My heart is heavy but I know you are in a better place now. You always had the biggest smile on your face no matter what. You watched me grow up and I am glad you have been a part of my life. You were not only a grandmother to Mooka, but to me as well. I loved you as you were my own and I will forever keep your memory alive. I'd give anything to see you smile again, laugh again, say "hey girly!" When I would come to visit. I love you always grandma. R.I.H my Angel.

My fondest memory of Miss Janie is how much she enjoyed the huge birthday celebration in the park a few summers ago, albeit quite a bit later than December, she absolutely loved the immense celebration. We even got her to get up and dance! My heart goes out to the Bradley family. I know Miss Janie was a strong rock for your family. Her love and strength will live on in your hearts. Love you all, Pati Hawker

To the Bradley family, Jay and I grew up with the family. One vivid memory I have of Snookie is watching her wring out the clothes with her hands every night. She was a giving person. I never felt like a stranger. She always made you feel at home. Quite often feeding me :) You are going to be missed. You're in God's hands now. No more pain. RIP beautiful lady.
