Although I did not get to see you as much as I would have liked, I did enjoy getting letters and cards. I will miss sending you pictures and updates on your great-great grandchildren and you will be greatly missed in my heart.
Love to you Great Grandma –

I am thankful for the strength and care that Great Grandma Elta shared. She cared for me with homemade doll clothes as a little girl and faithful cards in the mail as I traveled to far away places. She was thoughtful and kind, and she will be missed.
