Jonna Jenna and Rusty and family so sorry for your loss. I remember talks your mom and I had years ago. Seems like yesterday I remember her showing up at the house the day of my wedding to wish me happiness and best wishes. That’s the type of person she was. I know she loved my brother Mike aka her son in law and was happy to have him part of her family. Thinking of all of you and sending love.
My deepest condolences to you and your families on the loss a great woman! I always enjoyed seeing her when she required homecare and then to find we’d known each other since I was in high school and chummed around with her daughter, we had great times reminiscing of those days and of course lots of laughter as we just knew we’d pulled one over on her (which we did not). May God grant you all the strength required in the days ahead and may your many wonderful memories provide you with comfort.
Cory and Micah, our prayers are with you as you face this trial. The greatest tribute to your grandmother, and the love she felt for you, is to live mindful of the impact she had on your life. Treasure your memories of her. God Bless.
