My grandmother was a light my whole life 🖤 Always a warrior, never a quitter. I believed that if anyone could live forever – it would be her because she was most definitely to stubborn to be take out. She lived a long life where she shared in the joys of loving and being loved by her family. May we all find a moment of peace to rest our hearts in the comfort that she will be forever kept safe in the folds of heaven, as she reunites with Her sons and grandson, Glen.
She was my big sister. When I got to ride the bus for the first time Alice was there to help me. She graduated valedictorian the year I started kindergarten. She was always kind. I will miss my sister 😢

But decorate it ourselfs .my mom had to work late so we couldnt make the cake together . So she did it all when she got home . It had chocolate fostering and it was fall scenes it really looked like I did it. It was a mess orange blobs must have been pumpkins a tree with leaves who knows was a mess compared to this other cake that had a perfect Maple Sugar Leaf in the center of it was beautiful
My sister has a special place forever in my heart. We shared our bedroom, we learned sewing together, crocheting, quilting, etc. along with Grandma Roland’s and Mom’s help. There was much laughter and giggles between us; to be treasured always. Rest in Peace.❤️🩷💜
My mom was always a pillar of strength I watched her as she worked herself to the Bone but she always had time for us if we needed something she was the strongest woman that I’ve ever known and I miss her greatly may you rest in Peace Mommy I love you forever
