She would literally feed anyone with a great home cooked meal. She was everyone’s mom whenever you were around her.. just wished I never moved so far away..
one of my oldest memories with her was when she would make me and isabell sugared strawberries. whenever i eat them i always think of her. i love you grandma, rest in peace <3
Still can’t believe she is gone so soon. Her fierceness and unique personality always made me smile. As we navigate these times and assist our children missing their grand mother I will always share the many laughs we shared. If I learned anything from her it was to always speak your thoughts. She was a very vocal person and always told you exactly what she thought. She will be missed and every time I grab a coke from the fridge she will be in my thoughts. We love you and will always miss you.
one of my oldest memories with grandma was when we went to this mcdonald’s with a huge playground and me and her ate a bunch of apple pies together and it was just really fun. i cant believe she is gone and i will miss her a lot.
You were so awesome woman ! Always laughing and smiling. Roro loved your precious soul and so did I. Baby RaRa too. I’m so thankful you got to meet him and hold him. Thank you for having an amazing daughter who loved you to no end. I promise to be one of the greatest friends. Forever and always. You didn’t like strangers but find my mom up there for me! Enjoy each others company. Love always, Kayla, Hass, Kairo, Hayden, and baby RaRa
The best memory I have of her, is when it snowed back in 93 it waa so bad! It snowed us in ! And we had a sleep over ! It was the best ever!
Man, where do I even start? Honestly you were almost my mom. My other mom. More of a mom than my own, kind of mom. I have so many memories over the years that I wouldn’t even know where to begin and I would just run out of room. Marsha you were loud and stern. But knew exactly who you were! You raised the BEST person in my life and without you I wouldn’t have her. You loved the kids as your own grandkids and even kept Zoey’s baby shower things when my own blood didn’t show up. We love you and miss you to much for words. Until we see each other again! 💜💜
