Hey Great Grandma, You don't know how much I've missed you. You never knew that I had cancer, you died 2 days after my cancer tumor was removed back in 2014. That was also 3 days before my birthday. I wish you could see how much I've grown up but I know you are looking down at me. I wish you were still here. Life's been rough, we have gone through a global pandemic within this past year. I wish I could hold your hand and give you one last hug but I never got the chance to. I love you more than words can say. Love you, Your Great Granddaughter, Hannah True
