I am rosie great granddaughter I love d her dearly she was everything , I love her I knowe I will meet her again in heaven she is jn good care
My sincerest condolences to the Deitz Family. Although I am no longer a part of the family I still feel for your loss. Grandma was a wonderful woman,to quote her,in one of our last visits,’we had some real good times together’. We had some adventures together I will never forget!!! I will never forget her and all the wonderful things I learned from her and still do and play a big part of my life today. She was like a second mother to me and I am glad I had the chance to thank her for all the wonderful things she taught me and did for me.I will never forget any of that, nor could I have ever repaid her for it. She was a very influential person in my life who helped shape me into the person I am today. I love you Grandma and will miss you terribly.
Love,
Your Former Grandaughter-In-Law,
Nicki
Dearest Grandma:
I love you and miss you terriably. Mom and Dad and all of us kids miss seeing you going across the yard and feeding Elvis. Mom is lonesome and has a hard time staying there. The memories of living so close for over 35 years are almost unbearable.
Brianna and Aaron and Wesley and all the rest miss you fussing at them when there playing in the gardes. I am sure everybody is saddened by your parting, but noone can feel the pain that Kelton and Fair Ellen and their kids and families feel.
We love you so much. I go visit your grave often and never leave with a dry eye.
We love you. This is the 20th day of April, 2001. And the pain and loss is still strong. I hope your enjoying your time with Grandpa.
We love and miss you.
Love,

I know I have signed this at least three times. However, today you are weighing heavily on my heart. So much has changed since you’ve been gone.
Toby and Shelley have a beautiful baby girl. She’s 6 months old and is absolutly precious. Shanika is expecting her first baby next month.
And I have remarried to a wonderful man. I have 6 horses. I know you would love them.
Brianna and Aaron are now 11 and 13. They are growing up.
I was finally able to do what other members of our family swore they had done, when in actual fact, they hadn’t. Mom and I had Grandpa a grave marker made. It has a dump truck on it and 2 shovels. I know how much you always wanted to get him one. Now he has one and he isn’t forgotten anymore.
You are always in my thoughts and heart. I miss you so much. More than you’ll know.
I love you.
Love,
Kathie and Bryan Whitson
Brianna and Aaron
I went and visited your grave today. As always I cried. I miss you so much Grammy. I miss our talks. You were always such an inspiration to me. Even when you were fussing at me. I felt I should do something for you. I hope you like the grave marker I had made for you. I put the rose on it espically for you. Every time I see roses, I think of my Grammy. The pain does lessen with time, but I will never get over losing you. Brianna and Aaron won’t either.
We love you always.
Hey Memaw:
I am signing this today becasue with the rain, I can’t stop my tears from falling. You have been gone 9 years and the pain and hurt is still there.
I lost Momma January 12, 2009. But you already know this. I miss her so much. I really don’t want to be here anymore. Uncle Bill was called home last Saturday.
I know there is a purpose for God calling them home, but my heart is a continous break. I will NEVER get over losing Momma.
I know that Momma and Bill are up there in Heaven with you and Grandpa and are rejoicing together. I love all of you so much.
Kathy
