For me, just the thought of going to Gramma's house brings a smile to my face. Because we lived so far away, it made it that much more special to go to Gramma's. I was reminded of that yesterday, at the service, but even more so afterward. The laughter..stories..memories...I guess it all hit me as I drove home last night...I am so thankful for Gramma and all she meant to me...There will never be another place like Gramma's house
Mom, just that single word takes my breath away. There are so many memories over 87 years that I just can't single out one. You were always there when I needed you, both physically and spiritually. The sight of your face always gave me peace of mind. I miss you so much, but I know we will be together again.
I always enjoyed talking to her.We could have a great time and laugh and tell the same stories again.Cause she didnot remember what we were on and either did I.So stories were funny to both of us.
There are so many memories to begin with just one.From me bringing Hillary over to Christmases and Thanksgivings.... I love you
I remember her taking me by bus to downtown Houston and we went from store to store looking for me a senior dress and couldn't find one that I liked. We were exhausted when we got back to Jacinto City and got off the bus in front of Weiner's and, in the window, there was the dress that I wanted. I was a picky, pain in the neck kid and she loved me anyway. She was wonderful mother and would do anything to help her children and grandchildren. She passed away on her birthday and received the greatest birthday gift of all, she's with Jesus.
She was the best grandparent anyone could ask for. Always faithful to the Lord and was a light to our family. Her heritage is the Faith of her children and granchildren that will see her with our blessed Lord and Savior.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
