We both love you so much Grandma! We will miss you dearly! We have so many happy memories to cherish and we are so happy you are with Grandpa again! Love you!
I love and miss you mom!
Momma Karla, I know you cannot see these words, but writing them here is the only choice I have because you were taken before I could tell you in person. I want you to know that the love you gave to each and every one of us while you were here, is the same love we are able to give and share with each other today, as we gather together trying to make sense of it all. It hurts so badly, we are devastated, yet we also know we are going to be o.k. now, too, because we will get through this together, just like you taught us, we will survive it together as always. I heard this fact repeated again and again from each of your children and grandchildren, their spouses and even your friends. It's because of you and Daddy Dwayne, it's because of your undying love and support, your strength in times of our weaknesses, your encouragement in times of our failures, and because of the constant example you provided in our lives that showed us how we live, how to do the right thing, how to be humble and compassionate. I will never EVER forget the parents you became to me and to countless others when we didn't have our own. You are more than just a mother, sister, daughter, wife, grandmother. You were a role model to all women and a true friend to anyone who ever met you. I know you are with Daddy now, and just when I think there is no way I will ever smile again because I cannot stop crying, I can picture you dancing with daddy up there and I do manage to smile through my tears. I remember you dancing with daddy at my wedding reception. I remember the way you supported me that day as he walked me down the isle. I could see the love you two shared back then and it gave me such pride on my wedding day. I wish I could have said these things to you before you were taken from us. Thank you for everything you've given us in your life time. Your legacy will live on forever. Tell Daddy we miss him to the moon and back. I'm blessed beyond measure to have known your love.
Sending our heartfelt sympathy to all of you during this time. Eventho I didn't have the opportunity to meet your mom, I know she had to be one special lady with the daughters and grandchildren she raised. May God give you the strength and courage to get you through her loss and the peace and comfort to move on. Amy Harper and family
