Gramma, you will be missed. . .
Sharing Alberta’s life has had great meaning to me. She tought me gardening and instructed me on how to bowl and have fun with life. She was a great mother in law. She will be missed but, never forgotten.
Thank GOD for giving me a mother who taught me to live and love and so many years to have her with me.Her wonderful sense of humor and all her many other qualitys from which I learned so much.I will miss her so much.
I feel fortunate to have such a special Gramma in my life. Though she lived far away, she was never far from my heart. I will never forget playing gin rummy with her as a child, her big smiling eyes and her infectious laugh. She will live forever in her family’s hearts and her memories will never be forgotten. Love you Gramma!
In loving memory of a grandmother from whom I gained so much more than just my name. I am eternally grateful to have her in my life today. Though God has taken her home to be with Mom and Grandpa, she will always be with me as an example of how to love life and all that He provides in it. It has been truly a gift having her with us for so many years, sharing fun, laughter, wisdom and afghans.
God gave us a great gift in Gramma, a gift I grew to cherish for her forthright character and devotion to those she loved. Now I give that gift back to God, thanking Him for the time I had with her, and the memories we shared.
I have fond memories of a Grandma who was a very real person, never tried to be someone she was not, and loved us all unconditionally. She loved to have her family around and we had so much fun playing games together and laughing. I thank God for the years we had together and pray that she is comfortable and enjoying her family in Heaven.
