Grandma there are no true words to express how I feel right now. I love you soo much and it hurts so much that my kids will not get to know you. I know you are free now and in a better place with my mom and many others again. Love you always <3 Elizabeth Hart
I will miss my sister very much , I will miss her smiling when I would bring her strawberry dishes or anything strawberry it was a little special thing we had , I will miss her making her Gingerbread house at Christmas .
Jackie was my second oldest sister , we used to sunbathe together many years ago, i used to hang out with her , I learned a lot from her, like how to dress and do my nails and wear lipstick and just be prissy , her passing on is bitter sweet , yes I miss her but i know I will see her again because I know where she is and i know that she is happy and reunited with all her loved ones and friends ,but mostly because she’s with the Lord
I just reread what I wrote and realized I didn’t mention how much I loved my sister Jackie , I guess I just figure it goes without saying ,but also I want to mention that she was very beautiful and very much a lady ,and very special to me . I’ll be looking for the shooting star and remembering her smile .
We miss you aunt Jackie!!! You will always have a place in our hearts. Love you forever!!!!! your great neice nikki.
Jackie,
You were one of my older sisters and I always looked up to you. You have been so brave during your illness and an inspiration to your whole family, including me!! Ann and I will miss you every day, and think of you when we see all your collections of cookie jars, etc., etc.. We know you are in a better place and we will be seeing you. Love. Your brother and Ann.

My condolences go out to the Ward family. I’m an old coworker and friend of Larry’s. He told me great things about his mother and always smiled when spoken of her. I don’t know you all personally but you all are in my prayers. To see a friend of mine lose a family member is the strongest pain I can feel, especially when it’s his mother. God Bless you all.
My mom was a sweet caring mother who was willing to give me or any of us advice. She was always there to help whenever and wherever she could. I miss our daily telephone calls mostof all I am going to really miss our Sundays playing Bingo together. You are in a better place now no more hurting you are with all your loved ones there. You have got your angel wings & are an angel of god.I love you & miss you more than words could ever tell.I’ll be watching for the shooting star!!!
