LOVING PRAYERS AND BLESSINGS TO YOU ALL...TAMMY TAMARA THOMAS CECIL. Caldwell, Idaho

Grandma, It has taken me along time to write this. How do you sum up such a wonderful person? You were such a special person to me. So many of the things you used to say to me I now find my self saying to my own granddaugter. I can only hope to be as good of a grandparent as you and Grandpa were.

Dear Grandma,
We all loved you so much. Not only for the obvious reasons of how loving and caring you were, but also because you have always been the kind of person that everybody could look up to. The kind of person we all wish we could be too. Our family all wish we could of gotten together last summer to have had another handful of memories with you to add to our huge collection. Thank you for being such a terrific grandma. We all love and miss you greatly.

Dearest Mary.
You were the kindest person I have ever known. Your kind heart and warm smile would light up a room. Your family loved you very much and so did I. I will miss you until one day we will be together again along with my Mom, Dad, Big Bro Tom, Big Bill and Dave's Grandma. God Bless you and we will never forget you. Dave, Joni and Shelby Ann.

Mom, we will miss hearing from you and seeing you when we come down to Burbank.  I wish that you'd have been able to make the trip up to our house, last summer, so we could have the family get-together and you could meet your Great-great-granddaughter.  You were always so happy and full of life that I admired your ambtion and zest for living.  Thank you, thank you for being such a wonderful mother-in-law.  I know you're with Dad and that you are both happy to be back together.  We love both of you.

Hi Mary, you are a person who is awesome and you are always smiling in good times and bad times.  You will be missed by all and you are now in heaven with you husband and you both are very happy together.  
We love and miss you very much.

Mother, you were such an inspiration to me.  You never stopped doing things.  Your family, friends, and gardens were your passion.  I was so very blessed to have you as my mother-in-law.  You took care of us all.  You were an amazing mother, grandmother, great grandmother and great-great grandmother.  My little Riley loved you so very much.  We will all miss you terribly and our hearts are heavy with your loss.  There will be another empty chair at our table this year.  I am glad you are at peace and with dad.  We love you mother.  RIP

Grandma Mary, you were always such an amazing, strong & loving woman.  You had taken such a commanding & graceful role leading this family after Grandpa passed. Our time together, in the 18 months we lived there, was a time I will cherish in my heart forever. Seeing how happy my children made you, & you made them, is something I will also treasure forever. I will always remember your smile, your reading to me every Saturday night, our precious times at The Cabin, & Riley always leading you by the hand to his plant in the backyard. 

Good Bye Grandma Mary. I can only hope I was able to show you how much I Loved You. You were such an important role in not only my life, but also in my childrens' lives. Riley says he has already seen you in his dreams ... you two were grocery shopping, of course, & I have been hearing your beautiful laugh, clear as a bell. I am still in such disbelief I will never see you again. I am unbearably sad & there is a great emptiness in my life, but I am truly happy you are with your Love again, this time for eternity. Say hello to Grandpa; I hope you are able to show him how awesome it felt to hold your great-grandbabies. I Love You, & will eternally miss you.

Carrie & Family
