I am so glad that you were determined to find me 32 years ago. It has changed my life tremendously. I have been reunited and given the missing piece to my puzzle, my biological family! You will never know how much I appreciate you bringing your family back into my life!I am so sorry I wasn't able to see you more often. I love you and one day we will be together again. Give my big brother a hug, kiss and a swift kick! ha
Lorene Pritchard was my mother-in-law for a short time but a woman that held a very special place in my heart forever. She was a wonderful friend, to me and a wonderful grandmother to my lovely daughter. She will be deeply missed.
I wish I could be there with you all honoring the memory of the most wonderful woman we were so lucky to have in our lives. As we grow our memories start to fade and the most special ones are what we remember most. So many of my happy memories are of Grandma. She made everything fun. Whether it was traveling to beautiful places or just going to breakfast, she made it an adventure. She had this wonderfully contagious laugh. When she laughed, you couldn't help but feel the joy and laugh along with her. I will miss her laugh and her sweet voice terribly. No one can sing Happy Birthday quite like her. She loved her husband, children, grandchildren and family with all her heart. When she talked about Grandpa, you could feel the love in her voice. She adored him. I am so thankful that of all the women in the world, she was my Grandma. She was the sweetest, kindest, most loving woman. And she past that on to her beautiful daughter who she loved so very, very much. I know I'll see her in heaven some day. But until then, we'll always have Paris.
Hi Bev (and family),
Our prayers (and chants:)) are with you in this difficult time. You are such a wonderful daughter to have cared for her for so long after the accident. Wishing you peace, dear friend. Allyssa:) Sharon, Rick
This woman was the best grandmother any child/adult could pray for. She was always happy to hear from you no matter when you called her. If you had the slightest of accomplishments, she made you feel like you were the biggest success. I cannot ever remember a moment when she ever raised a hand or a voice to me. She taught me how to laugh. She laughed always and the sound of her laugh will forever be embedded like a beautiful chime, into my memory. She and Grandpa always made sure we had fun as kids. She took me to my very first rock concert when I was 11 years old. The ticket taker thought we were going to an adjoining circus, but she proudly said, "I am taking my grand daughter to the concert". We could only handle a few songs from the band since it was back in the hippie days because we both got sick to our stomachs from the pot smoke that other concert goers were rudely blowing our way. We did not expect that but laughed about it years later. I can still see her beautiful beaming face and will never stop seeing it. It was the way she looked at everyone that she loved. I always felt loved by her and she loved ferociously. I am proud to be a part of such a unique and passionate woman and will try to live my life honoring her by trying to be the kind of person she was. I can't wait to see her again in heaven and give her the giant hug I feel in my heart. God bless you grandma and keep you content til we all see you again :) xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo The world is much emptier without you in it but heaven is even brighter.
Losing a mother is one of the last things we want to endure so I want you to know that I will be praying for you, Dewey, and all your family in this time of grief.
