You are all in my thoughts during this time. I will hold fond memories of both your parents as part of my childhood.

Will think of grandma everyday and treasure having her as my new guardian angel along with Grandpa! Grandma and Grandpa gave me and all the cousins the best moms/ dad ever and I love that they get to be together again watching over all of us ❤️❤️

My deepest sympathies on the loss of your mom! Your parents were always so dear to my family- (especially my boys who are disabled) as they always took time for both of my boys whenever we would visit my parents!! Each time we pass their home on County 416 – now Steve’s; my boys would wave and say “Hi Tommy!” even after your Dad had passed. We will keep you all in our prayers.

Wishing I could be there to remember Grandma and celebrate her life. I am so thankful for the joy that she brought to my life and everyone that knew her. I know Grandpa is taking care of her now and they are both looking out for all of us on Earth.
