My fiancée, Tina Quinton, is Grandma Runyan's granddaughter. I only had the pleasure of meeting her twice, as we live so far away. I enjoyed the time I did get to spend talking with her, however, and regret that she is no longer here. I am sure that she had many wonderful stories that I would have loved to have heard. I know that many people loved her and that she will be greatly missed.
You were everything I could ask for in a Grandma. Always had a smile, kiss and a hug when I came to visit. You asked me hows Tina and I knew you cared. I will never forget your laugh as you told stories about your kids when they were growing up. Take care of grandpa and watch over us from heaven. I love you.
Grandma, We will miss you greatly. I am comforted in knowing that you are with my mother (Bonnie) and can rest assured that she has been in good hands since she left us and is sharing those hands with you and her sister and her son Joe. You were always there for us.. It was comforting to know that even when I was remiss in staying in contact with you, you never made me feel bad when I did call or visit. I could always count on you. We love you and will miss you and will keep your love close to our hearts. Love always, Walt and Mary Olson and family.
I have many wonderful memories of Grandma during my childhood. Visiting Grandma and Grandpa Runyan always has had a special place in my heart. It was always a place of love, comfort, laughter and tomatoes (:
Grandma always knew when I was "thieving" from her garden because the salt shaker would always be missing (:
I still eat tomatoes off the vine on a hot suers day with my salt shaker and I'm taken back to childhood (:
I will forever miss you Grandma. Xoxo
Loved and remembered always. Thank you for being an amazing, inspirational, caring and loving Grandma to me. - Greg Burns & Family
