What a great joy to know Colleen. I went to church with her {Millcreek Church 1515 east 4500 south] and I met her at Bible Study at K2. She was so much fun and had such a great love for Jesus. I will never forget her courage. "I can do all things in Christ who strengthens me." Phil. 4:13
I will always cherish the wonderful memories I have of you when I was younger. Elizabeth and I always had fun at your house, even when we would get in trouble for eating all the cookie dough or the whole loaf of bread for cinnamon toast. You best the chocolate chip cookies ever and even though I don’t like chocolate, your fudge was the best too. I know you are in a much better place now but I will miss you until we see each other again. Please watch over all us. I love you Granny!
Granny I love you, and will miss you a ton. I know that you are in the best place possible, and that you are saving a place for all of us when he calls on us. I love you granny. My daughter also says I love you big Granny, like she called you when you where here for christmas. XOXO
Dear Family, Please know how dear your mother was to my own family. My mother loved your mother and always had praise for what a wonderful and hard working person she was. When I was little I always felt welcome and loved in her home. (Not to mention all the fun I had!) One particular summer when ya'll lived in Gramma Lupe's house on Date Ave, I spent 2 weeks with your family. With Wanda and Virginia and Estalee at Vacation Bible School. Do you know that your dear mother made dresses for each one of us? One for me, too! Those dresses were absolutely beautiful. I think it was the nicest thing I owned at that time. Her generosity and giving spirit was the perfect example of how to live a Christian life. I always asked about your mother through the years. Sadly, I think the last time I saw her was in the '70s sometime. God bless you all, dear cousins. Know that we will see our mothers again when the roll is called up yonder. Love you all, Paula
