Grandma Jenkins, I first met you as a child of about 5 years of age but I still remebered you after Christal and I became a couple some 24 years later. My son Collin immediately was at home around you from his first contact with you. Young children are innocent and immediately see the good in people and he had you pegged from the first time he met you. For the last few months his first question when I would pick him up was "Are we going to Grandma Jenkinses to play on the train?" I don't know what I'm going to say to him Wednesday when he asks me this. We both loved spending time with you because you made us feel at home and could feel your kindness and love just being in your presence. I thank you and love you for always being there and for everything you've done for my family and you'll never be forgotten. Luke & Collin Hardy.

Granny, you are more than a grandmother you were my friend. We had a relationship built on love,laughs, and bickering. You always knew what to say to make me feel better or what I NEEDED to hear. You helped make me the person that I am today and I THANK YOU. I am going to miss our shopping trips(I know I can never find anything that I like) and lunch dates where you ordered exactly what I did :). Thank you for all of the time that you spent with me as a child. I have so many great memeories of going fishing with you and grandpa "Grandpa, let's just take her home" and the long car rides where you would tell me that we were lost but I did not care because I was with you and Grandpa. Thank you for always taking me to the "BIG" park even though you had a park across the street. I miss you terribly but I know that you will always be with me. I LOVE YOU GRANDMA MOSES!!!
