My regret is that we did not get to see you one last time. That you did not get to meet your great great granddaughter that I know would have brought you so much joy.
I am grateful that I got to have you for my grandmother for such a long time. I will cherish the memories especially as I grew into adult hood and really got to know you as a woman; not just as my grandma.
You are loved and will be missed.
Rest peacefully.
Dear Mom….I’m the luckiest person to be raised by a caring, loving Mother. From my childhood to adulthood, I’m a reflection of you. You and Dad gave me everything I needed to be successful, and I know you did your best. I’m grateful we had you for so long, and for the Christian upbringing I follow to this day. I looked out the window for a sign you made it to your eternal home safely …and behold two Cardinals appeared on a tree close to my view, one even pecked to say hello. You and Dad , together, a sign of angels.. missed but never forgotten

Our sincere sympathy to the Say family in the passing of your sweet mom. We lived beside her for many years on Longview Dr. I always enjoyed your mom’s friendly conversation. We must give credit to parents that raised us so well and instilled the best of them into us! What a long life and now in her heavenly home. Eleanor, Valarie and Vince Jr.
