To know her.. was to LOVE her. Most definitely one of the strongest women who ever lived! She was not only a grandma to me, she was someone I will forever look up to. She was just as beautiful on the outside as she was inside. The tiniest woman, with a personality BIGGER than her. Although my heart breaks, and I will miss her terribly... I'm comforted that she feels no more pain and suffering. Don't worry gram, I'll make sure my daughter (baby Harper) knows all about her great gram! After all, they don't call them "great" grandparents for no reason. Love you always, your granddaughter Jaime Lyn xo

With a heavy heart today, I say goodbye to one of the finest woman I know. I say this because in the thirty plus years I know her she has been special to me. She had a unique way about her that touched those she met in a very special way. She made you feel as though you were important to her, because, you were. This was a truly authentic characteristic of hers, (there was nothing phony about her) what you saw was what you got. Through the time I've known her I witnessed a lot of strength from her, and I've seen her fight and win many battles. She battled them with grace and dignity, just the was she lived. . There are way too many qualities to list but, I will say that it was an honor to know her. It was an even greater honor to be her Daughter In Law. I Love You Mom/Reen
