Grandma.... I remember all the times I would play with your hair and put rollers in it. I loved watching you put curls in your hair with bobby pins. Watching you smoke your cigarettes with the long filters on them. You looked so glamorous, just like a movie star. I felt so special getting to go on vacations with you, sleeping in the motorhome, riding in the boat and riding motorcycles with Grandpa. Your house was the gathering place for all of us. I was so excited to play with all of my cousins. From playing husband and wife with (boy) Jerry Snell to being chased with bloody hands from a deer hanging from the carport to having slumber parties with Tina and sneaking to eat Oreo cookies and banana peppers (yum) and many many more. I love all of my cousins. Who can forget the Holiday dinners in which we were spread out all through the house to eat because there was so many of us. My favorite memories were you and Grandpa kissing and dancing. I will always regret not spending more time with you as an adult!! I love you so very much!! Have fun with Grandpa.

Grandma, we are going to miss you so much. You made sure we knew how much you loved us every day. There was never a time that we
talked that you didn't tell me that you loved me. You were the best grandma to me and the best great grandma to my girls. Thank you and I love you and will miss you every day.

I have the best memories of you Aunt Bim. We didn't see each other often, but when we did, you treated me as if no time had passed since our last meeting. I loved listening to you and my grandmother talk and laugh together. I can hear your voice as clear as if you were standing here talking to me now. I know you will be so dearly missed by all. To my family in Colorado....please know I am thinking of you all and understand what you must be feeling. Sending you my thoughts and prayers. Love to all

Mom, I will miss you so much. You are more than my mom you are my best friend. Thank you for taking such good care of me. You are now in heaven with dad walking the streets of gold. We had many conversations about how beautiful heaven and Jesus are and now you know. I know you will be with me whenever I eat at one of our restaurants. We will miss you so much at our birthday dinners. The boys said they will hold a spot at the table for you. I LOVE YOU!!!!
