"My favorite Grandma Memories" by each grandchild and great grandchild

Elyse Jimenez (Grandchild)
Everytime I would sleep in the bed with you growing up, I would get woken up with a butt pat and told "Rise and Shine sleepy head/butt"
Having my back when I needed to pee in the woods and would come with me and have tissues.
Giving me an extremely hot burning towel every morning and night for my face. 
Watching you become a great grandma is my favorite memory. I remember seeing the light come back into you as you had a new reason to spoil a new baby with the best love and care. I could tell having Jalyn and Rosie gave you a new reason to live with so much joy.
Made our childhood Magical and fun with candy and toys for every holiday.
Weekend with you and the cousins getting dirty with popcorn chocolate milk and movies.
Breakfast with cinnamon sugar toast and melon with toothpicks.
Fishing trips and having the best lunch box's.

Jalyn Jimenez (Great Grandchild)
Playing ball with you
Sleep and cuddle time.
Watch movies and play on the tablet.
Playing in the plastic pool.
Eating Ice Cream and cookies with grandma.
Christmas time with you.
Rainbows and dinosaurs.
Going on walks with you, grandpa and Sam.
Brushing teeth.

Rosie Jimenez (Great Grandchild)
Hugs
Kisses

Smith Jimenez (Husband of Elyse)
First time meeting you, as i've never met anyone so welcoming and sweet who immediately treated me as part of the family.

Jadin Knudson (Grandchild)
Walks in the woods being equipped with a fanny pack and all the snacks and juice Boxes we needed for the "hike".
As I got older, some of my more recent favorite memories are our nights playing cards with you, grandpa and me.
Watching horror movies and eating junk food all night.

Cohen Knudson (Grandchild)
Drinking chocolate milk out of the color coded sippy cups and eating popcorn.
Digging into the limitless candy cabinet for pixie sticks, tic tacs and licorice.
Getting the family together for a very big Christmas every year.
Eating chicken nuggets and macaroni and cheese from the plastic animal plates with purple and green ketchup.

Noah Knudson (Grandchild)
Playing up and down the ladder with you and the family.

Taylor Knudson (Wife of Cohen)
Learning how to play up and down the ladder and getting into trouble for bending the cards.
You were always welcoming. I always loved coming over to hang out, playing cards and eat the best beef stew in the world!

Josh and Megan Knudson ( Grandchild/Spouse)
Forced family fun days when everyone was around to make cookies.
Looking forward to every single weekend to spend at my awesome grandparents, as it never got old.
Going on boundary water fishing trips and you always packing the entire house just in case.
I loved your Crunchy Noodles for breakfast lunch and dinner. Still my favorite #1 food.
I always knew you weren't one to say something affectionate, but we always knew you loved all of us through your relentless dedication to the family.
Never letting anyone leave without a hug.
Back tickles as a child were very comforting.
