Gram was the best woman I knew. She always knew what to say to make you laugh. No matter what you did, Gram was always there to forgive and make you feel better. We will all miss her tremendously, but her love will go on forever.
Gram, you were the most special person and I will always treasure the ten years I spent living with you. We had many wonderful times and I will always remember my phone ringing in the morning with you saying “Coffee’s On – C’mon” I remember all the fun we had playing Canasta and at our cookouts on the deck. I know you are with Jesus and the angels now and even though we will all miss you with all our hearts, I am happy for you that you are in such a beautiful place where you don’t have to ever worry about anything ever again. I had such wonderful times dressing you in all the costumes and going to the activities at the Geriatric Center and I know you enjoyed getting dressed up as well. You were always the “belle of the ball” Even though I was not your grandaughter by blood, I definitely was your grandaughter by LOVE! I will love and miss you forever!!!!! Rest with the angels our very special “GRAM!” Love, Your Coffee Buddy!!

Marlene, Joann and families; Please accept our sympathy. We are out of town right now. Remember all the wonderful years you were able to share with your mother and be comforted with those cherished memories. God has called her home. Blessed Be. Gus and Carolyn
Dear Davis Family, Even though I didn’t get to know “Grams” very well I can tell that she was a GREAT lady, who I’ve heard was the back bone of a GREAT family! There is no doubt that she is looking down upon all of you together now, and is home with many that she has missed. Now is the time to come together as a family, love each other, and share great memories. Your all in my thoughts
Dear Aunt Mar, Cindy, Sue & family Sorry to hear about your loss, hold tight to your memories and the good times you had together. We are sending our deepest sympathy, love, and prayers to you at this difficult time. Janet, Bill and Diane Dunlap
Dear Gram, I wish I could be there with you, but know you are now in peace and happy in Heaven. You were truly loved by all. You lived a wonderful life as you once told me. You were kind and generous and comfortable to be with. The coffee was always on and candy drawer filled. You were and will remain truly loved. Your children, your grandchildren and especially your great grandkids kept you young well into your late, late 80s. You were eternally youthful! I was going to where a black dress to Mass tomorrow in you honor, but I remembered you telling me, “You should buy some new cloths, you dress like an old lady and stop wearing so much black.” So tomorrow I will wear something colorful just like you would want! All my love, your granddaughter Susan & Samantha. PS Goldie is probably very happy to see you!
