To the best gmother I ever had…
It was a pleasure to be able to be with & take care of you:) My heart Was filled with a love I was never given, a love that I will hold inside me forever! I can’t wait to walk in the fields of paradise with you, barefoot & laughing at all our favorite animals! You are forever in Jehovah’s memory. Always in our hearts…We love you!!
A beautiful, loving woman; I will never forget her smile! Heaven is all the richer now!
I am so very sorry for your loss. May Jehovahs’ strong arms give you comfort and peace during this difficult time.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you all.
Dean and Arletta were very special people to the Pigg family.
The vacations, visits, etc. we’re talked about frequently.
She is with Dean and her family again.
God Bless all of you.
Loved ❤️ 😍 my Grandmother immensely! She loved to cuddle and snuggle…lots of memories getting snuggled and my back scratched while falling asleep. As I got older I realized not all Grandmother's were as sweet as her! I had one of the best. Lots of hugs and 😘 !!! Cannot wait to see you in Paradise!
I never got to know Arletta, but my thoughts and prayers are with her lovely family. Looking forward to the day we can sit and talk and eat cinnamon rolls!
