Granny,
I keep finding myself coming back to this day after day. You were the love of my life and I miss you terribly! God needed another angel and now you can really keep your eye on me. You have taught me so much in life and my childhood was everything because of you. I love you and miss you more than words could ever express! You and daddy were my rock and will forever be missed. Never thought I would see this day.

Dear Lorna and Sandra,

I had the honor of visiting your Mom at Hospice Home Care. She loved to talk about her travels and bridge friends. We found that we knew some of the same folks, she knowing them through bridge and I knowing them from my home church, St. Paul United Methodist.

I hope you are coping well and know that your mom loved you unconditionally.

Lorna and Sandra,
I'm so sorry for your loss. Your Mom was very Special. I feel so blessed she was my Aunt and friend. I will miss her. Aunt Dottie was so good to my Mom, visiting her in her later years in the nursing home. God Bless you Aunt Dottie. Rest in Peace. Love you always, Lynne
