I love you grandma! I can't express how much you will be missed. Especially at Christmas, birthdays, and just those times that you would come stay with us, or those nights I stayed with you when I was in Richmond for school or just visiting with you. We would stay up talking most of the night until one of us put the other to sleep. I'll miss that the most. Talking to you made everything all better. You put a positive prospective on everything. You are the most gentle, kind, giving women I have ever known. You always would say that you wish you could give all of us more, but grandma, you have given us the most important things in life; love, support, guidance, and so much more. A $1 gift from the dollar store from you always was worth so much more. You put so much thought into each gift you had chosen for each of us. I will treasure those gifts forever. I could go on and on with memories with you, maybe I should write a book. I'm going to pass on all your love and special traditions with Michael Angelo. I want him to always remember you, and he will. I love you sooo much grandma! I know you're in a better place, and I hope to meet you there when my time comes to be with the Lord. oxoxoxo
