The magic of a mother's touch ,, There's magic in a mother's touch and sunshine in her smile there is love in everything she does to make our lives worth while we can fine both hope and courage just by looking in her eyes, her laugher is a source of joy , words are warm and wise there is kindness and compassion to be found in her embrace and we see the light of heaven shining from a mother's face. We miss you RIP.

You have always been a dear friend and more like a Grandmother to me and my children. I have always cherished you and our friendship. You will always be in my heart and I will never forget you. May you Rest In Peace my Dear Friend . I will always LOVE YOU !!!!!!!!!!

Grandma you are my light and joy of my life. Since I was 5 years old you have been a part of my life and there is not a day that goes by that I don't think about you. I have accepted that God took you home because you was in too much pain but I still miss you. Myself and your great grandchildren enjoyed the life we had with you and we will lie with those memories. I always gave you the best when you was alive and I am sending you home with the best. I love you grandma. Rest in Paradise.

You have impacted many lives. May you be sitting in the right hand of your Father
