Grandma, I know you are in peace and reuniting with grandpa and your daughter as well as other family members. I don't know what my future will hold with out you. You were my everything, the one who I would tell absolutely everything to and not be judge. I just can't seem to understand why it was your time. Probably because grandpa needed you. I will always love you and I will always remember and cherish everything you have done for me and my babies. Thank you for the wonderful life you have gave me. Ill miss you always and we will all be together again one day. Until then…give grandpa and Jeremiah's dad the biggest hug ever from us. I love you grandma.

I'm am so sorry I couldn't be at the funeral today. I couldn't get off work for the trip. I loved talking to Aunt Gay about the family. Her memories were so vivid when she talked about my mom and dad, I could picture every story in my mind. She told me stories that I had never heard and later shared with my siblings. You could hear the love in her voice when she talked about my mom. I will always treasure those stories. Rest in peace Gay, I know everyone is happy to see you again. Love you all, hope to see/ meet you all. We're family!!

I would like to express my heartfelt sympathy to the family for the loss of your dear Gay. I hope that you will find comfort in the words of Jesus at John 5:28,29 where he promised that the day is coming when he is going to resurrect back to life those in the grave. Until then, it is just like they are sleeping. (John 11:11-13) May your family draw strength from Jehovah, the God of all Comfort.
