To Isabelle' s dear family,
She was such a wonderful aunt to all of us!  Each year she remembered us at Christmas by sending a card with a long message, which I shared with Ginny and Buck.   We were in awe of her zest for life, and her deep love and gratitude to you all.  We will miss her, and thank our Lord for her long years of caring about all of us. 
With our love to each of you,  Bonnie

Isabelle was what I want to be…so full of life, joy, laughter and love.  She was always dressed to the 9’s, always had a smile on her face and a welcoming, joyful heart to one and all.  She will be missed but I will eternally feel grateful for knowing her and for the time she was part of my life.  Rest in peace, my dear Isabelle! 

May I 

May I be a devoted wife
May I be a mom to 7
May I be a grandma to 10
May I be a great grandmother to 16
May I be a sister
May I be an Aunt 
May I be a friend to so many
May I cook this meal
May I feed the squirrels 
May I whistle with the birds
May I sun at Field five
May I hold that baby
May I have this dance
May I paint my nails
May I buy this 
May I buy that
May I wear this watch
May I create this outfit
May I throw this strike
May I scratch this ticket
May I pull this lever
May I watch over you in heaven
Yes, yes, yes May I. 

Isabelle was always a sweet, kind lady. She told it how it was. I loved her spirit and her tenacious attitude towards living her life to the fullest, and to be nothing short of excellently dressed ;). I admired her for those reasons. Age was a non factor in her life. A genuine, loving and fun person. I’m sure she’s bowling in heaven. <3

I didn’t know you that well but from what I did know was that you were a wonderful mother.  I will miss your daily calls with Susan. I know she adored you with all her heart.  Just from listening to Susan speak to you, I can tell you had an amazing relationship. You will be surely missed. Rest In Peace Isabelle. Prayers for all of your family that they stay strong and lean on each other for comfort and support. 

Mama Isabelle was one of the best people I've ever known.  We all went to the same church.  Mama Isabelle taught me how to make French toast back on the  '60's and to this day when I make it I praise her.  What a wonderful woman and mother - love her to the moon and back ♥♥♥

My Dearest Pocket Sized World,
You were tiny. But boy, were you mighty.  Grandma, you will forever be the light of my life. You taught me more than I can begin to thank you for. Your positivity was beyond influential and your ability to laugh at yourself was truly humbling.  You had an incredible sense of youthful exuberance till the end. These are the qualities you blessed our beautiful, loving family with and I will do my best to carry them on.  Thank you for loving me the way you did and for putting me in my place every once in a while.  I miss your smile and think of you daily. I love you Grammy.

Our family has been richly blessed in more ways than one can possibly count or capture. The greatest blessings here on earth were given through our parents that raised us with love, kindness, integrity, a core belief in God and our Country, thankfulness for a warm bed, safety, food in our bellies and the peace that comes from knowing we have always been 'loved and valued unconditionally'. 

My Mother, Isabelle showed us the value in laughing at yourself, in dancing to your favorite song, in having fun and being active well into your old age, in cooking homemade favorites for those we love,  loving God's creatures, in enjoying a fragrant flower, listening to the ocean crashing on the shore, knowing that even a small seashell can be a precious treasure, the joy of celebrating Christmas for more than a day, and a million other things that made her, my favorite person. There is no way I could love her more than I already do. 

I thank God for her and will rejoice when I get to heaven and she greets me once again with the most beautiful loving smile I know! 
She is now up in heaven with our Savior, Jesus Christ, praising Him and dancing with joy, along with her life-long beloved husband, Bob and with so many people that she loved and 'temporarily lost'. God IS Good and she is in paradise! 

My Dearest Mom,
You will Forever be in my Heart & Soul.  I will Miss you Everyday for the Rest of my Life.  It was you that made me the person I am today and I Thank you for it.  You were the most Loving, Caring and Thoughtful Mother to me and I will never forget the lessons in life that you taught me.  Till we meet again Rest in Peace.  
Love You and Miss You, Susan

Mom,  Every memory of you brings a smile to my face.  You were so loved and will be missed terribly.  We are all so grateful that we had so many wonderful years with your beautiful outlook on life.  Your outlook on life brought us all so much joy.  I will miss our Birthday celebrations,  you always said you had wished I was born one day sooner.. I cannot think of a day where you didn't bring us to laughter.  You are my Idol,  and I know that so many people agree with me.  God Bless you MOM.  I will miss you everyday of my life.    Your Daughter Patti,
