I kove and miss you granny she always loved kids and gardening and sitting in her chair doing word puzzles and watching her shows words cant explain how dearly u r missed i miss and love you granny always and forever
I am so glad to have known her and have her be a part of my life. I loved when she told stories because she would just light up the room with happiness and laughter every time she would tell them. I definitely miss her now more than ever, but I know that she is in a better place and that she is watching over all of us with Great Grandpa. Always and forever will I be one of her fishes, and I will cherish that for as long as I live. I love Great Grandma with all my heart and soul. Rest in peace GG.
Love, Jordan (Your Big Fish)
