My heart is broken since you went to heaven. I miss you terribly. I know you are in heaven with mom-mom and pop-pop and looking down on all of us. I wish I had one more day to tell you. I LOVE YOU.

I love you so much Grandma. You are going to be truly missed but never forgotten. I wish I would have been able to spend more time with you and that Jaxen had the chance to see what a loving, caring, and fun person you were. I know me and Paris were always a handful but I do know that you were probably the only one that knew how to handle us and you did 🙂 Thank you for everything. We love you.

I don’t know how to say goodbye to such an amazing and loving woman. My heart is so sad at the thought of you being gone. I don’t have a lot of great childhood memories from my home. However, every great memory I do have was with you and your family. You were the ONLY adult in my life that knew me. Really knew me and still loved me inspite of me. Which we all know was not easy. I loved how you always welcomed me no matter what. Thank you for showing a not so good kid what being loved felt like. I’m so thankful for your love and friendship. I’m so thankful I was able to spend some time with you and Lorrie when you came to Texas. I love you. I’m not going to say goodbye cause I truly couldn’t bare it. So I’ll just say I’ll see you again in heaven. You will be missed terribly.
