Grandma, I so wish that I would've been allowed to have you in my life growing up. However, Diane would not allow that. I tried to have a moment with you @ your casket, but Paula had to ruin that by pointing & laughing @ me with her arm around Kristen while I was attemping to have a final moment with my thoughts & memories. Kent stopped me as I was leaving with tears in my eyes and said "she was your grangma too, don't let them do this to you." Sunday, the day before Memorial Day I took purple flowers to your grave site & said a prayer to you. I was shocked that the flower urn hadn't been turned right side up, nor did anyone else take the time to put any flowers out for you & grandpa. I thought this was awful. Where was the "respect" from the one's who made it unbearable for me to say a proper "good-bye". I do have a few good memories of dad, you & grandpa and being @ your home. I will forever cherish those in my heart. And yes, I whole heartedly believe that life would've been so much better growing up with a dad who adored us, instead of a bitter tyrant of a mother that we had in Diane. Love & miss you, Shari
