Sending our love and prayers for the family
You will be missed immensely, Grandma, and always hold a very special place in my heart. The memories I have as a young girl, visiting the family each summer, will always be held dearly to me, as they are incredibly happy memories. I aspire to be as good of a Grandmother as you were to me. Having my very own room at your house, going to Furs restaurant every Sunday after church, where Grandpa was the Pastor. You always had my favorite snacks awaiting me when I would come visit. I wish so much that I could have come to visit you and Grandpa prior to your passing. I would’ve loved to have hugged you just one more time, and have you meet my kids (your great grandkids). I will always carry your memory and your love in my heart. Even though I wish so much that you were still here with us; I know that you’re resting in beautiful peace. We love you so very much! Thank you for being such an amazing Grandmother. With all my love, Your Granddaughter, Deneice
