Hello granny,

I did not even realize it has already been 7 years! I still miss you today, just as much as when I found out you left this earth. Grampa recently left too, which has been really-REALLY hard&painful on me.... as he felt like my dad and my best friend...and when he was still here, it felt like I was able to keep you close to me somehow too.  I really hope that you both are together right now and somehow you are able to read this, just so you know how much you both mean to me... and always will forever.

I have realized more  now that you are no longer here.... that you both were amazing, amazing people. Mom was soooo blessed and lucky to have you as parents and that is why she is such a good mom, who I am so crazy lucky to have as my mom... and even Jamie my favorite uncle... he is such an amazing person. And the only reason they are both so incredible and loving and caring and giving and kind and just everything amazing is because you and grampa raised them with the amazing love that you did.

I miss you like crazy granny. Soon me and the kids will be going to a memorial thing the nursing home is putting together to remember grampa. I hope you both will be there in spirit. You are both loved so so deeply by me. My dream is that one day I will get to see you both again-that would be wonderful!!

Well granny.... I hate goodbyes so this is not goodbye.... I am sending my hugs and cheek kisses to you and to grampa..... and anyone else that might happen to be there(where ever you are) with you.... (uncle darrel, uncle guy, auntie madeline, bandit, my brother richard, and other children/people you and grampa lost when you where still here... send them my love too!)

Always and eternally,

Your granddaughter,

Jenny and 6 children xoxo

Seven years ago today we lost you mom and just this year we lost dad too. I take comfort in thinking that you are not alone and that finally you and dad are together. So much has happened since you left - four more grandchildren that would have loved you and dad so much. Its taken this long but now most of the time instead of pain there is joy when I catch an unexpected glimpse of you in a picture or melody ... or just find myself doing something and see how much of you there will always be in me. I am very lucky to have had you as a mom.

Love you always

I cannot believe it has been 6 years already. I think about you ALL the time and miss you so so so so much and cry all the time just remembering how amazing you were and how lucky I was to have a granny like you. Reading over everyones past comments warms my heart and brings tears to my eyes. Grampa has been doing so well since you left....he is so strong. And it brings me such joy when he hears my voice and is so happy that it is me. You and him are so much alike. Its almost as if a part of you stayed behind with grampa(like how married couples become one), and I can feel your love for me through him. I miss and love you so deeply and I have to keep my faith that one day we will meet again and spend eternity together. Sending my hugs and kisses and my love and the love of your 6 great grandchildren, who I make sure know who you are! 

And P.S.  all 4 of my girls have not let all of the beautiful jewellry you used to wear, go to waste. All of them cherish your jewellry and even wear it!  At first we had them in containers to remember you and Id even smell it from time to time(lol no Im not crazy! Lol).....because it smells like you still. But then I said to my girls if granny was here and could talk to us, she would say to wear her jewellry! So they have been, and it feels so wonderful to see that, surprisingly a lot of your jewellry brings back so many memories for me. Especialy cmas eve when you would always let me borrow some and summer times and it was so exciting for me as a young girl. Thank you granny for all of the amazing memories I will never ever forget.

Your grandaughter,
