Families Can Be Together Forever!

On March 29th my grandma passed away. Grandma T. has lived with my mom & dad for 17 years. (My mom's mom:) She was around for much of my youth, and young adult years. She battled diabetes, heart problems, and arthritis. (These were just a few of her ailments) She was a fighter, never complained, and always overcame! She was a woman of faith, a believer and doer of the word, and a true inspiration to many.
She was a lady of many talents, many opinions, and lots of love! I will always remember her LOUD cheering at sporting events, playing games late into the night, rootbeer floats, graham crackers w/ milk, sugar free chocolates, her candy dish and cookie jar, her loads of stuffed animals, her unique taste in jewelry, her brightly colored lipstick, and her smell.:)

We love you Grandma T., our lives have been truly blessed. We know you are in heaven, with your family and friends who have gone before you. (How great that reunion must have been.:) We feel much comfort and peace knowing that you're with our Heavenly Father, that you are doing the Lord's work on the other side now, and even greater comfort in knowing that we'll be reunited one day! Thank you for always being there, for caring, and for keeping us in line. We know everything you said and did was out of love.

We love you, and we'll be seeing you:)
