I Remember…

BEING AT CHURCH WITH YOU

Sitting by you at church
Your little tin full of candies
Opening your heart shaped locket
Seeing you be friendly to everyone
Hearing your voice praising God
Meals out at Mr. Steak,
Grandpa saying he was about to drive away without you because you were still inside talking…

YOUR GENEROSITY

My doll collection
Souvenirs from all your trips
My opal ring
Your wedding crystal
Letting us use your home for our honeymoon
Loving Phil as your own grandchild
Countless beautiful paintings to decorate our house
Welcoming each of my children with excitement and joy
6 hours of driving for a 2 hour birthday party for my kids

YOUR PRESENCE

At my school programs
At my band concerts
At my piano recitals
And always back to your house or out for ice cream afterward

YOUR ENTREPRENEURSHIP

Art shows
Your antique shop in the barn
Your note cards

GOOD TIMES!!

Ice cream sandwiches on the porch swing at the farm
Traveling in “The Rig”
Complete relaxation at the condo in Acapulco
My 13th birthday present – ITALY!!
Christmas Eve at your house: special music, singing,
bible reading, great food, BINGO, and shower caps
Your condo in Florida: hot tub, dinners out, Sequence, Mixons, the Red Barn
Boating, tubing, skiing, knee boarding, and more card games at Mullett Lake
Chocolate covered pretzels and peanut butter/chocolate treats at Christmas, biscuits and gravy, and a drawer full of candy bars. You’ve been there through the phases of my life, encouraging, supporting, and teaching me by example.

God has blessed me beyond belief with a strong, beautiful, involved grandma. Your devotion to God and your family is something to be emulated. Your trust in God and His providence is what each believer should aspire to.
I’m so thankful God has given me you, Grandma. What a beautiful gift you are.
