I have so many wonderful memories of my Grandma Lin. It’s so difficult to pick just one so as a testament to her character I would like to appreciate how loving, warm, humble, particular, thoughtful, and child like she was. Her family is an extension of who she was and I feel comforted knowing that we were chosen as her family to carry the torch that is her legacy. I love you so very much, Grandma Lin. Thank you for all you have done for me through the years. Roman and Myah love you too and we will always share in your silliness.
So hard to find the words to say good bye to my best friend for so many years even if I moved so far away. Have so many good memories of things we did. Was at your house and you were telling me about the new pie crust recipe you had made but instead of saying pie crust it came out cry post so we laughed till we cried think you had to be there to get it. You had a Fourth of July party on the farm and I won a Teddy bear named him Boom Boom Popper Bear since for a while Boom Boom was a nick name we called you. Still have him sitting in my family room. Thanks for so many fond memories I will cherish them forever. Aloha

Oh, Mommy! I will so miss you and the joy and happiness you brought to all of us! My favorite memories are of when we would go get a hot dog at Roakes, then to across the street to The Book Galley. We would spend hours looking for the perfect read! I loved this one on one time (sorry Heidi and Cricky)! As the years passed, this never ended. Thanks to you, Cory and Brynn share a love of reading/books, too. Even another generation of book loving with Myah (Roman, not so much...ha!). I will always cherish our crafting moments, and silly conversations. I know you are home now and I can hardly wait until I get to join you🩷
