Dear Grandma,
It’s hard to put into words how much you meant to me and how much I’ll miss you. You had this incredible way of lighting up a room with your smile, your laugh, and your warm heart. And I like to think I helped keep that smile going—I’ll always treasure the way we could make each other laugh until tears streamed down our faces.
You were so much more than just my grandmother; you were my partner-in-crime for all the family shenanigans, my biggest cheerleader, and the glue that held all of us together. From your famous gardening tips to your unwavering love for the Cowboys (even when they didn’t deserve it), you taught me what it means to live life with passion and humor.
I’ll miss our moments of laughter, the way you could make even the toughest days a little brighter, and the joy you brought to every single person lucky enough to know you. My heart hurts, Grandma, but I know you’re at peace now, and that thought gives me comfort. I’ll carry your laughter, love, and strength with me always.
Rest easy, Grandma. And don’t worry—I’ll keep working on my jokes in your honor.
With so much love, Kevin
Dear Grandma,
Words cannot fully express the depth of loss I feel in saying goodbye to you. You were the light in our family, the cornerstone of love, strength, and wisdom. I feel so blessed to have been your granddaughter and to have shared countless cherished moments with you.
Your life was an inspiration—a testament to perseverance, love, and devotion. From raising your own children with endless care to embracing your role as “Mima” to all of us, you showed what it meant to love selflessly. The stories you told, the laughter we shared, and the warmth of your embrace will stay with me forever.
You were more than just a grandmother—you were my confidante, my role model, and my biggest cheerleader. Your spirit, full of joy and resilience, will continue to guide me every day. I will miss the way you made everyone feel special, the sparkle in your eyes when the Dallas Cowboys played, and your love for all things that brought you happiness.
Though my heart aches with your absence, I find comfort in knowing that you are at peace and reunited with those you held dear. Your legacy lives on in all of us, and we will strive to honor the beautiful life you lived.
Rest in peace, Grandma. I love you more than words can say.
Forever your granddaughter, Tina
I have so many memories with mima. I remember back when I was little she and Aunt bunnie would do "arts and crafts" and they both would teach me (or try to) how to craft.For me Crafting was fun to watch but It wasn't the easiest for me to learn. I would play with the glue gun as toy and put glue on things I shouldn't. Oops(I was just a kid,ha), but in doing that and not realizing that at that time, the glue was hot,I did end up putting some glue on myself! (lesson learned real quick on what not to do .😂 ) But it was a fun and interesting experience, and going to the crafts show was just as fun. I really enjoyed it, but most importantly, I just enjoyed being with mima .Mima was a big source of comfort for me. Mima is now reunited with My Dad Jimmy. I'll visit with each of them in my thoughts daily. All my love eternally, Tina ♡
