To my dearest grandma in Heaven,
 
The moment you took your last breath, I felt the world shift. The world suddenly became dark and dim. My angel that has once walked this Earth was gone.

She was such an knowledgeable/intelligent woman. You could go to her for advice on anything, she always knew best. It made my heart warm when my mom told me I had her hand writing.
She was loved by anyone who crossed her path. She was so strong. That’s where my mom got it from. I admire those two so much. I could only dream of being just like them.

It isn’t often in life that we come across someone so special that that person stays with you forever. Grandma was that kind of person. No matter how many times she was
Knocked down, or made to endure things that no one should; She just kept coming back; Caring and loving even more. It was the only way she knew how to live. The kind of love grandma felt for us was a love
Without condition. She may have not approved of everything we did, may have not liked some decisions we made, but she didn’t lecture, she didn’t judge.
She kept loving us.
  
She Lived a simple life. It didn’t take much to make her happy. A phone call, A card or a kiss before saying good night. We were the most important people in the world to her.
She was So proud of all of us. To think that someone like her felt that way about us should make us all feel more than just a little good.

We can never forget that there is a part of her in each of us, something that she gave to us, and asked for nothing in return.

There have been and will be times in our lives when situations arise where we will want so much to talk to her, be with her, or just ask her what she would do. I hope that when those times come, we can begin to look to each other and find that part of her that she gave each of us.

Thank you grandma for all of your wisdom, compassion, humor, love and most of all the memories that we will cherish forever. You will forever be in our hearts.

Thank you to everyone for your love, support and prayers during this difficult time. Please continue to pray for my families strength.

With love,
Your grand daughter Shyann

 
Grandmas gone to Heaven
 
One quiet night the angels came
And took grandma far away
But in the stillness of the night
I could almost hear her say
 
“Dear grandchild- I will miss you
You mean so much to me
But Jesus called me to his side
IN Heaven I will be
 
A place of God’s great beauty
No tears or Earthly cares
Only peace & joy forever
And love beyond compare
 
So remember all the good times
Don’t think about the sad
Treasure all the special moments
Through the years we’ve always had
 
And if you Trust in Jesus
I can promise this and more
You will get a hug from grandma
Someday on Heavens golden shore.”

To Momma, With Love

There is no replacing someone like you. You gave me guidance, comfort and love when I needed it the most. You always made me feel special, even on my worst days. I loved you so dearly, and I hope you knew that. My heart lost a piece the day we had to say goodbye. But, my broken heart rests easily knowing one day we'll meet again. I will never forget our long talks and all the jokes we shared. I'll always think of the fun times and will forever be grateful of the time I spent alone with you. Thank you, for giving me the best one. He's amazing and loved you so much. He watched you struggle and work your way out of many hardships. He learned from you that kindness goes a long way and being simple is the best way to live a happy life. I will always love you for taking my side whenever David and I would bicker. I know he would get so jelly. I honestly felt so lucky to score the ultimate Mother-in-law. People say that there's always that one person you come across in your life that is so special and unique, you'll never meet anyone like that again. You were my special someone. I love you Rose, I hope the angels are taking care of you in heaven. I'll meet you by the cabin in-between the lavender and daisies, near the rainbow Bridge by the girls. I hope you remember.

With love,
Elizabeth
