Even through the hard times we're all

experiencing, Grandma will always be apart of
our lives and live on through the people we have
become. Nobody could have asked for a better
life, family, and friends. And nobody could have
asked for a better Grandma. Even though our
tears consume us now, our laughter will prevail
and become our strength.
Love, Jennifer

Grandma will always be with us, and now her and Grandpa can work as a team to watch over all of us. This is a very sad time, but we must all remember the great memories we had with her. It's hard for us to say goodbye, but one day we will join her and she will be waiting for us with open harms.

Dear friends; thank you ever so much for the spiritual and emotional support. Thank you for your kind words and prayers. We are at peace knowing our beloved mother is now resting in peace in the loving arms of our God and will now share in the resurrection of Christ Jesus in the company of our father, her mother, father, brother , aunt and loved ones who have gone to heaven before her and now we have another angel looking after us from up above to ensure we are well protected and blessed. Once again thank you all so much and we look forward to reuniting with our beloved parents and loved ones when the good Lord chooses to do so.
