August 5, 2023 at 4:46 pmI’ll make an effort not to cry since I know you’re at peace in paradise. Just your affection, thoughtful actions, smile, and gentle love I will miss. Even if the rest of the world would soon forget you, I will continue to be the excellent granddaughter you raised me to be and I will never forget you.

August 8, 2023 at 6:10 pmAww Ms. Ruth, I know how much you love your momma. I know how much she love you too. I really had hoped to see her again. I grew to love her and treated her as if she were my grandma. I thank you for your appreciation! I was happy to be there taking care of your beautiful mom! She will continue to be missed but I know that she is in a better place and no longer suffering. Please let me know if there is anything I can do Ms. Ruth and thank you so much for your kindness towards me. 🫶
