I have not yet come to terms with losing you. I understand time heals all and know that you are truly happy once again. If only that helped ease the pain in my heart. I am proud to say I am Jean Evelyn’s granddaughter. You will be missed much more than you would ever believe. Please smile down on little Faith everyday as she knows her G.G. will be watching from the sky. I love you grandma.
Joanna, Sorry to hear of your Mothers passing. Just wanted to let you know you are in my thoughts and prayers. May God Bless and be with you at this time. Kathy Taylor
