I will always cherish the time I spent learning the secrets of crochet in your living room floor. Thank you for always making time for me. 💜
My favorite memories of Grandma Mary will always be the simple moments we shared. She was always ready to make us lunch, and I still cook gold and red potatoes the way she taught me. She also taught the girls how to crochet and always had toys waiting for them whenever we came to visit.
I feel so blessed that I had the chance to visit her recently. Her beautiful smile, the joy she had in telling stories about her family tree, and the love she shared with everyone will stay with us forever. She loved showing us old pictures and sharing the memories behind them, and we loved listening.
Grandma Mary was truly one of a kind. We will miss her deeply, but we will always carry her love, her smile, and her stories in our hearts.
I sure am gonna miss you grandma! RIP I love you. Love your grandson K.O.
Dear Terry:
I'm very sorry about your Mom. I will be praying for you and your family! Love and God bless you!
