Today was the first time it became real for me that you were no longer with us. As much as it hurts, I realize that you are no longer suffering. Instead, you are reunited with the love of your life where the two of you will spend eternity together. I love you Grandma, and I will never forget you.

Mushy, You have left behind quite a legacy of love. Every day without you will be a sad one but knowing you're with Grandpa makes it easier on those whose lives you've so enriched. I love you always and I miss you so much it hurts. -Ree
