I will always remember your smile and joyful spirit. I can't say that I have ever seen you angry and not full of life. I loved the genuine love you had for your grandson, Jordan, and how you always lit up when you saw him. Our hearts are heavy but we know to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord. We will miss you dearly and know that Jordan has nothing but pleasant memories of you. We promise to continue to make you proud. ~Tosha and Jordan
