Grandma, I wish we had more time together. I will never forget all the memories and times we did spend together. Growing up you were there every day, making breakfast, sneaking snacks, making costumes, teaching us kids about hard work yet spoiling all of us to pieces. I love you forever

Grandma Jinny, Thank you for teaching me so much about being strong independent and smart business woman. You were my first boss and made sure I valued every dollar I earned. Thank you for being there making beautiful costumes for Hallowern and letting all the cousins just be together and have so much fun. We all miss and love you.
