I miss you so much, grandma. Times were simpler and happier when you were here. I hope you're keeping an eye on me and I hope I'm becoming a person you're proud of.

I was shocked of learning Dolores had past away. I just talked to her two weeks ago. We worked together at the Navy Exchange for many years. And always kept in touch. We'd call each other. She would tell me about her cat Shelby. And me about my dog Lacey. I would always ask her when are you going to retire. She would say one day,but said,she wouldn't know what to do with herself. I.m going to miss her & our phone calls.

I am so sorry to hear about the passing of Delores. She was a client of mine at Hair Graphics Salon. I enjoyed serving her and we always had stories to tell each other about work, family, and of course hair styles. I will miss her and I know her family will miss her as well. She was so happy to talk about her children and grands. I send my sympathy and prayers for you all.

Rest in peace "Pumpkin" (her father called her that when she was young).

My Mother was so loved by everyone who knew her. There are no words that could possibly explain the love I have for her. She was my Mother, my friend, my Rock. I will miss everything about her, and look forward to the time when we meet again. It's comforting to know she has some great company in Heaven, and am sure she has plenty of good stories to tell. Rest in peace Mom, I know you will enjoy looking over all of us, and fussing about what we're doing that you don't like or that your way is better! I love you and miss you dearly. Your daughter, Darlene.

I will always miss the hilarious little pranks we would play on Darlene. I remember when we went to the shoe store and grandma stayed in the car. But while we were looking at stuff she came in and sat behind Darlene, me and grandma were snickering the whole time.. I'll always miss her caring and loving self, her sassy attitude, she was the best grandma ever. Sometimes in the car when I look out the window, I imagine her ghost with big beautiful angel wings, flying around being free as a bird. Fly free, Grandma. I will always miss you, I will never forget you.

We all sure are gonna miss you. Your love and generosity was felt by everyone who knew you. What I will miss the most is that sass.... you were one feisty thing. To sit there and listen to you and Darlene bicker back in forth was always so entertaining. I am going to miss you old lady (what I would jokingly always call her) and its not going to be easy without you here keeping us in line. I love you Dolores and I know you are resting high above with our Lord. Until we meet again.
