How I'll miss you Gramie! You gave me soooo many happy memories. I feel blessed to be your granddaughter. Your smile, stories, gentle spirit and loving ways will live on in my heart forever. Someday we'll be reunited. What a day of rejoicing that will be! When we all get to Heaven.... I love you! -Rhonda

The kids will miss giving their Great Gramie a hug and kiss goodnight on their visits to S. Haven. Nick (the dog) will miss the little crusts of toast she'd share from her breakfast each morning. Kevin and I will miss the color commentary she gave on Tiger Woods' putts and the Detroit Tigers relief pitchers. Most of all we'll miss the bright smiles and caring spirit she always shared. We'll miss you, Gramie!

Grammie I love you and miss you already. I'll always remember when we used to write letters, I couldn't keep up, you'd reply to my letter the next day.

I have so many great memories of "Grammie Mom". Helping her answer phones and pass out checks at the heating company, all night card games at Pettycoat, M&M's setting on the counter, roast beef sandwiches waiting for us after the long ride to Florida, and walking across the Singer Bridge. She taught me how to play cribbage and to always send a reply to a letter or you would not get another one! She had a wonderful life and now will enjoy her new home in heaven with the family and friends who went before her. We will all miss you Grammie. Love, Jodie

The thing I most loved and admired about Grammie was her spunk and whit. She was a gentle, sweet person in this often harsh world--a lady to remember.

I will remember Ila as a "favorite" tenant at River Terrace. She was such a lovely lady.....always a smile, soft spoken and such a pleasant disposition. Truly a pleasure to know!!

We remember taking Grammie to Novi to visit Jean and Hank. She told stories in the car and kept smacking me on the arm and laughing. I don't really remember the stories but will never forget the way they were told. We are going to miss you, especially every time there's a Tiger baseball game on.

What I will most miss about Grammie is her giddy laugh, ready smile and many stories. Such a happy personality, and not afraid to speak her mind at times.I remember the evening drives with her and PawPaw to try and spot deer, with the added excitement of the possibility of the ever elusive black bear. I love you Grammie and will never forget you.
