GG, I am grateful for the time that we were able to spend together over the last year or so and that there was the opportunity for you to meet Nancy and your great great granddaughter Stella. I am grateful that I was able to celebrate your 100th birthday with so much family around you and that you were able to bring smiles to everyone's faces that day. I remember bring a young child and going down to your house to visit with you and spending Thanksgiving with you. You have touched so many people in you 100 years of life and you will forever carry on in our memories. On that final night when I was leaving my house to try and come to your side, Stella said to me, "tell GG that I love her." Just know that you are loved and missed by everyone.
-Love, Kevin, Nancy & Stella Little
I’ve enjoyed the time I had when I would come to mom and dads and you would talk about the old days and how things were back then. Walking along side of you while you zoomed around in the scooter. You always had these crazy stories. I love you and will miss you!
Well grandma you were not my grandma even though I called you grandma like everyone else. I only met you a year ago when you came to live with Debbie and Gene. But, from the stories you told me of your amazing 100 year Journey I felt very happy to have you share with me. I know more about your life than I did my own grandmother. I enjoyed having you come for visits with my son Duff and his wife Jennifer. My best memory of you is taking our stroll around the big lake and watching you take in all the scenery, I will miss sitting with you while the others went shopping or to the Dr. R.I.P you were a Blessing to me. And I’m better for having known you!
Grandma, I unfortunately didn't know you well but you and Buster are the only grandparents I ever knew. I remember the two of you coming to Nevada when we lived there. I took Buster into Las Vegas for lunch and a little gambling, when we got home you had boiled all our chicken that we had out for barbecue that night, that was the most bland BBQ any of us ever had! When you were leaving at the airport you hit a jackpot of a couple hundred dollars in quarters and I had to run around the concourse with a bunch of little buckets of quarters to cash them in before you missed your flight. Love you always, rest in peace.
GG. I remembered visiting you as a child when mom and dad would come visit you. I’m so grateful to have spent the last year of your life with you. We’ve enjoyed dressing you up, painting your nails, brushing your hair, taking you on long walks to see Alligators and spoiling you with sweet treats. Shhhh don’t tell “Debbie!” I wish I had more time to spend with you but I know you were ready to go. We’re gonna miss you and all the long stories you’ve shared with us!! WE LOVE YOU. Jennifer, Duff and Paisley.
Grandma, my furthest memory Back as a child was you making Barbie doll & Baby doll clothes, my best recent memories will always be you coming to stay for awhile with Gene & I. Loved watching you drive yourself around the yard On your scooter like you were on a country road. Spending Thanksgiving with my Family & celebrating your 100th birthday surprise we gave you. That was a true blessing for all of us. But the one I love the most is when you became F/B famous sitting on the pool ladder with your feet hanging in the pool I love that you were brave & determined to do it. You were a joy in mine & my Family lives. Love you now, loved you then. And don’t worry about anything anymore Buster will take care of you again. Like I would tell you every night at bedtime “Love You Grandma“ hugs & kisses
