Auntie, I wanted you to know how very much I love you and for you being my angel! You are and always will be my inspiration, you are who I aspire to be in life and will always be in my heart and soul. I think about you every day and wish I had more time with you to watch the royal wedding, eat and talk with you, cuddle with you, and to have you near me. I will carry my many memories of you with me for the rest of my life and know how much I miss you and I love you so much! Thank you for always being there for me as both my auntie but also as a grandma..love you Auntie xx
