Jayden’s Memory
	Great Grandma always seemed to be the brightest person in the room. The minute her grand kids or great grand kids would walk into the room her face would light up and I promise nobody was ever more excited to see you than her. Her heart was filled with nothing but love and would do anything to see any of the kids have a smile on their face. 
	I cherish every memory I’ve had with her all the way from watering her plants when I was younger, to getting Chinese food almost every time we went to visit, singing her favorite Christmas songs when the holidays came around, always hoping she was going to be able to make it to family events all the way down to helping take that last bite of stew or one more sip of water. Although some of our last moments together were a little rocky, I’m happy you are no longer in pain. You will always be here with me in my heart, I love you so much Great Grandma.


Kayla’s Memory

	I remember going with my mom, dad and siblings to Great Grandma’s and surprising her with a visit so my mom could do her hair and nails. Great Grandma would always want to pay mom back with grocery money or lunch, so many times we would get pizza. Great Grandma was also our babysitter at times, and when she watched us, she had this little pink flower pillow to take naps with. That is probably my main memory with Great Grandma. 
	No matter what, no matter who, and no matter where Great Grandma never left anyone out, it could be family or one of our friends. When we had a family event, she would always make sure to speak to everybody there. The joy on our faces sparked even more joy onto Great Grandma’s face. So, I love you Great Grandma and I’m going to miss you and your food (M&M’s and Cheerios) a whole lot.


BETTY GROSKOPH (HOLFORD)
My Grandmother’s Eulogy (pg 2)

You’ve heard me say it before, but Grandma liked company, so when we all knew Nancy was coming to surprise her with a visit, it was always a joyous sight to see her tears of joy roll down her face when she got to see her daughter again. Grandma’s desire for God was so heart felt that all we can say to Sue and her family is “Thank you”,  thank you for making sure that every Sunday she was able to have her time she needed for worshiping and praising the Lord, she cherished every moment that she was able to have with God. Appreciation and gratitude go beyond what words can say for you and your family to open your home and attending to Grandma while she could no longer attend to and care for herself.
 For the Grand and Great Grand kids Let me just say, Honey Nut Cheerios and M & M’s… I know most of us Grand and Great Grand kids will always remember the bowls around Grandma’s house with Cheerios and M & M’s and that seemed like the very best part of going to her house, but I also know that walking through her door and getting covered in kisses and embraced with her hugs is one thing we will all cherish for the rest of our lives. All of our memories will live on forever, we will always love and miss her, but I’m pretty sure all the family in this room will agree with me when I say that one of the most memorable times in her life was watching her cup runneth over when Brent would pick up his guitar and we would sing her favorite hymns together. 
So, in closing I would like to invite Brent to come back up and fill her soul with happiness with a song on his guitar. We love you Grandma and you will forever be missed, give Grandpa a big hug and kiss for us, we love you both.


BETTY GROSKOPH (HOLFORD)
My Grandmother’s Eulogy (pg 1)

My Grandmother Betty was a Daughter, a Sister, an Aunt, a Wife, a Mother, a Grandmother and a Great Grandmother. Loving, Strong, Kindhearted and Amazing are just a few words that describe what kind of woman she was. Since we can remember she has always been one to help others. She cared for her Husband, Children, Grandchildren and Great Grandchildren. From little bumps and bruises to the need of “I Love You” and “I’m praying for you” she covered it all. Grandma cherished and worshiped God like no one we’ve ever known, she was the best example for, “letting go and letting God”.  She had a passion for gardening, if she wasn’t praying or reading her bible, she was outside planting and watering all her flower’s. Her joy was endless when it came to give her company, walking through her door to be greeted with hugs & kisses made us all feel warm and loved inside. With Grandma no one was ever left out, she accepted everyone no matter who you were or even if you weren’t family because to her everyone was family. She was always open arms and understanding to whatever the circumstances may be. 
Grandma enjoyed visiting her children, watching her light up when Allan would take her down in his basement to see his model trains come to life, you could tell she could never be prouder of her Son at that moment. Grandma had a way of walking into the room and calming you down when she knew something was wrong. So, it was no surprise to me when she entered the kitchen at my Mom’s (Mary) house and calmly consoled her daughter, after watching dough fly across the room and hitting the wall when trying to make an apple pie. They spent their time together to finish the pie and it’s moments like these that will be remembered forever. 

My mom the nurse - you knew how to fix scraped knees, banged up elbows, and of course dry our tears...
My mom the chef - you were a great cook, the tuna casserole wasn’t exactly a fan favorite, but your cinnamon rolls were the best!
My mom the disciplinarian- it must have been tough raising 5 kids who were, at times, real butts.  I’ll admit you lost your cool from time to time, who wouldn’t...but it was quickly forgiven & forgotten.
My mom my friend - you were always there to help thru tough times, giving advice, that at times, I didn’t want to hear, but in the end you were always right.
My closing letter to Mom,
I knew this day had to come, I wasn’t ready to say goodbye. Life will not be the same without you mom.  You will forever be in my heart, and I’m at peace knowing you are safely home in heaven no longer suffering in pain.
Love you mom,
Nancy

Letter to my Grandma,
I really wish I could have said goodbye, but I know you would understand.  You understood and loved all of us unconditionally!  You were an amazing Grandma to me!  A great mother to my mom!  A wonderful Great Grandma to the babies!  I want to say my goodbye to you, I love you Grandma, may you have a beautiful journey in heaven, like the great life you had here with us!  I’ll hold on tight to these memories I have of you, until we meet again!  Love Jesse

There are a lot of memories I could share,but one I specifically remember is taking her shopping, she would call me up and say " Christine I need to go shopping" so we would plan a day and time and I would be there, she was always so excited to see you. You always knew to cancel any plans you had made that day because it was going to be an all day event, but that was ok because it was spending quality time with her,and you knew she was having fun,as was I. And even though she had a list you knew she was going to go up and down every isle just to make sure she didn't forget anything.  She loved everyone,never made anyone feel left out, always had a smile on her face and there was no one more excited to see you than she was! She is and always will be loved and missed! We love you Grandma!!
