What wonderful memories you leave us with.

Jordon,
Last year your Nanna was telling me about the essay paper you had written about her. I asked if I could read it. She let me read it. It made her so happy to have those loving thoughts from you. It was so touching to me that I asked her for a copy and she gave me one. I treasure it. It is a fitting obituary to your precious Nanna. You and Brenna brought so much joy to her life.

Terry,
Your Mom was so excited about her last visit with you recently. How she loved ‘getting sugar’ from her great-granddaughter. She was so encouraged about the ‘color’ you were getting in your bad leg. She prayed constantly for you. I do also.
Love you,
Wynelle
