Momma I love you so much and I am going to miss you forever! :’(
What a true Saint, I am truly blessed to be the grandchild home is named after such a wonderful woman. She raised me, and instilled the great loving, woman that I am today.
I am truly blessed to have had her raise me.
She is not only my grandmother, she is my mother. Always, and forever. I will be delightfully speaking to her every day, because I know she is in heaven looking down upon me and smiling because I lead a great, healthy life. I love you mama!
Granny,
God truly blessed my life and those around you by sending an angel. You were my salvation in a time when I needed shelter from a dark world. You were loving, selfless and dedicated to raising me and being my biggest inspiration. All that I am and will become is because of you praying for me and showing me that true love is lending a hand and heart to anyone who is in need. I love you always and forever
Your baby,
Ashley
This lovely woman was a huge influence on the first ten years of my life. Her and my Aunt Ann would take me to church every weekend so I could learn about the Word of God. It helped me turn into the man I am today because she wanted what was best for me. Every other day, I would go see my grandma and spend hours on end just being with her and talking to her. Whether we were watching TV Land, making food, playing with Sassy, or her favorite, watching traffic from her door. I can truly say she was an inspiration to me. I always did what Grammy said, especially eating my Naners. Because if I didn’t, I was about to grab a switch from the yard. She would always tell me what cartoons I could and couldn’t watch. Yugioh was my favorite tv show of all time and even though she wouldn’t let me watch it because it was violent, I still watched it if I begged and begged. To this day I think about that, and to this day I am still active in the Yugioh community. All because of someone who let me watch a simple cartoon.
I cannot describe the love I have for her.
I love you Grammy. I always will.
Your grandson, Robert William Burnett.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you. Rest assured she is in a wonderful place. God is good!
Friends of David

Mom, you went away. How dare you. I miss you.
They say I’ll be okay, but I’m not EVER, gonna get over you..
I love & miss you! so much!
I hear your voice everyday. You were my very first love.
Mom, I am so grateful for the 10 wonderful years we had together. We laughed and had many good times just being together. And then there were the serious times of sharing our lives together with our Lord Jesus blessing us daily as we read His word together and prayed. I am so thankful for the way God restored our lives. I miss you terribly. I miss your singing and I miss hearing you pray. I miss you being so funny with Wayne and I. Our lives were so enriched by your presence. You are with Jesus now and we will see you soon. Just wait by the river and I will be looking for you. Tell Jesus we love Him and to come quickly…
Mom,I really do LOVE you and miss you very much.
3 And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God.
4 And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.
5 And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful.
6 And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely. Revelation 21:3-6 KING JAMES BIBLE
I think about Granny everyday.
She was one of the last of her kind and the world is left impoverished in her wake. I was fortunate to have such a role model: she was the first to love me unconditionally and taught me about Grace and Forgiveness. I hate that our time together was so brief but I am happy that I can still hear her voice and her laughter in my head.
Granny, I miss you so very much and I’m so happy I had a chance to be raised by you. I cherish our memories and time together. You loved me, took care of me and protected me. I love you forever and I can’t wait to see/hug you again. Your baby always
