Oh grandma, how I miss you so much! I have so many wonderful memories of you. I just grew up 3 doors down from you and so glad for my time with you. As I got older, it was harder for me to come around since the children kept me so busy but I always enjoyed going over to your house. I will remember all the good times we had. From you going to Busch Gardens with us, to the delicious cucumbers you always made for me, well all of us. And, you just always being there for me my whole life. Your passing has taken a toll on me but I know you are in a better place. I miss you and love you so much. And, I will always believe my name is special since you are one that I was named after.

I’m so blessed that I spent 2 weeks with her during Thanksgiving. We reminisced about good times and sad. We laughed alot and shared our love for each other in many ways. She was a wonderful sister and friend. She always looked out for me. I will miss her!
