fargo ndhi grandma i miss you more and more each day….today we finished cleaning out the house and it was really tough to be honest i thought about all the memories we had together and the times we made xmas goodies and filled out holiday cards to send out to everyone. its been almost two months and it feels like just yesterday i still cant except the fact that you are gone and i dont know if i will ever be able to. matt and i are finally getting married and it tears me up inside that i didnt get to tell you and that i didnt get to see your reaction and hear some smart remark come out of your mouth like its about time…lol. i love you with all my heart!
Holt Mo.My deepest sympathy.
Dorothy was one of my favorite cousins . Though we lost touch I often thought of her and wondered about her and her family. Growing up I had so many wonderful times at their farm near Cobb.
You are in out thoughts and prayers.

I will miss watching you and grandpa tease eachother, and how you told us stories about when you were a girl, working with your dad, the books your highschool librarian would save for you to read, and how you used to fall alseep reading them outside.

Hi Grammy I miss you more and more each day. Today I went to your house and looked through your picture albums and jewelry boxes it reminded me of all the wonderful memories I have of you and I will always think of them. I will always remember your big heart, your quirky faces and your silly laughs. Also I will always remember the nickname you gave me when I was a baby (tubby toes). I know you have left us all but now you are in a better place and are done suffering and I cant wait until I can see you again in heavan. Love you Grandma.
Marrie and Family- I click on your mom’s name and seen her picture.
You’re mom is a beautiful woman. You can see her strength and see her pride.
Words escape me of what else to say, but I found this poem that I believe says it all…..
THE BROKEN CHAIN
We little knew that morning that God was going to call your name,
In life we loved you dearly, in death we do the same.
It broke our hearts to lose you, you did not go alone,
For part of us went with you, the day God called you home.
You left us peaceful memories, your love is still our guide,
And though we cannot see you, you are always at our side.
Our family chain is broken, and nothing seems the same,
But as God calls us one by one, the chain will link again.
It was such a joy to meet you and get to know you! You were such a big part in everyones live in your family and they all looked up to you so much! I know that they will deeply miss you! I am so glad that I got to meet and see that cute smile you always had on your face.

Momma, I will always think of the times we had together and will always smile when I remember them. You made me laugh and giggle each and every time. I shall love you forever and I shall always miss you. I will carry the sweet memory of you in my heart for the rest of my life. I love you!

My mom was a beautiful person and a wonderful friend. I will miss her terribly and will think of her always. I will miss her mischievous glances and her quirky grin. I will miss her kindness and compassion for others. Most of all I will miss tickling her toes when she was trying to read or watch TV only to hear “Mindy!” I love you mommy!!
