A granddaughter, JoNell Haderlie age 10 wrote this letter to her grandmother the day before she died;
I know you may be frowning,
But not for very long.
Soon you will be smiling.
And nothing will be wrong.
I know that God will watch you
And you will hear his call;
For you have taught us all so well
He's watching over all.
