So sorry about your loss. Just know Heaven received another family member for that great reunion that we're waiting for. Miss seeing all of you.
Your family is in our hearts and prayers.
Prayers to the whole family. We will see her again soon.
Words will never say the amount of love and adoration I feel for you. You were the most amazing role model and friend anyone could have. You lived your life selflessly and with passion. I can only hope we will make you proud of us! I will miss our night’s playing cards and long phone conversations and the way you understood me the way no one else could. I love you Grandma and I will keep you in my heart forever!!
