Grandmother,
Words cannot begin to express the love I have for you in my heart. Over these last 38 years you have been the tie that bound our family together, the hope that we would all find our paths, the strength that any one of us needed in times of trials, and, most of all, the love that always seemed to bring us all back together. You have been, are now, and will always be loved. In my mind I see you and Grandpa standing at the top of the hill, under the malberry tree, holding hands and watching over me.
If only I could find the words
If only I could make them rhyme
I'd write a song that would be just yours
That angels might sing you throughout time
If not for you, where would we be
If not for you, my Grandma dear
Now we lay thee down to sleep
No more pain, no more tears
And who are we but those who love you
Who are we but those who's lives you filled
You will be greatly missed Grandma dear
And I know you'll be there when we need you, even still.##imported-begin##Michael T. Findley##imported-end##
Grandma,
Well after reading what kaye wrote this will not be as well written (between you and me I think Kaye should have been a writer at least for Hallmark). I remember always spending saturday nights at your house so I could go to Church with you. And I also loved the jell filled candies the best. You always yelled at me for not drinking water ALWAYS. I drank some today! Still is gross. I love you. I remember all the times you drove me to work as a teenager to Burger King. and all the talks we had. You are a great woman and I know you are in a much better place. But Grandma can you still guide me in the right direction, I will never stop needing you. Love you forever.

Dear Grandma,
I am so sorry that you had to suffer the past few months, but I am convinced that the lord does not give us or put us through anything that we cannot handle. The ironic thing about that is you were the one who instilled that in me. You also told me that the lord has a reason for everything and we may never know the reason, but there is a good reason behind everything and we just need to trust and believe that. Today is a celebration of an amazing woman and an amazing life. I think back on all of the years I was able to spend time with you and I remember going to church with you and you always had a purse full of candy just to try and get me to sit still (the strawberry candies with the squishy middles). I loved going to the Mothers Day ice cream socials with you and my mom at church, they were always a lot of fun. All of us loved going to the back yard and picking the raspberries and coming in and eating them or you baking something with them. I loved watching you to pay such close attention to the flowers and taking care of every single one of them inside and outside of your house. Listening to the stories you told about your life growing up during the times that most of us could not even imagine. The biggest thing I am going to miss is your unconditional love, no matter what and no matter when I could call you or come to your house and you were ALWAYS happy to hear from me or see me. I am so happy I was able to celebrate your 85th birthday with you in January, and able come home and see you in July and spend some time with you, and last week I called you, I don’t know if you knew who it was on the other end of the phone or not, but you were able to get out, “I love you” to me. Jamie, Mom, and Aunt Rose told me you had a smile on your face when they put the phone to your ear. I am going to miss you dearly, but I will thank god everyday for the rest of my life that you were part of my life and I am truly a better person for knowing you.
I love you Grandma!
