Tanner Rhodes

Roses are red, violets are blue
I love you!
Do you love me, too?
I feel so lonely without you.
I get cold and let out a big achoo!
My heart feels like roses with you, so please don't leave
or I'll let out another achoo!
It's Valentine's Day, so give me a kiss, and I'll give you some chocolate bliss.
I saw cupid just fly over you, and I told him she's mine, because you're my Valentine!

Grandma
When I was growing up, you were my best friend. We would play games, and you always let me win.
We raced golf carts and bikes, and you let me stay with you so many nights.
We loved to listen to Elvis, because he was the best. We never missed his movies, they were better than the rest.
You were my biggest fan when I would dance and sing. We did just about everything!
You were the best cook, making three meals a day. I remember it all just like it was yesterday.
You were the hardest working woman I have ever seen, from sun up to sunset. You always made sure our needs were met.
When I graduated from college, you were still my biggest fan, and you bought me my first business suit to lend me a hand.
Then my marriage day came, and you were still by my side. You were even more beautiful than the bride.
You helped me work on my first home. With you here by my side, I was never alone.
Then Tanner came along, and he loved you so much. There is nothing like a Great-grandmother's touch.
You were always with us no matter where we went. Our biggest fan, you were God sent.
I will miss you so much, but I will see you again. In Heaven one day, my best friend.
Love you, Chrissy

Memories: Things I will always remember:
I will always remember as a little girl, helping you in the chicken houses when me and grandma would spend the week-end with you.
I will always remember the Christmas Eve parites at the store.
I will always remember picking grapes and eating them until I got sick.
I will always remember the stuffed turtle you kept by the fireplace.
I will always remember my daddy saying lets go see "Sister".
I will always remember you!!!!
I love you and know in my heart that you are one of God's angels.
