Dear Sandra, Jean, & Patricia,
So sorry for your loss. Your Mom was one of the great ladies at the Baptist church. I didn’t realize she was 99, time goes by so fast.
Remember all the good times you had with her and you will be surprised how this will get you through a bad day. Keeping you and your families in my prayers.

Grandma we are so glad that we were able to come up for your 99th birthday. Your smile hadn’t change and you were the life of the party with your smile, every time Gary and I looked at you the smile you had on your face was everlasting.We know you are dancing now with the angels and with Our God whom you were so faithful to.
We will miss you forever but our memories of you will last until we meet again.
Mom, Aunt Pat, Aunt Jean,
Our love goes out to you at this time as it is very sorrowful to lose your mother. The only comfort is knowing she is with her Lord. She also had a lot of people waiting, the ones that had gone before. Knowing this shall bring you peace in your heart as time goes on.
We love you all,
Gary & Joy and family
