Grannie,

I'll miss you more than words can say... and even though I am no longer the little girl in the nightgown who danced her legs off to the roar of your laughter..I still feel like the little girl lost without her Grandma... I'll always smile whenever I see a lemon meringue pie... you always knew it was my favorite.. and I'll stand proud remembering how your face lit up when I placed my own daughter in your arms just months ago..My only regret is that she didnt get her chance to dance her legs off for you... I love you grandma..

Love,

Mary

I am so sorry to hear of the loss of Mrs.Driggers. I did not know until tonight or I would have gone to the funeral home.

Please know that I have your family in my prayers and you have my condolences, if there is anything I can do please let me know.

Losing a mother is one of the hardest things we have to do in life.

I am with you all in your grief.
