I miss you terribly grandma, I hope you are having a blast in heaven!
(I wanted her fave color-turqoise-for a candle, they don't have & hitting blue doesn't work😢) I love you Mom...I thank you & am grateful still for you giving me the greatest gift of all, the knowledge about our Heavenly Father & about being born again! There is NOTHING greater you could've done than that & you've done A LOT mom!!! I will miss all of our long weekly talks that you gave to me for so many years. From 1989-2016. I know you've said your sorry about the hardships I traversed from 1982-1989 & I've forgiven you, it's nothing. Please forgive me for being a typical teenager. Those times made me grow up quick! I needed that. As I've always told you, you are the #1 person I most admire & always will be. You were an amazing lady & have always been loved by everyone!!! As always, if I could be just .05% of you, I'd be perfect! I LOVE & MISS YOU MOM! OH GOD I MISS YOU!
You were my best friend in every way. I am so heart broken. I love you Momma Mia.
To me my Mother was the definition of "Unconditional Love".
I enjoyed taking care of her. She could be feisty at times. When she was able she liked to help me in the kitchen, cooking or doing the dishes. She was a lovely woman to take care of, and an honor to know her. I will miss her deeply. Sharon Hicks
