Grandma Campbell, you were a wonderful grandmother. Some of my earlier memories are of living at your house with mom and dad, playing in the pool where I learned to swim, and having Christmas morning at your house. From now on, each Christmas I’ll think of you sitting in your chair, surrounded by family, smiling at what you and grandpa Campbell built.
Mr Jim and Family, so sorry to hear about your Sister. Sending Prayers to all of you. May She Rest In Peace. No longer suffering.
Jean, I always looked forward to visiting with you every time we came to Debbie’s. You were fun to chat with and I will miss seeing you. Yet we will meet again one day. ♥️
Janet and family, we are so sorry for your loss. Praying for comfort during these next days. Hugs!
