Aunt Ginny,
You really are the best. One thing that I will always remember, among many others, is how amazing your cooking was! Everything you made was so delicious! Especially that blueberry cheesecake! You were always interesting to listen to and had so many things to share. I really wish I could have heard them all. You will be so missed! We all love you so much. There is a special place in all of our hearts that is reserved just for you. I love you Aunt Ginny.

Mom I don't know where to start. You have been the person I have turn to for everything. You have been there to support me for everything in my life. Always encouraging me when I doubted myself. There to comfort me when I was sick or worried. I don't know what I am going to do without you. You have been such a great mother to me. Always going without to help me and my family. I just hope someday I can be the person you were. Mom me and Dad never gave up on you. I love you so much and miss you already. For selfish reasons I didn't want you to go but I knew God needed you. You will ALWAYS BE WITH ME. You suffered so much and I know how hard you fought. I was with you every step.of the way. I know now that you are at peace. Rest in peace Mom
Nonnie, ever since the day I was born you had never stopped loving me and even through thick and thin you were always there for me. You didn't treat me like your grandson you treated me like your own son. You would do anything for me and i would do my best to help you but from the recent chain of events, I tried hard but I couldn't help you. But I know up there in heaven, you are up there watching over me still loving me and protecting me from danger. Thank You Nonnie, for everything you have done. I love you.
