We loved playing Grandma’s organ for her and singing songs about her life as a young girl. It was so good to see her laugh and smile as we tried to entertain her. We miss you Grandma.

Love Bill & Robin

How we will miss both her and Mick but know they are now walking the streets of gold with their forever friend Jesus. She was such a great part of the Otsego Baptist Church Family. I had her for one of my Sunday School teachers. For this I will be forever grateful. Thank you Maxine for sharing the true story of Jesus and His Love. Sally
