Hey mom, You were right. You were also the backbone of this family. Sorry I refused to see it at the end

Even though it’s been 7 years it’s seems so much longer! You are so missed! You were the one people went to for comfort and empathy!! You felt others pain and you would tell them just what they needed to hear ! You were one of a kind and I know we will all be reunited again for eternity. Miss you huge!

Good lord 7 years. Seems marriage revelations take 7 years and for me at least the impact of your death on our family has taken this long to begin to understand your role. I have been through hell since May last year and what I have learned is that you would have cared and talked to me and absolutely not stood for the way things happened. Wondering if I mistook jealousy for you knowing what was really going on. I always thought I got it from you but this year has proven to me I got it from him. Wish you were here. Love Carroll

Hey mom,
Sure could use you being around. Amazing what happens when the matriarch is gone. Keep praying for me in heaven I need it. Happy Birthday Love Carroll

Forever missing and loving you, Meemaw. Michael and Mathis are precious and amazing and I live in awe of them. You would be so proud.
Missing you, always.

Happy Birthday <3

Happy Birthday In Heaven!!! So many times I want to pick up the phone and call you

Hey mom,
Happy Birthday I think of you often and my life is better knowing we are at peace with each other. I take comfort in knowing the way I am living my life at this point makes you proud. Love and happy thoughts Carroll

There are so many things I want to share with you, with my mom. I've been blessed to have other women in my life but there is nothing like you. I cherish every moment I have with your grand-daughter Danielle Grace and think about how often you encouraged me to have a child of my own to share that unconditional love and bond. May our kindness and goodness live on in remeberance of you.

Hey mom missed you at christmas. more and more like you all the time Love your eldest

Can't believe it's been a year already! Even though I know you are rejoicing we still miss you a lot! You had such a wonderful way about you that drew people close to you! You loved people well!! I miss you tons! I will see you again someday! Love you!!

Today is your birthday and you have been on my mind a lot. So many times I pick up the phone to call you and I remember I can't. I know you are rejoicing being with the Lord and I would never wish you back but I sure do miss you! I have a voice mail that I saved on my phone so when I get lonely for some Aunt Grace time I listened to it. You left a lasting impression on my life that I am sooo grateful to God that He allowed us the time together that we had. I love you! Miss you huge!

Mother's Day was hard this year. I'd already picked out the necklace I wanted to give you this year. I ended up doing a little shopping at Tuesday Morning as a way to feel closer to you. This grieving process is like nothing I've ever been through before...
I think the hardest part is knowing you were the glue that held this family together and the sense of home and belonging is fading away...

Hey Mom
Been Thinking of you a lot. I wear a little piece of Grace almost every day. Thank you for filling a huge hole in my life. That gift alone has had a profound effect on me. Love Carroll

Special thanks to all who attended the service from near and far. Your love and kindness has helped our family through this time of sorrow.
Peace be with you all.
Love,
Anne

There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle. Grace was a warm a wonderful woman who believed in miracles and who will be missed.

Dear Bill & Family,
I mainly knew Grace as Bill's sidekick during his years as a Social Services co-worker. She was always a sweet, funny and gracious lady. My thoughts and prayers are with you. Take care of each other. Sincerely,

Your love, kindness and wisdom along with your tenacity and humor helped me through the most difficult time in my life. I hope you know how much you were loved and appreciated. When I think of God's love, you always come to mind. You cannot be replaced and will be forever loved and admired.

Bill & family
Grace was always such a constant presence. It will be hard seeing you without her. She was a real lady. Condolences to all of you. She will be missed

Bill & family,
Jan and I are very saddened to hear of Grace's passing. We wish the comfort of the Holy Spirit in knowing that she is resting in peace with our Lord. She was a great lady and will always be remembered that way by everyone who knew her.

You have been such an extraordinary influence in my life. I have thought so much on what to write the could adequately describe you. You never met a stranger, love came so natural from you. You always put others first. I definitely saw Jesus in your actions and examples that you showed so many . Thank you for all your encouraging words and support when I needed it you have been an amazing friend that has helped shape my standards and values. You have inspired so many ! I am so blessed that you were part of my life. I love you!

Her smile was warm. Her humor was sharp and witty. Her laughter was bountiful. She was a wonderful lady and enjoyable to be around.

Thank you for all the many hours of Bridge fun and all our crazy times together, you are missed terribly,Michele

The words we have here on Earth could never even begin to describe the woman that you were. Thank you for the beautiful life you lived. A little piece of you is in every person that you met. I am honored to say that is true of me, also. May God give us the grace to adjust to a world without you in it. I love you and miss you, Meemaw.

Thank you for never giving up on those you loved. It is a comfort to know my biggest fan is now my guardian angel. I love you mom

"Don't wait for people to be friendly, show them how" this was how Mom lived each day. Love you Mom!

I miss you Gracie!!!
