoned that the full-size rental SUV would be at capacity. So, we checked out; you made them open an entire check stand just for us. My dad and I just looked at each other and laughed. And laughed. And laughed some more. We ended up making four round trips to and from that Target. On the fourth and final, the manager declined your card because he worried it was stolen. But it didn't take long for him to realize he had met his match. Again, you would not take no for an answer, making him except company-wide policy only a short time thereafter.

I love this story not only because it warms my heart to remember both you and my dad in the wake of both of you passing, but also because it is just so classic you. So generous. So loving. So silly. So determined. And I was so humbled. I kept saying, Thank you, Gramma. You kept saying, You're welcome, Chason. AGAIN. Finally, you wrapped your arms around me, almost breaking my thoracic vertebrae with one of your famously strong hugs. We partially separated only for you to pull me back in slightly, look me in the eyes, and say, Remember, this stuff isn't free. It's going to be paid for by hard work. Promise me you'll finish grad school. I leaned heavily on that promise during the tough times, and I remain grateful you made me commit to it. I shall always remember and honor that model you gave all of us  the way you so diligently worked to take care of those you loved. So classic you.

Gramma,
I came to you a DO-er...just as you once had been, but were no longer able. Together, we faced the frustrations of being idle and feeling worth-less because of it. Together, we learned the art of simply BE-ing...discovering our value and the incredible gift we give others by being there, being present, being grateful, and being kind. 

You left me a better person. I'm forever grateful.

Grandma, 
I met you at the very end of the long road you had traveled through this worlda Divine Appointment, you might say. I needed youjust as much as you needed me. Perhaps it was because I never had grandparents of my own. Or maybe because I didn't get to witness the last year of my momma's lifeand being with you afforded me that do over I had often imagined.

You loved stuffed animals, real animals, football and boxingand we had these  in common.  I want to see a knockout, you would say, and move your seat to within two feet of the big screen.  God how I enjoyed that!

My singing is like fingernails on a chalk board; and yet, you always applauded my daily rendition of Morning has broken. What the heck, who's gonna clap for me now? 

You loved cherry pie, and I loved baking them. Yep, we were a match made on earth.

Just as you would always say, Isabel lights up the world when I flipped the switch to light up your portrait over the fireplace, you lit up my world, Gramma; and I'm taking your passing very hard. This big house you loved so much is grieving your loss as well. The emptiness is palpable here...and in my heart.   

I shall miss your nimble mind, subtle humor and mischievous personality; but most of all, I will miss the privilege of the type of relationship you allowed me to have with youright to the very end. My fingers were on your pulse as you left us. 

Thank you.  Thank you for taking me in and loving me like one of your own.

Rest in peace, Gramma. Rest in peace.

Grandma,
I am truly thankful to have had you in my life for 50 years! I will always cherish the memories that I have of you. Especially when we had our long talks while we walked on the beach together. Thank you for being such a wonderful, loving Grandmother.
 I love you & miss you very much! Gina ❤

Gramma, You called me your angel, I call you mine. Our year together...forever changed my life. We shared a love for hummingbirds...I think because we both hum all day long (smile). You are now my hummingbird in heaven, and I am yours on earth...till me meet again. In the mean time, try to be good, kay?

I see you doing back flips off the diving board.

I laugh as you declare barracuda time.

I smell the ocean air as we boogie board, hunt for shells, and run like a jack rabbit.

I can hear you applauding our dances, and grinning at the end of every ride.

I feel your pride with every oil painting and doll.

I hear you in the kitchen for hours, prepping for family gatherings.

I feel your childhood joy as you give gifts that you only dreamed of getting as a child.

We were angels for each other.

Thank you.
I love you. 
I will see you again. ❤

You were such a special Great-Grandma. 
I love you and will miss you. Thank you so much for 
all the kind things you have done for me. 
Love Alexa.

Great Grandma Isy,

All our walks on the beach looking for seashells, all the holiday dinners, the summer swimming in your pool...Thank you for being a wonderful Grandmother! I Love You Always!! Kristi
