  1. Grandma, I miss all of the times when I was growing up and stayed at your house. We had so much fun together . . . going to the “dime store,” tanning by the back porch, and playing “Aggravation” on the living room floor. I continue to keep those memories alive. Because you accepted Jesus, we will meet again someday in heaven. I love you, Joan
