Darrell, Kathy, Nathaniel and Dustin,

Your mom had a beautiful service. I can hear her say "That's nice now ain't it"
The memories we have as children at grandma's will always be cherished and your mom was a part of that. She used to call to check on "Grandma", as she too called her, when I was staying with her. She could call your name like no other person I have ever heard. I mean it could last sooo long (smile) I can hear her calling your name now, and she's telling you that she is ok, she knows your heart hurts because you miss her, but she is in such a good place.
You know I am always here for you. And I am so glad our families were raised as close as we are because we never second guess if the other will show up. We have some strong roots.
Love you all.
