She was my G'ma, my husband Ben shared her with me. She made me laugh because she didn't muck about on the phone.."OK bye"..click! She always laughed at my stories about what had happened to me lately. She was my Grandma, Ben shared her with me. My loss is nil to his, or anyone elses. I just want people to know how much I love her. I hope I have 1/100th of the spirit that she did.

To this day I see G'ma Eby as my own G'ma. She laughed at my stories and sometimes had to verify them with Ben. I know she has found peace at last, knowing of her pains 1st hand. My prayers go out to Jessica. I've lost my mommy, I know that brand of heartache. I love you J ~s

Ashley was a much loved, deeply spiritual, generous, bright and special gift to this world. The twinkle in her eye was but a hint of her unique sense of humor. Of course I'll miss her, but less because I will never forget her, nor can I imagine her leaving us without her watchful, caring spirit. I learned much from her and will remember her kindness, insight and wisdom the rest of my days. Enjoy a well deserved peaceful rest, Ashley. We'll love you always.

Jessica, Fred and family, We were so sorry to hear of your mother's passing. We always enjoyed getting to visit with her, and your dad at family gatherings. Because of the weather and work obligations we will not be able to attend the funeral services. Please know that you will be in our thoughts and prayers tomorrow and in the days to come. I hope that you take comfort in knowing that you will someday be reunited in heaven. We will be making a contribution in her name to the Amercian Cancer Society. Love from all of us Paul, Louise, Adrienne, Trey, Alissa, Catherine
