I can't believe a year has gone by missing you more than words can say when god took you home he blessed me with a new baby girl born August 24th she is beautiful and you would be so proud Christina is an amazing mommy I wish you were here to see her. My thoughts and love are always with you.I love you dearly and miss you every day. I am every thing I am because you loved me

As I sit her and think about all the great times we spent together. I will always remember you and cherish you as my second mom, best friend and a great neighbor. You were always there for me. I think about all the great times at Busch Gardens one of your favorite places. I am just lost without you but will always hold our memories. Making you peanut butter cookies and brownies all the time because you enjoyed them so much. We shared watching our family's grow up. We shared so much laughter, good times and many many talks. I miss walking across the street to see you, to check on, bring you food. I love you so much and you have the best family. You were always my rock. I love you mom.

I think she needs a peanut butter sandwich

I've thought about what to write for a while now and yet I am still struggling. These past few days I have had so many memories pop in my mind, some of which I haven't thought about in years. The earliest ones I can honestly remember are from Elba Heights. A lot of those are jumbled and scattered between so many birthday parties, Christmases, and Halloween's. Halloween alone is a favorite memory of mine because of the countless costumes she made is over the years. I still have a few tucked away safely that I will cherish forever. There's funny little things that I can think of that may not have been significant for others but they are fond to me. Getting ready for school and her brushing my hair. You couldn't be a tender head with her and by the time she was done I felt as if I had gotten a facelift and a helmet full of hairspray. I remember the many summers spent with Granny and Calvin in Destin. Walking to the beach and getting ice cream, those little craft briefcases, and those wish bracelets we'd tie around our ankles. There are so many more I could list but I think I would be writing for days. There are significant things that are part of my core that I learned from her. The fascination of the weird and witchy, many of you know this because you knew I would enjoy those things of hers. My love for crafting and being creative. My other grandmother fostered this love but Granny was the one to teach me how to crochet and tried to teach me to sew. Everytime I have or will crochet or sew I will think of her. The last things (I can think of for now) I know I got from her are my stubbornness, my fierce Independence and my lack of wanting to take shit from no one. We didn't always get along but we knew we still loved each other no matter what. I will always cherish her last words to me were, "I love you too". It hurts so much to feel the void of her no longer there. She was always there and I don't quite know how to handle it. The only way to describe it is like a hole in me. I love you Granny and I miss you so much already.

I was just reminiscing with our sister Teresa about how we remember Carole making her homemade apricot jam, and we would take Nanny's fresh homemade bread and eat it all day. Few of you on here are old enough to remember but I sure do. Love and miss you Carole.
