There are some things in life you just cannot prepare for. Losing a grandparent is one of them.
Rest in peace Grandma. You were always there for so many of us during your life, and we love you very much.

My aunt Alice was a sweet, caring woman who loved her family and friends. For over 50 years, she was the driving force behind our family's amazing 4th-of-July picnics at Miller's Grove, the best Christmas cookie maker ever, and just an all-around beautiful, loveable human being. I will forever miss her, but will never forget how much better she made our world. Rest in peace my sweet aunt.
