The girls and I got to come to Jamestown in July. Grandma was so happy when we all walked into her room, she couldn't get out of that chair fast enough. It was a long way to go for a couple lunches and a barbecue but well worth it. Enjoy that place you so wanted to go. We will see you again some day. Love ya, Linda

My sisters and I had the opportunity to see grandma in July. We had lunch with her a couple of days, and took her to a barbecue. I like to think that we gave her some joy in those days that we were there. Goodbye grandma. We will miss you. Love Rick and Cindy
