So many memories I can't decide which to include.  Visiting when they lived in Citrus Heights.  Spending the day at the shop with AP and with Mike.  Her surprising us with a visit the exact same day we had plans to go to the coast (and my ex wouldn't let me change those plans at all!  I was so heartbroken!)  Her laugh I can still hear..  Even though I hadn't visited for awhile, I'll miss you everyday.

I have loved this lady and been loved by her my entire life.  She was so witty her quick humor will forever fill my heart making me smile.  Nana had a way of making everything always Ok even when it wasn’t.  I miss her so much truly there are no words to properly represent the void in my life.  I loved everything about her, we had the best relationship, she will always be the strongest person ill ever know.  She taught me everything about loving n being loved for that im forever grateful.  Im a bit lost i pick up the phone to call n know its not going to be answered, i still call because it’s comforting to just dial her number.
We had a rough last year but I think we both know how much we loved each other which was shared every single day.   I love you so much miss you like I never knew anyone could be missed.  Popa n I are keeping busy n as  I promised we will be ok.  I love you moma❤️🙏

This woman loved me even when I didn’t love myself. She was there for me through some of the most difficult times in my life and always with an uplifting heart and message, and frequently a sassy comment.  Her gifts to me weren’t tangible, they were gifts of acceptance, and love that will forever live in my heart.  I will miss you Nana, and I will see you again in eternity with Christ.

Dearest Mama
My heart is breaking, it is so hard to accept that you are gone & I will no longer be able to talk to you & hear your voice.  You are at peace now & no longer in pain,  for that I am grateful, but my grief is so deep
 you will always  be in my heart & never forgotten.I know I will see you again & until then I love you to the moon & back.

Dearest Mama,  it is so hard to accept the fact that I can no longer talk to you & just hear your voice.  I am happy you are at peace & no longer in the pain you suffered, but none the less my heart is still breaking.  I love you to the moon & back & I know I will see you again. All my love forever & always, until we meet again, your grieving daughter.
