Hi Grandma. It has been 7 months and 4 days since you went to be with Grandpa. I can't believe it's been that long already. You were my best friend, my idle, my comfort, my joy...you were my Grandma. I can still hear your laugh and see your smile. I can still feel the warmth of your hugs. Your words "I love you, you take care of yourself" will always be with me. I am so glad that you got to meet all of my babies. Paisley still asks to pray for you almost every night. She loves you so much and cherished her time with you. I will remind her of your memory forever. I love you. Thank you for watching over all of us down here. Say hi to Grandpa and give him a big hug and kiss for me. ❤️
