Mom, (Grandma) as we wonder how we will go on without you, we can't help but think of how much we are just going to miss you being you. Your quick smile and your amazing desserts always hit the spot. Your quiet support to family and friends in time of need showed what a truly kind and strong mother and woman you were. You will be missed by your granddaughters, Samantha and Genna, making cookies and giggling like school girls. You were a very humble and kind woman, quick to forgive and quick to accept. You went to God, the way you wanted to, without pain and with a deep faith in the Lord. We love you with all our hearts and will miss your sense of humor and laughter. Until we meet again...
