Thinking of you dearly today grandma, as I do every day. My memories of you are some of the most cherished in my heart. You brought so much light to this world that I can still feel in my heart to this day. I know you always use to say "this too shall pass" but the grief of losing you will stay with me always, until I see you again. I love and miss you always grandma.
This Mother's Day, I've found myself reminiscing about the woman who taught me in my youth to appreciate discipline and structure, to take responsibility for my own actions, and to commit myself to my projects without making excuses. But for her influence in my life, I would not have become the person I am today.Much of this, I know, she learned from her own mother, who on delightful, random occasion would send her to school with brownies for our class. Evelyn was a sweetheart, lovely and bright and always asking how I was doing whenever she heard from me. I am saddened to learn she is no longer with us in body, but appreciative that she is no longer in pain. She lived long and well.Her contributions to this world were far-reaching and immeasurable. The world will not be the same without her, but it has certainly been bettered for having held her in its arms for the blink of an eternal eye. I offer my sincerest condolences and best wishes to her family as you all move forward, blessed with the memories and the lessons she imparted to you along the way.

Grandma,Words would never be enough for me to say how much I miss and love you. I am so grateful that god gave me you as my grandmother. That was one of the greatest gifts of my life. You were so amazing and everything that I aspire to be as a mother and a woman in general. I wish you could've seen yourself through our eyes so you could have seen how truly special you were. Thank you for the endless love and support you gave me my entire life and I hope that you truly knew how much you meant to me and always will. I love you forever Grandma. May your soul be at peace
Mom and now Our Heavenly MotherWe love and miss you more than words can begin to say. Throughout our lives you were always our shelter regardless of whatever storm we were facing in our lives. Mom, you always gave each of us your wisdom and unconditional love. You were always there for us and I truly believe you will continue watching over us. I know we can still talk to you and you will hear us. I may have been the first of your children and I still find comfort in that the love you have for each of us is no less for any one of us but it is boundless as only a mother can give to her children. I will do my best to be there for my children as you always were for each of us. I am so grateful that you no longer have to be in pain and you are now with Jesus. Even though I chose a different path for my life I always know that even if I couldn't see you, you were always with me in my darkest moment and I know you will continue to be with me. With all my heart and soul thank you for being my mother. You always were and will always be the best. I love you mama.
Mom, You were the best mother and the best friend anyone could have. I will miss you terribly but know that you are walking the streets of Heaven free from the pain that made every movement difficult these last few years. You were my confidante, my biggest cheerleader, my staunchest supporter. You are our Guardian Angel now in Heaven just as you always were here on earth. You have been reunited with those we've lost - Dad, Buck, and Buddy - and will be there to welcome us when we arrive with a hug and a kiss. How I wish we could have found a cure for your pain, but no doctor ever had the answer. Now you are with God and all the answers are clear - no more pain, no more sorrow. I love you Mama and I will miss you every minute of every day.
My dearest mother! I will miss you every day for the rest of my life. I am glad that you no longer have to suffer and only wish that l could have done more to ease your pain or make your final years easier. I could never do enough to repay you for all you've done for me and my children and grandchildren.You were an angel on earth as you are now in heaven with wings already earned. I love you mama..."a bushel and a peck and a hug around the neck"
