“Our Grandmother, Our Angel”
Grandma was an amazing and unique women. She touched the lives of so very many in so many ways. Grandma was well known for her spunky personality, patriotism, love of God and the love she had for her Children and Grandchildren. She was never afraid to speak her mind or slap you around if needed, especially if you beat her in a game of cards or Yahtzee! You’re about to get hit. You could always be sure that if you had a place in her heart she would move mountains to help you when needed.
Kayla and I have spoken to 13 of her grandchildren and realized to gather memories and share them all with you today would take a life time. Instead we decided to share with you all how Grandma has impacted our daily lives. Things that will always remind us of her. Her memory will always be alive in us. Her legacy…
We have learned, that if our parents told us no about anything, to always run to grandma! She would always say yes and more. Little pouty faces went a long way with her as she hated seeing us sad about anything. We learned never to scare old ladies with rubber snakes. Lord knows she despised snakes. We learned never to talk back or argue with grandma as she will always win no matter what the disagreement was! Always dress appropriately when leaving the house because there was no “Hoochie koochie” growing up in her family. We learned anything is obtainable so long as you work hard for it. We learned never to follow others blindly and never judge a person by what you see on the outside. We learned how to be strong and opinionated individuals with a heart of gold and a mouth we can’t control!
Some of our significant others have also learned a lot from our grandmother, like how hard it is to gain her trust and acceptance but once you have it you will always have it. When you make a promise you better keep it or be forever haunted by it! They learned how to forgive and forget wrongs. Always have coffee rolls in hand when you come to see her, God better be with you if you come empty handed!
There are so many things we have learned from our grandmother. So many memories we will all cherish for a lifetime. A lot of everyday simple things will bring a smile to our faces, like eating a bag of Lays potato chips and finding the curly ones and snatching them from each other’s hands. These little things will always remind us of her.
Whenever we thought our world was crashing down all around us, she was our rock and savior. She was our super hero when we were scared or sick. She was our shoulder to cry on. (Or lap in some cases) when we were sad. She was our stern voice with soft hands. She always had room in her heart for forgiveness. She is our guardian angel.
She’s not gone, she’s still right here, she’ll be watching us throughout the years. While we sleep, when we’re sad, when we’re getting married, whenever we’re glad. So please dry your tears. She’s now in heaven with our Lord. No more pain and no more fear.
You were an angel in the shape of our mom’s. When we fell down you’d be there holding us up. You got to see the people we have become so spread your wings as you go, and we know that when God took you back he said “Hallelujah, you’re home.”
You will always be with us, in our hearts, where ever we go, whatever we see.
We love and we’ll miss you dearly Grandma. Until we meet again.

Grandma;
You have been my rock for so long i honestly don't know how life will be without you. You have always been their for me in more ways then i could count. I know you passed on my birthday so I would never forget you not that I wouldn't ever forget but you know me well enough to know i suck at remembering dates. One of my favorite memories is when you and i would watch scary movies together and eat so much popcorn (which gave us both gas lol) we would so gas the house out. Walter Libby and Tracy walked into the house and walked right out lol. I could write a book on the things you did for me and it would be a 10 book chronicle or more. this still doesn't feel real. Anthony and I love you so very much Grandma. xoxo

I'm sorry for the loss of your mother. She was a hard working woman and a co-worker of mine for many years . She loved her children. May she rest in peace.

Please accept my condolences during this time of distress. While it is indeed sad that you are mourning the loss of your dear Nolita, it saddens God more. In the days ahead, you will reflect on seemingly small, yet precious memories. While doing so, take comfort in knowing that just as you have memories, our creator, almighty God remembers as well. But only He has the ability to restore perfect life on earth to those in His memory. Therefore, you can appreciate how the Bible further stress the fact in this video:

Aunt lita I will miss you so much but I am comforted knowing that you will still be watching over me and that you are with my brother and many other dear family and friends that were taken from us all too soon. I loved going to your home as a child and staying there some summers. you and my sister and brother cousins were always my home away from home,our second home. as we all grew up and went separate ways you were always there for me. I will never forget being sick and having to have surgery and I was so scared just diagnosed with crohns and you called me in the hospital reassuring me that it will be ok that you had crohns and you gave me advice on what it was and what foods to avoid and what I would go thru. you eased my mind and heart and I was so happy and felt so loved by you. I love you so much,youve taught me a lot and scolded me too just like a aunt that cares and loves me.thanku for loving me so much!!! you will be missed so much and youll always be in my heart. rest in peace aunt lita .john and my children, your great nieces and nephew Mathew,jennifer and Rebecca and great great nephew kalon all love you and will miss you and we all send our love and condolences to Brenda,nolita,dale janet,tracey and the whole family we love you all so so much and here for you all.

Mom you taught us all to be a strong honest loving careing men and women. You taught us that all things are possible if your willing to work for it. Family always held most importance to you and we taught our children the same family values in your image. I'm not sure how to process / express my emotions right now but one thing I'm sure of is I know your watching and will help me /us thru it. I may have lost you as my mom in body today but I've gained a beautiful loving Angel that I know will watch over me till eternity. Love you more than any words could ever say. Always and Forever your eldest daughter.

Mom, you are the most amazing woman I have ever known. You taught me everything I needed to know and some things I didn't. You were there when I needed you and always ready to help. You told us the word can't is really not an acceptable word as you CAN do anything you set your mind to. You stated if we wanted steak and potatoes we needed to work hard but if your okay with soup and sandwiches well you won't need to work hard at all. I guess we all choose steak and potatoes to make you proud. You were our mother, grandmother, great grandmother, sister, Aunt and Cousin but most of all our BEST FRIEND! I will miss you Mom and will never forget you. I love you to the moon and back! Gone but will never be forgotten. R.I.P Mom.
