I could not have asked for a better mom. I will miss you dearly. I already missed our usual Monday morning phone call. You know…where you listened sympathetically while I whined about whatever was bothering me at the moment? Jonah and Hannah wanted so badly to see you one more time. They loved coming to visit you just as much as Ross and Nathan always did. You were a wonderful grandma. Your legacy lives on in all of us, Mom. God rest your sweet, sweet soul.
