I love you always, Grandmama. You were the picture of elegance, timeless beauty and sharp wit, and you radiated love and warmth. You taught my mother how to be infinitely patient and caring. You showed me the importance of manners and class, but also how to make an entire room full of people from different generations roar with laughter with a clever, well-timed comment. I miss you, and I love you.

Love always,

Emily
