Dear Memame, this is your most handsome greatest grandson, Dylan. I
wanted to let you know you have been a loving, great grandmother. We all
love you. Now you are in a happy place with Daddy Bill.
Love,
Dylan
Dear Memame,
You will be greatly missed. Now you are with our Lord Jesus and can be with loved ones. We love you and will be with you again in Heaven. Please say ‘hi’ to Daddy Bill, Peaches, and my great grandparents.
Love always,
Julie
Dear Mama,
Yesterday I lost my best friend. You were a wonderful mother to me raising me by yourself. You had to be my father, mother, sister, and brother all rolled into one. I know you are in a better place with our Lord Jesus, Bill, Peaches, and all your relatives. Save a place in heaven for us.
You will be greatly missed and we love you.
Love, Mike Armstrong
Grandmother,
I find comfort in knowing that you are in a far more wonderful place than here. Somewhere so great, we can’t even comprehend. The reality of you actually being gone though, still hurts. I know there are no tears in heaven, and that you are now reunited with all your loved ones and will now be another angel watching over all of us. Say hi to Granddaddy for me. I love you both. This isn’t goodbye, but until we meet again.
Love always,
Melissa (whistle)
I remember afternoons at your house riding bikes, split pea soup, Peaches and playing in your yard with the many fruit trees and Daddy Bill’s garden. I miss you. I know you had hard times in your life, which we both have in common. I wish you could meet my sweet baby boy, Darren. His smile lights your heart. Until we meet again.
Love,
Amy
