Letter from grandchildren:

Beyond the mountains and the sunsets,

I’ll carry your love with me every day.

Though you’re no longer here to hold my hand, Your strength and kindness still light my way.

I’ll see you beyond the mountains and sunsets, Where heaven meets endless skies.

Until that day, I’ll hold you close in every cherished memory that never dies.

And when the night is quiet, I’ll think of you when I look at the stars.

Each one will remind me that love like yours never fades, no matter how far.

Mamaw, you may be out of sight, but you’ll never be gone from my heart.

Until we meet again beyond the mountains and sunsets, we'll never truly be apart.

their care and concern for our sweet mommy for the last and year and half.
