So sorry for your loss. Your family is my thoughts and prayers.
Memories–so many, we always knew how to have fun, even though we had to face the music
(Bruce), when we got home later than we said! Ro-ro! I miss the 4 Musketeers (Gert, Gerry, Arlyn Susie Q)! I will never forget those days. You’re always in my heart, Luv ya, Susie Q
Grandma, I am forever grateful for your raising me and always being there for not just me but also for Jaxon in the middle of the night when we had nowhere to go… you welcomed us no questions asked. I consider you and Grandpa Gene my parents. I know all about you and nothing about my mother because she neglected me without you. I’m not sure where I would be but you and your memory are the happiness of my life and I can never repay you for the love that you’ve shown me. And then you went on to show that same love to Jaxon as I’m sure you were exhausted from raising your daughter’s children but then you suck in my son. No questions asked just with gratitude of family. You are my hero and honor you and Grandpa it’s because of you that I have positive memories of my childhood Because without you I wouldn’t have any. And there’s a lot of people that know that that witness things that kept their mouth shut and I suffered tremendously for it, but thank God you were there because you showed me that there is actually love and light in the world and that’s the type of mother I am to Jaxon The way you mothered me with love, kindness, happiness, excitement, appreciation, honor your influence on me is what got me through all of the extremely dark times with my mom and stepfather.
