"So sorry to hear of your loss. We lost touch in years but when we all lived in the Bush your mom and I talked often. My fondest memory was of her helping me wallpaper our kitchen on Burley. Your mom always talked with my mom too and my mom just passed a month ago. Reine was one sweet lady and I always enjoyed standing on the front with her and my mom. We also went shopping and out to eat. Your mom was so easy to talk with and we had lots of laughs too.Praying for her whole family."

"Dear Grandma, It has been an honor to be loved by you. Goodbyes are always hard, but we will see each other again. Many hearts are broken because God has chosen you to be another one of his Angels. Although we could have kept you with us forever, you were meant for more. As time goes on, you will always be remembered and your endless love will live through the family you created. I love you. -Destiny "
