Hi grandma its almost your birthday. April 10th isa very hard day for me since thats your birthday. When it gets close to your birthday I start getting sad and depressed. I know you wouldn't want me to cry and be sad. But it's so hard I would give anything to have just one more day with you. But its just like the song says if i had one more day it would just leave me wishn for one more day

Can’t find a reason why God gave you to me. But that’s not a question to be asked. The question is how did God know that I needed someone like you"...

Everything my grandma did
was something special made with love.
She took time to add the extra touch
that said, "I love you very much."
She fixed hurts with a kiss and smile
and told good stories grandma-style.
It was warm and cozy on her lap
for secret telling or a nap.
And when I say my prayers at night
I ask God to bless and hold her tight.
Cause when it comes to giving hugs

When I look at the stars I don’t see a night sky I see your beautiful eyes winking back at me
I see your face in the clouds hear your voice in the wind and feel your touch in the warmth
I miss the way you smiled I miss your smellyour warm hugs No one or anything can or ever will compare to you
You may think you were just my grandma but you were so much more than that you were my best frien

Forever in my heart & memory grandma lives on. I never said good-bye and never will because one day we will meet again. She told me it's not good-bye it's so long! She was the smartest women I've ever known. I'll NEVER let go. Grandma this is for you I Love You !

on her obituary

February 5, 2012

God saw you were getting tired and a cure not meant to be. So he put his arms around you and whispered "come with me."  With tearful eyes we watched you suffer, and slowly fade away. Although we loved you dearly we could not make you stay. A golden heart stopped beating, hard working hands to rest. God broke our hearts to prove to use he only takes the best.  

My Angel

February 2, 2012

Grandma was and still is my angel. She used to wait for me to come home from school everyday just to ask me how it went. She always got the same response from me it was ok. Now if I could I would give her step by step details of how school went even if it wasn't exciting. I can remember her hugs and voice just like it was yesterday. She had a heart of gold. Grandma always had the most amazing ways to make you feel better when you were sad. One day I was really upset I didn't want anyone to know. So I just put a smile on my face and acted as if everything was ok. To anyone else they would have thought I was perfectly fine. But not grandma she asked what was wrong. When I told her nothing everything was fine. She got this piercing look in her eyes like she could see right through to my heart. She made me sit down beside her and instead of her making me talk about what was bothering me she just held me tight. Just that hug made everything ok. She was my bestfriend and shoulder to cry on. She was my rock! She may not have had wings and a halo. But if anyone deserved them it was her! I know today that grandma has a halo and wings. Her love is like the wind I can't see it but i can feel it!
