Dear Jason and Aimee,
I am sitting here thinking about the both of you and wondering how you are doing. My heart goes out to the both of you as well as my love for you. I know you miss Nana very much but you will always have great memories of her. She loved the both of you so much as well as the rest of her grandchildren. Aimee not only have you lost your Nana but you also lost your Godmother. It made her so happy and proud the day we asked her to be your Godmother. Just think she is now with your other grandma and grandpa and think of the catching up they will do!
I love you both very much, Mom
