May 29, 1934 - July 17, 2009
Today we say goodbye to you on earth. I only had four wonderful years with you. I remember the first day I met you. You met a young insecure woman with many issues on her plate. I know that you wondered if I was the right choice for your grandson and probably had doubts about me. But you gave me a chance and opened up your heart and let me in anyway..
You loved me and excepted me as one of your own grandchildren. We shared many storys of our lives with each other and we both shed tears together,both happy and sad ones..
When you talked of your beloved husband Jim I could see the love that you still held for him after all those years and the pain of having to let him go. And I would think to myself, I hope that Eric and I share the kind of love that you and Jim had.
You had the chance to meet two of my daughters and spend a little time with them..See the extensions of my life..I am so happy that you did..
Family meant everything to you. I could see in your eyes the love that you had for every member of your family. You loved them all so graciously.
I remember the day I broke my leg. You drove all the way to Murrells Inlet from Aynor to see if I was alright. You were always putting everyone that you loved first..
As I say goodbye to you today I know that one day we will meet again. I can only dream and hope that I will be half the woman that you were....
