Love you always Grandma. I am so grateful for all the time we were able to spend together. You will be greatly missed.
I will miss you and love you forever and always my sweet dear mother.
You were the best informed person that I know. You taught me all the values that I possess. You taught me well mama. We had some really great times together as a family. Your grandchildren had terrific times at grandma’s house. We will cherish all those amazing memories. Christmas and Thanksgiving dinners were always my favorite. The wedding that you gave me was incredible and everyone that attended had a fabulous time, the food that you prepared with your own two hands; I to this day still talk about it. You were always there when I and my brothers needed you mama. “Mommy” you will be in our hearts ? for always until our last breath.
You touched every soul with love and wisdom that you came in contact with. You have arrived in heaven now so therefore, ENJOY your new next journey that you will be on. Kiss and hug all your friends and loved ones that are up there with you mama.
With lots of love from your children to you mom, our beautiful gorgeous, lovely, friendly mother, Laurel K. Perkins Kane Clarke. We love you!
Love and miss you forever, Grandma. Forever with me
Dear Family
So sorry for your loss. My thoughts and Prayers with all of you.
