My gram was the sweetest human being I've EVER met! Beautiful inside & so beautiful out. She would take the clothes off her back to help someone. She was an angel on this earth & brought love to so many & happiness! She'd look at you & you'd feel comfort & compassion just by a glance. I know she wouldn't want her family/friends to be so full of sadness & to remember her as she was but also now everyone who knew her had a huge chunk of their heart missing. That won't ever be replaced. I am so blessed to call her my gram & wouldn't want anyone else. I'll love you forever & always! 💕 I miss you!

Gram will always be in my heart. She is loved by so many. She took me and my 2 sisters in and raised us. I keep thinking about when we was little she would pay us a dollar to rub her back and she would rub your leg in the same spot till it felt irritated! I love you gram, we will be together again.

Gram was one of the best humans I ever met. She was the glue to our family, was so thoughtful and loved her family til her last breath. With a heart of gold, a great sense of humor, everyone who met her, was lucky! Grandma, you will be missed til we meet again. I love you so much, it hurts...
