I love you so much Grandma! You were always there for me whenever I needed you and even when I didn't know I needed you, you were there. I will miss you so much but I know that you are always with me, in my heart and my memories and watching over all of us from Heaven. You were my angel on this earth and now you are my angel in Heaven. Until I see your beautiful face again.... xoxoxoxo
