    I love all of you, wish we could be there to celebrate Nanny's life! She was an amazing grandmother & I'm sure she is standing beside papa looking down on all of us, smiling. It's comforting knowing she is in a much better place now for eternity & one day we will all meet her again. Found this poem & thought I would share! They say it's a beautiful journey From the old world to the new Someday we'll make that journey Which will lead us straight to you And when we reach that garden In which there is no pain We'll put our arms around you And never part again Love you Nanny!!! Hopefully we will be down to visit some time next year. We miss everyone & love all of you. Take care everyone. With Love, Ashley, Kurt & Jayden

    Tena, Von and I send our condolences to you,Terry and your whole family. Your mom was precious inside and out and could always bring a smile to whomever she was around. You couldnt help but love her!! Now she's with our precious Annie and Donnie Pooh! Gosh, how I miss them but I bet they are having the best time ever!!! Losing a parent is so hard, when I lost my Dad, I grieved so deeply, more than anybody knew, but with God's love along with Tony's, your family and your many friends, lean on us all and always know that your sweet memories will live on forever and your mom will always be in your heart til you meet again. Tena, you are such a good daughter and she was blessed to have you taking good care of her. I just know she's been bragging to Annie and Donnie and whoever else she sees, what a wonderful daughter she has!! I love you so much as does Von and we are here for you. I will get Von to cook you something sometime soon.God bless and again we love you, Angie and Von

    I am so sorry for your loss. May "the God of all comfort" (2 Corinthians 1:3,4) comfort and soothe your heart. His promises, found in the Holy Scriptures, can offer much hope. It assures us at John 5:28,29 that our loved ones will be remembered and brought back to life in the resurrection. Please allow God's Word to strengthen you and help you to endure this most difficult time.
