I don't know how to put into words what my grandma meant to me. I'm 41 years old and I've never known the world without her. She in large part defined who we are as a family, and did so by showing affection and patience at all times. There was always time to talk, a cup of coffee, cookies in the jar, and the promise of a future visit. To simply say she was there when we needed here is a vast understatement. She was too good a person to grow old and pass on...and yet here we are saying goodbye. Goodbye Tractor Grandma. I love you.

Gram gave me her recipe and taught me how to make the very best noodles for soup. I will miss her, and her tremendous character.

I was so blessed to have my grandma in my life. She was one of those people that only come around once in a lifetime. She has touched my life in so many ways. I will cherish all the times we had together. I thank god that he blessed me with her as my grandma.

Mary was a good neighbor and friend. I think she treated other people as she would like to be treated. Jim and I appreciated the little goodies that she fixed for us. We didn't get to say good-by to her. But I plan on meeting her again when the Lord makes the earth new again. I will say, "Hello Mary. Can you help me plant my roses?"  Jim and Pat Hoerner

When my mom passed away you became my "New" mom. Your love for family will 
always be with me as will you. I will miss you always, and remember you and Ray
as you were in the photos.

Aunt Mary's fried chicken and homemade ice cream for our frequent family get-togethers.  What mouth-watering memories.

I was so fortunate to have my grandparents so long.  I loved them so much.  Grandma and Grandpa were always in our lives. I will miss our visits and family get togethers with her.  She always lit the room up with her smile and sense of humor.  And aways dressed like a lady, earrings and all.   Grandma cared so much for her family, and always wanted to make sure everyone was ok.  She never missed a birthday or any other celebration event.  She always sent a card and wrote a little note in each one to personalize it, I will miss this so much.  I will miss her greetings "Hello Jenny, can I get you a cup of tea or something to eat?"  She always had home- made cookies or pies.  Grandma I love you and miss you so much.  I will always miss your smile, voice and hugs!  love you!  Your granddaughter Jenny

Grandma was my best friend and confidant my entire life. 
She was the guiding hand that helped me become closer to God, always listening, always loving. My favorite memories are of camomile tea, long talks about the bible and where we will go when we leave this earth. I know in my heart that one day our family will be reunited and all will be right again. Until then, I will follow grandma's example by living each day to it's fullest with joy and love in my heart.
