Grandmom,
I will miss you already tremendously, as will everyone you ever met. Ever since I was a little girl, my dad would tell me there is a special place in Heaven for your Grandmom and I wasn't sure why he would say that. As I grew older and came to understand the expansive reach of your influence, it made complete and total sense. Your heart was supplied with a never ending supply of love and your soul was fed by selfless service. I always admired that about you. I know you were welcomed into His arms so warmly and that special place you earned here on Earth was given so lovingly. I love you and hope that you will watch over us, giving us little cryto messages to be servant when we are able.
