Grandma was a very big part of my life. She taught me how to love and pray. She always prayed for all of us and never gave up on any of us. I only hope that I am half the grandma she was. I want to thank my uncle Jim, uncle Bob, Uncle Dave and my mom for taking such great care of grandma and so blessed that I was able to spend the last days with her. Thank you everyone for your prayers for my family.##imported-begin##Amy##imported-end##
Grandma Oreo is what we called her because she would always have cookies for us when we vistited her apartment with our friend Carly. She would always have coloring books and puzzles for us to play with. She would always, always love to play cards with us. And she NEVER let us cheat! She said she doesn't play with cheaters! Oh, and she wouldn't let us cheat at checkers, either! She taught us how to color 'inside the lines!' We loved her crayon holder because it was in a circle shape and it rotated. We always loved to sharpen her crayons for her. When she moved in with Aunt Donna, she gave us her cool lamp that we always admired when we went to her house. She never had anything bad to say to or about anybody. She lived a very long life and we are going to miss her very much. We loved her so much.##imported-begin##Dale, Laura, Sarah and Megan Harken##imported-end##
