If roses grow in heaven, Lord, then pick a bunch for me. Place them in my grandma’s arms and tell her they’re from me. Tell her that I love and miss her, and when she turns to smile, place a kiss upon her cheek and hold her for a while. ♡ Goodbyes are not for ever just for a little while. Until we meet again see you later Crocodile! ♡ xoxo

Always enjoyed talking to Ruby, she always made me laugh and I to her. Im soo glad she is at peace. And that she was my neighbor. Love to all the family.
Lynn says
No matter where we were, their place has always been home. The porch light always on letting us know that we were always welcomed and wanted unconditionally. Grandpa always in his chair watching TV with grandma or playing solitaire on his computer. And if grandma wasn’t with grandpa she was in the computer room playing bingo or doing genealogy. It’s been over 11 years since we could walk through those doors and see grandpa and grandma together watching tv. It gives me peace to know that they are together again. So rest easy grandma and give grandpa a hug and a kiss from all of us. While I am sad that you are gone, I know that you are at peace. You will forever be loved and missed. Until I see you again.
💋 got ya last.
