Mom ,
I don't know how to explain how lost I feel,but my comfort is in knowing you and Dad are once again together.You and Dad taught my children how to believe in God, together you walked with them to many of the classes at the church they needed to go to. You was an amazing Mother to all four of us kids. I will always remember the hugs and kiss when I left and the I Love You, be careful,see you later.
Today we have two Whispering Angels,
They'll Whisper in the wind,
We all will be listening close,
For you to Whisper our name. I Love You , Mom

For the last 30+ years I have seen you practically every day (unless I was travelling), whether it was at 4:30am getting your paper on my way to work, lunch, or stopping to get the mail after work, or just no reason at all. If I didn't see you I spoke to you on the phone. I am so grateful for that golden opportunity and thankful I was smart enough to learn at an early age "family first, seize the opportunity". I wasn't always checking on you and Dad when I stopped, I was selfishly bending your ear about work antics and you happily listened and we always had a laugh, and I went out the door with problems solved just because you listened. (cheap therapy, ha!) There is such a void in my life now. Thank you for being such a great teacher and role model to me and my kids and showing us you don't have to have everything because together, we have it all. Love you Mom and I hope to see you and Dad on the other side of the rainbow.

Aunt Betty always had her heart, her home and her arms open to us! She was such an inspiration to my life. I will miss her SO much, especially her quite giggle. Keep smiling Aunt Betty until we meet again. ~Peggy

I have had the honor to have known this sweet wonderful lady for 50 years. In that time I have called her Mrs. Grove, Betty, and for a period of time Mom and now friend. Through the daily encounters to months and years there was never a time I didn't feel welcome in Her and Bobs home. You will always have a place in my heart.

HAPPY 73RD ANNIVERSARY! What a precious Angel Dad received! Altho it hurts to the core that we lost you here, I'm sure your back in Dads arms. I'M SO LOST! Every Sunday since I can remember, was spent sitting on your porch with Joey & Karen, drinking coffee, & just talking. When Dad passed, we continued that tradition. After coffee, we took our weekly trip to the cemetery to see Dad & family, lighting their weekly candles. Something we were taught at a young age was Death should not be scary. VERY SAD but not scary. We traveled to many cemeteries every year decorating graves. You & Dad were the best Life Teachers! Spending all those days & nights with you was my PLEASURE! You NEVER missed a time as I was leaving your house, to say "BE CAREFUL, THANK YOU FOR ALL YOU DO, & I DON'T KNOW WHAT I'D DO WITHOUT YOU!" GUESS WHAT? I DON'T KNOW WHAT I'M GONNA DO WITHOUT YOU! THANKS FOR THE TON OF WONDERFUL MEMORIES! I LOVE YOU TO HEAVEN & BACK! Teri

Where to begin. From countless sleep overs, sitting at the bar and Nan aka Granny, making her famous pink milk in her tiny little Tupperware cups, having egg bread for breakfast, to playing with the “do to dos” she always kept on the coffee table. Many Christmas Eves were spent looking out the picture window watching for Santa. You were never bored while visiting at their house. The farm always had something fun to play inside or out. She always had a loving inviting heart and knew no stranger. The farm was open to anyone to visit and she always greeted, until her last day, with a contagious Smile. She was always caring to everyone, and always asked about all of her loved ones. She and Papaw enjoyed watching all the kids play sports and being supportive. I remember my graduation day, my cousin was graduating at northridge and I from Johnstown. True dedication was shown to their family. I was grateful to watch and join her in playing one of her favorite games, BINGO. To watch her dob her cards, at times she missed a few numbers, but other times to hear her delegate lil voice yell Bingo was the greatest feeling! I’m truly thankful for the years and years of memories that I could go on and on to share but the greatest memory I will forever treasure, is her teaching me about religion. Her and my Papaw went to every class with me, as well as going to mass, and encouraged me to become baptized and confirmed as a Catholic. Although it was something they never pushed anyone to do, they both were very excited to stand by mine and my niece and nephews side as we became Catholics. I will never forget and will always treasure the gift of my Nan/Granny and may she fly free and watch over me until we meet again. I will sure miss her!

Many night spent at Granny and Papaws house eating Fritos with Ketchup, staying up late and sleeping upstairs in the old farm house. As the same with Steff, the apple cider, bailing hay, picking beans, playing in the chicken coop, sledding down the hill into the street, and having so many family functions! Granny always picked the best Christmas sweaters and the roller skates were the best!

My favorite memories are making apple cider from an old apple press that Papaw got. We picked all those apples and learned how it was done. Sleepovers were awesome!! To this day, everytime I smell “Zest”, I think of taking baths at Nans and then sleeping in Papaws tshirts!! And you havent sled rided until you have done it in the dark with Chuck, Teri, and all us cousins and then go in and have Nannys hot chocolate!! No one could make it better!! My best memories are with them!! Hay rides, bon fires, sleepovers, playing in the snow, Glouster, way too many to mention!! I will miss you forever Nanny!! Thank you for ALWAYS listening when I needed an ear or a shoulder. There will never be another one like you!! I love you!! - Steffie
