A special thank you to the staff of Good Shepherd Nursing Home for all your care and concern.
Dear Grandma, You always had a big warm smile and hugs to greet us. We will miss your homemade cinnamon rolls, chicken soup and decorating cookies with you. You taught us to have faith and to be proud of our farming roots. I will cherish our cherry picking trips and family history tours to Bay Settlement. But most of all, thank you for your comforting words when we talked at length at each losing a child. I know you will be rocking Isiah in a big wooden chair humming him a song. I love you forever, Jessie
I Love You Great-Grandma. Dear Great-Grandma, I miss you a lot. I love you Great-Grandma. I will never forget you Great-Grandma. You will be in my heart. You are the best Great-Grandma. I loved your smile when we would come over. Love, Truett
We will always remember and love you until we see you again, Your Family
