Your Loving son,

This is a beautiful tribute to a wonderful lady. I am grateful that I got to know your grandmother. I grew to love her. I feel grateful for the things that I learned from her and especially the past few days as I have seen an amazing display of love from those whom she loved the most. It has all been an amazing thing for me to be a part of. Denise, Reed, Robert, Lesli, Nancy, and Carl, you have been so incredibly generous to us, in allowing us to participate and feel involved in the activities.
I feel so proud of my Dad as I watch this and recognize how devoted he was to your mother, and by extension, each of you. I also thank each of you for being so loving and kind to him--with open hearts.

Hello, Mother. I miss you. I am so very thankful that I was by your side the last few days. I love you, Mom. I will keep a loving eye out for Walter. He is such a good man. We all love him dearly. There has been quite the crowd gathering to say goodbye to you. We will all miss you-Shannon, Samantha, Ramon, Michael,Justice, Mikayla and Korie send their love. I really miss you, Mother. I know that you are watching over me and mine with unconditional love. I will start the lessons with the missionaries soon, so, smile.
I love you.

Hey Grandma!
It's me Brandon. I would just like to thank you for all the love you have given me. I am really going to miss you. I loved when I came out here to see you! I'd always give you a big hug and tease you about being short. Then you'd hit me :) I'm really going to miss you. I have basically a whole life before I will see you again, but I will look forward to it. I hope you are happy and seeing all your family. We love you here.
Love,
Brandon

Dear mom,
I have such an incredible emptiness. I miss you so much. Thank you for the unconditional love you gave me. Thank you for bringing me up in the Church and being such a great example. Your incredible strength and courage will always be an example to me. I could not have done what you did, especially with the finesse in which you did it. I feel incredibly overwhelmed sometimes, and I'm not doing it alone, I have a wonderful husband to help me. I never once felt you wanted to give up or that going to our activities was was a burden. Waiting up to make sure you were up for work for the midnight shift or staying up to pick you up at midnight are memories I will keep forever. Even with your busy schedule you made sure I was up for seminary and helped me with a paper route at 4:30 in the morning.
Thank you for the gift of music. I know music kept you close to your Heavenly Father and my testimony grows so much through music.
I feel like I missed out on so much because I was so far away all the time. I am, however, thankful for our phone calls we shared so often and the encouragement you always gave me when I was feeling down or challenged. I owe everything I am to you and your example.
I miss you so much. The only thing that gets me through it is knowing that you have been met with open arms and that when it is my turn you will be there waiting for me. Thank you for teaching me the Gospel. I don't know how I would get through this without that knowledge.
I love you mom.
Love,
Lesli Rae
Well Momma...
This has indeed been a rough day..I wanted to call you and wish you a MERRY CHRISTMAS!! But I guess you got the best present of all! I am sure that heavenly Father is so pleased with you and all you have done..., Especially all of the unconditional love that you gave to your children. I am proud to say you are my mother, and I hope and pray that I can do the same for my children.I Love You Mommy....
